Sometimes an empty house is better than a shared one

I'm looking into buying a place (29F) and when I tell people I'm looking a place for me only, no option of a future partner, I get a lot of condescending advice. Lots of saying I should wait until I get a partner to buy, to the point where one older adviser told me I was stupid to waste time buying a house if I'm just going to want to buy one with a partner later. I'm aroace so there is no chance of a partner in my future, but that's none of their business tbh.

When I tell them my mom buying a place with my dad made her a victim of decades of financial abuse under the threat of homelessness, they tend to change their tune very bluntly. The one who said I was stupid was very uncomfortable and ended up not contacting me again.

I know what it is that I want to do and I'm aware most people get a house with a partner. Maybe I'm making an informed decision to do it the way I'm doing it and haven't started the biggest financial undertaking of my life based on a whim!
