View Full Version : getting some alone time from the s.o.
Baboon 11-08-2005, 07:37 AM So do any of you who live with your s.o. (spouse or otherwise) really look forward to some alone time? My wife has plans Sunday and I am very much looking forward to having the house to myself that day. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife to death and we're best friends, but sometimes it's nice to just have a few hours to myself. I probably won't do much Sunday, but it'll be nice. :)
Samson 11-08-2005, 07:42 AM A few minutes, only leave me wanting more, like eating one potato chip.
A few hours can be savored.
A few days can be dangerous.
A few years could really be fun.

The only thing I enjoy about him not being home is that I can clean the house and it stays that way. Other than that, no.

Hmmm...maybe enjoying alone time is more of a man thing...or a baboon thing. My wife hates when I'm not around (the poor thing is so attached :D )
mickio 11-08-2005, 08:05 AM Not a man thing or a baboon thing. I'm not living with anyone right now (unless you count beatlebabe, but that's NOT the same situation) But when I did I LOVED any alone time I got. Even if nothing was done. But I've always enjoyed solitude.
Tally 11-08-2005, 08:36 AM I've been living with my boyfriend for 2 years and I certainly value my alone time. Occasionally he'll take a trip without me to Boston or Vermont to visit friends and I enjoy having time to myself. Sometimes he says he feels bad about leaving me behind but I encourage him to go, I don't want either of us to be dependant on the other, being able to make decisions without your other half and being able to entertain yourself are valuable traits.

That's not what you said the other night :mad:

But yeah, when I was married I enjoyed alone time. Of course if you knew my ex husband you'd know why....

He's a really nice guy in very very small doses. I told you to go on a date with him, not marry him!

I should've let my sister & her husband kidnap the bride :(
Oh wait, that was at the reception. Too little too late then.
Monster 11-08-2005, 11:47 AM Hell, I've never been married, but even when my relationship consisted of my ex-girlfriend just calling me every day (every. single. day. Sometimes five times in a day.), I was terribly fond of the days when I was too busy to talk with her.
Clinginess is bad.

Alone time is nice..although when you and your s/o share your house with a roomate your never really alone :|
boedicca 11-08-2005, 01:52 PM One of the greatest luxuries in the world is time alone in one's own space.

Mystlet 11-08-2005, 05:50 PM I love my alone time. But with 2 kids, a love-starved cat, and a man who likes to be by my side as much as possible...I don't see much of it.
kellet 11-09-2005, 03:36 AM I get my solitude by going out shopping alone. That's all I need.
Privacy is an important part of life.
When my wife locks herself in the bathroom it's only because she needs her alone time. I don't ask what she does in there because I don't want to know. :|

The occupants of my 4 bed .75 bath (the full bath is being remodeled) 1700 sq ft home are:
1) Me
2) Wife
3) 2 year old son
4) Sister in-law
5) Sister in-law's boyfriend
6) 4 year old nephew
7) 6 year old nephew
8) My cat Les
9) My wife's cat Casper
10) My dog Charlie
11) Their guinea pig. I forgot its name.
12) Their cat squishy
Heck yes! I enjoy the 10 minutes of alone time I get every once in a while. I can't wait until they move. ugh!
More on topic: my wife and I prefer to have alone time. We even take seperate vacations once a year. Plus, a family vacation. Too much of each other is a bad thing.
