Cat and her two male roommates smile for a picture while enjoying dinner around a table.
I decided to move in with two roommates at 37.
  • Due to the soaring costs of living in the UK, I decided to move into a house-share.
  • I get along well with my roommates — two men, aged 37 and 29.
  • Although we make an unlikely trio, I love our low-key dinner parties and board-game nights.

The first time I had roommates, I was 19 and at university. I was one of four in a run-down house where bedroom dining was the norm, and piles of crusty dishes were simply part of the decor.
