The GF can't understand that sometimes I just want to go home and lay about at my own place....without her. That I'm tired after 6 hours of shopping and errands.

I've tried to communicate it to her but I think she takes it personally. I'm an introverted guy. I need a breather to recharge.

Is this unreasonable? I'm starting to think she is being clingy.

Nope, I'm the exact same way. It's relaxing doing stuff like shopping or watching a movie or something without the SO.

You're completely normal.

Unfortunately, she's completely normal, too.

As long as you're ok with some other guy keeping your GF company while you get your alone time.

Red flag.

It's ok if they're overbearing naturally, but if you talk to them about it and they still don't understand then it's a massive problem.

Most women don't get it. You might say "I just need some time to myself" but what they are hearing is "I need time away from YOU".

Do like I did, marry a flight attendant ;)

My GF gets mad that I take afternoon naps after waking up at noon.

I'm sorry she drags you into shopping and errands. We do all ours separately even though we live together.

Anytime a man says he wants to be alone his old lady automatically thinks he's going to see his side piece. It's in their DNA.

Doesn't matter, you are an a-hole for that. Only how the woman thinks and feels matters. Your welcome for the knowledge..

People that need alone time are normal, people that can't be alone...are not
