re: Do you like to be alone?

My wife absolutely cannot be alone. She wants me to do everything with her. Its exhausting, but I love her for it.

I'll never understand it though. She doesn't like running to the pharmacy down the street alone or going to the gym alone or anything that most people don't think twice about doing alone.


My life

I can't even be in another room most of the time. She'll always ask what I'm doing, or why don't I want to sit in the living room while she watches TV.

mine too, but I tell you brothers it can be managed. Encourage your wife to do things with her friends twice a week and then you get a respite. Or just tell her to leave you alone.

What gets me is that she can't go to the pet store alone but like hell she will go to the grocery store with me.

Yep.

That's why I went to college, get a ball education that I can parlay into bar small talk.

Seriously, tell me if you really think this.

I feel lucky that she encourages me to play 18 instead of 9 holes so she can work out and watch netflix on a sunday

That's cute and all till you have kids.

I'm married with two kids and I could probably be gone for a week before my wife realized I'm not there.

my fiance has a twin sister and they've always been very close. As long as we are in the same city, I know she will always want to spend time with her sister without me there. Kids or not.

Grew up an only child. Love and need alone time. Like traveling alone. I'm pretty resourceful.

I am up later than my fiance for an hour or 2 every night and enjoy the time to myself. She is up earlier than me as well. With my line of work and general lifestyle, I find it relaxing to have my nights alone.

My husband works a M-F 9 to 5 type job. I work 3 12 hour night shifts(7p to 7a) a week. Both of us are the types that thrive on having enough alone time. I know he loves having 3 nights every week where he can just relax at home and have the living room to himself to watch whatever he wants on tv. There have been nights where my shift got cancelled at work and he looks almost kinda disappointed about it..."oh, you aren't working tonight"

On the flipside, I go to bed later than him and I'm like you...I like the alone time as well. Also I have days off during the week and can enjoy the house to myself while he's at work.

I love spending time with him on my days/nights off, love date nights with him, love traveling with him...but I just need breathing room as well. We spend too much time together...we start fighting with each other over the stupidest shite.
