Space
I love having T here
I really and truly do
I can't wait for him to move in
but
I have grown to like my space
Not all the time
but a few nights a week
I like to be alone
I don't like to talk on the phone
or chat on AIM
or even snuggle on the couch
I just want to be alone
Anyone else feel this way?

ME ME ME! DH works 24 hours every fourth day. It works great for us. Except of course I'm left alone with the three little yahoos, but that's a whole other story.
That was me. I'm having trouble with my password for some reason so I'm posting as anonymous.
That's hilarious about the stalker from Medford. Buahahaha!

I too enjoy the quiet nights when my DH travels. He will be gone this week to RI and I'm looking forward to easy suppers, and not feeling bad reading, watching bad TV, and hanging out on the computer!!
I'll miss him a ton, but it makes me enjoy him before and after a bit more I think. >;->
My hand's in the air B.
I actually read an article about this just yesterday. Apparently more couples are choosing to maintain separate bedrooms and sometimes separate houses apartments!

Yes!!!
I've really grown used to it after this long. After Jack goes to bed, I alternate between loving the alone time and wishing I had someone to share that time with. So I get it completely!
Any specific timeframes for T to move in? And how's Jacob doing?
p.s. Had dinner with V last night, and he asked how you are doing.
Love ya...
Hi from one of your lurkers!
Yes, I like to be alone at night sometimes too. I asked my DH and he said the exact same thing.
He likes sportscenter and I like Desperate Housewives and stuff so it's the perfect time to eat junk and watch whatever I want. Thank God for the DVR thingy on our cable. LOL

hmmmm...nope, I never feel that way after being with kids ALL DAY LONG - ha! I think it is really normal to want to spend time alone, but of course, the key to a great relationship is great communication skills (not always so easy)...so, I recommend you talk about this fear with T, so he understands (which by the sound of it, he is VERY UNDERSTANDING and totally awesome, very much like you). When you are feeling like being alone it will be as simple as telling him and he will understand - instead of being left with feelings of insecurity or doubt, he will be left with the pure and simple feeling of, "B loves me, but just wants time alone." Based on this advice, you might wonder...is she a therapist?...no. Has she been seeing one...clearly.
I am kid free today so I can clean my house and pack for our vacation (after trying on summer clothes to see which ones fit...I will be so pissed if the only shorts that fit me are my maternity shorts...for those of you who don't know, my youngest is now 13 months old). Anyways, I am obviously not getting much accomplished by being on the computer....
Love, G
I can see your point. MK started his new job and will be traveling during the week. I like the time apart, but I feel lonely in a way like a part of me is missing. I can see a couple times a week, but a whole week is too much for me. I think everyone enjoys time apart... I think you should really talk to T about how you feel. I'm sure the both of you can figure out a balance once he moves in with you guys.
Yes. My husband works night shifts sometimes. And sometimes I don't like it, but sometimes..I do like being alone in the house. Put the kids to bed and...it's just me. *sigh*
I can totally relate. Is there anything he does on a regular basis? Like play basketball, poker, soccer with the boys? Encourage that...
:)
Completely understandable, Big Ug accrued to much vacation time last year and started having to take off one day a week extra so he didn't lose it. Just that one extra day a week with him in my hair drove me batty, I couldn't imagine what a transition it will be for you to go from forcibly learning how to like being alone to having someone in your hair again. It's a big step and Gina's 100% on the money about telling him about this. Communication is essential, especially when blending households.
By the way, the medford stalker thing.. I about choked on my coffee. To funny!
