Alone Question
| Wed, 01-14-2009 - 6:02pm |
Today Fran mentioned being happy that her DH will be away part of the day Friday and she is happy to have some alone time to herself in her home.
This is how I feel too, need alone time. John does not understand that as he wants to be with me 24/7 every day of the world.
I'm wondering how others feel about this subject.....
Are Fran and I alone in loving alone time?
How do you feel about being alone sometimes?
How much alone time would you prefer to have?
Do any of you prefer to be with your SO or DH all the time?

Oh, how I envy you getting a couple of times a year and a few long weekends alone!! Let me introduce my DH to your DH, maybe mine could go along with your's sometimes..Please!!! LOL!!
John's a good guy, he's just always there! Right now I'm listening to him slurp his cereal and slurp his coffee. Oh, Lord, give me silence!! LOL!! Now mind you, we just finished an interesting conversation that I enjoyed. He is good at that. I'd miss him terribly if he was gone permanently, but I still wish he'd take a weekend trip sometimes. Heck, I wish he'd go someplace for a whole day!! LOL!!
Okay, now I'm going to go into the kitchen and clean up the cereal crumbs that I'm sure he left on the counter. My work load doubled when we got married. Well, it can't all be good. You know what they say, "You have to take the bad with the good." Yea, whatever, blah..blah..blah..LOL!!
Oh, okay, I see what you mean. That doesn't work for me. When he's home, I miss him if he's not near me. When I need to be alone though, I need him totally out of the house. Just knowing he is here even though I may not see him or hear him when he's in another room, is not enough for me. I still have the sense around me that I am not alone.
When I was single, I loved being alone, just not all of the time.
Now I love being married, but I don't want him with me all of the time.
One might think women are never satisfied. I think women just need variety! LOL!
Are Fran and I alone in loving alone time?
-> Nope. In fact, I need alone time and always have even as a child.
How do you feel about being alone sometimes?
-> I enjoy being alone. It gives me an opportunity to sort through my thoughts, do what I want and need to do and I find it calming. Not saying that I don't want company, but I need a good balance of being part of a group and being an individual.
How much alone time would you prefer to have?
-> I'm happy with what I have. Hubby travels about 50% of the time and the daughter is working so I'm home during the day alone. There are times when I feel like I'm alone too much, but that just forces me to get out and mingle.
Do any of you prefer to be with your SO or DH all the time?
-> GOOD LORD NO! We've been married nearly 31 years and I cannot fathom being with each other 24/7/52/12/365. Figure when he retires, I'll be working just to get a break. I love him, but I didn't get married to have him become a part of me. Hazards of being an independent person I guess.

you are right we need to enjoy all the time we have...i don't know what i woudl do without dh. He does get underfoot and then when he is gone...even when ihave the alone time i love...we still 10-4 each other all day. If they make it law that we can't talk on the ten-4 while he works we will truely be lost!!We have talked about this too.
i do have the house to myself during the day and like it...untill he is supposed to be home...then i worry!!
Thomas and i 10-4 too. I miss him and the boys when they are not here!!
LOL donna
i am too pretty for jail LMBO!!
You know what i would like moe than anything?? Grandchildren here during the day. i so miss ours. She is peaved at us again and grant has dug his heals in again. I so want to take the two of them and bang their heads together!!
I was a stay at home Mom most of our married life.SO WHEN DH retired I knew it was going to be a struggle with the way the house was going to run.In all our married life DH never said anything about how anything got done in the house it was my job.When he said he was going to retire I told him time for me to get a job...lol. The saying goes
 
This is a good question Donna.
