LOL - I know what you mean... luckily, my hubby and I have one day off each a week, where the other one is working, so we get at least one day a week to ourselves..
I think everyone needs some alone time periodically, otherwise your brain and nerves don't have time to relax and it can be very overwhelming.
Me too. My FI travels for work a lot and he can be gone for 4-5 days at a time. Sometimes I can't stand it but other times I really enjoy having a "break" from him and being by myself.
I would love to have this, but I never really get a break. It seems like when my BF isn't around, my kids are still there (and vice versa), so I don't truly get to appreciate time that is just for me.
I love my alone time! FI works second shift (Sun-Wed) and I work a regular 9-5 so when I get home he's at work. He comes home for dinner just about every night and we spend a few hours together before he has to go back. I love him, but I also love it when he goes back to work lol! It's the perfect time for me to relax with the puppy before getting ready for bed. We spend Thursday and Friday nights together and all day Saturday, so when Sunday rolls around and he has to go to work I'm ready for me time 
.
I don't crave it that often, but when I'm alone in our apartment when the hubs is away, I totally relish in it. I put on my sweats, get a pint of ice cream, get take-out and rent girly movies that I would be ashamed to tell my husband I watched. I love those nights, and I think it's totally normal to want/need them.
I hear ya, Steph. Of course, I can't wait to be with FI but I do need some alone time too. Being on my own without having someone next to me is one of the things that I am going to miss about being single. I like hanging out by myself. Time to read or watch tv or blog. I hope that we get a good balance of together time and alone time in our marriage.
You are so not alone on this! During football season I get Sundays to myself, which is nice, but some nights during the week (especially after a rough day at work) I wish I could just have a few hours to myself and just do whatever.
I love being all by myself. I think I need it more than the average person too. My fiance tends to work on the weekends so I love staying home on Saturdays and just doing my thing. I've always been a homebody too so I spend lots of time at home with or without the guy.
FI goes to his class for his Masters Degree once a week- so nice.
@Miss Chapstick - oooh! Sweats, comfy clothes, girly movies, ice cream...HEAVEN!
YES!!! And my FI is kinda anti-social, so when his friends call him to do something, I'm like: "Gooooo!!!! I can take care of myself!!" But he doesn't want to. Hahaha. But those nights that he has to work late, I catch up on all the TV that I've been collecting on the DVR. I lived alone for 2 1/2 years before I moved in with FI, and sometimes I just miss it. Leaving my plates out for days. Sitting on the couch in my bathrobe. Law & Order marathons. Those were the days.
I LOVE alone time. I'm all about it. In my free time I like to lock myself in my room or go outside to commune with nature, haha. Thank goodness MinMan likes plenty of space too!
We just moved in together 3 months ago so it's taken a lot getting used to the lack of "me" time. I subtly tried to convince him to turn last week's day trip to Chicago for work into an overnight.
I'm awful, I know.
I think it's totally normal to need some alone time. I know I love living with The Hubs, but it's nice to get some time to myself--just to veg out on the couch and watch my shows or whatever.
It is definitely normal. My husband works and I'm by myself a lot. Some days I miss him and others I love having the space to myself. We also live with the in-laws and 2 of his sisters, so sometimes it's really nice when everyone is gone. Lately, I've really been wanting to spend time by myself, so I've practically been holed up in our room for days. I got caught up on reading some books I had for about a month and did some blogging since I don't care for people to read over my shoulder when I do. Plus, when I'm here by myself, I'm in the charge of the television, so no football! Right now I'm watching 'Amazing Wedding Cakes' and not feeling at all awkward or guilty about it.
I like to sleep in on weekend morning alone. Does that count? :) I love cuddling with him at night, but when he gets up early on weekend mornings and takes the dogs downstairs with him, I LOVE having that big king-size bed all to myself!
I dont crave it, but I used to. I was used to living alone and having all me time. It took a little bit to adjust at first. Im away from him all day at work and I cant wait to get home to him. I have my "me" time an hour drive to work and back.
YES! And I hate when I'm expecting alone time and it changes. A few weeks ago, FI told me he had class and I was super-excited to watch a couple horror movies with some wine. Then he called and was like, "ohhhh, my class got cancelled! Now we can spend time together!" Noooooooooo ;o)
When FI goes out of town for business or to his parents I act all sad but inside I am relishing some time in the apartment by myself :o)
LOL! FI works out of state 3 months a year, and while he is gone I get sad, mopey, lonely etc.
Lately though, I wish he would go away for a while. Ha!
I used to have a boyfriend who constantly stayed at my apt overnight. I was in grad school too- so I was always around people or had my nose in a book and when I didnt he expected to spend every second with me. I used to have "bath time." He would sit in my office and chat with his brother who was in Iraq and I would be in the bath with candles, wine, and music to eliminate any other sound in the building. He was not allowed to bother me. It was the perfect retreat! I do need alone time.. a lot of alone time just to recharge, ya know? For me, bath time is one way to get it!
I love having some me-time to watch sappy movies/dramas and read girly, twilight-esque books! but too much free time and I start to get bored, so it's good I don't have it tooo often. :)
Absolutely! Alone time is crucial for me. I need to be able to charge my batteries and be completely me and only me before he comes back and we merge again. I love him deeply but I need me time!
I love a little me time! If he's going out with his buddies or goes to play poker or something like that, I always clear my schedule and make some time for the couch and a frivolous chick flick! Every once in a while, you need a break!
I do need alone time, but here lately we've had too much! Between finals, graduation, looking for jobs, traveling, etc. we've spent the last 2 months barely seeing each other (which isn't good when we JUST got married). :(
I am terribly independent and worried that b/c I've been by myself for so long I won't know what it's like to NOT have a teeny bit of alone time.
I crave it sometimes. I have my son almost all the time and when he goes to visit his half sister at his dads' that was my alone time. After T and I began dating, those alone times became couple date night times.
Being alone is a scarcity these days.
I love being with both of them, but sometimes you just want a day to yourself. A whole day.
i know this might be weird but, my man and i have lived together for almost a year and a half now and pretty much spend all day together...when we hang out with friends we do it together, when we study we do it together, all the way till we crawl into bed at night together. and i have not for one second felt like i "needed space" or some alone time. i mean, we have the occasional boys' night out or girls' night out, but it's just for fun; neither of us actually feel like we "need it". i don't understand what it is, because i have always felt that way after spending more than just a day or two straight with previous friends and boyfriends, like it was too much and i needed a break from them for just a little while. the only time i want him out is when i clean, he just gets in the way. :P there's nothing unhealthy about our relationship. we don't weird out our friends or anything. we just act like a really attached but totally casual, not suffocating or psycho couple. we come as a set, heh. does anyone else have this sort of relationship?
I am echoing Miss Chapstick here - I am all about my sweats, chinese delivery, ice cream and chick flicks when I get alone time. It doesn't happen often but wow, when it does, I am toooootally into it!
MEEEEEE. I need MY space. Space with hubby is NOT the same. Luckily he is the same way and when I say, "I need some me time" he goes "okay" and trots downstairs to play video games or just leaves me alone.
But yeah, it's nice when he leaves to go watch football and I can just be by myself...i'm not an overly attached person in general and while I love having around, I love not having him around, too =]. I can appreciate the time where it's just me, by myself, although it took me awhile to get to that point and I will be the first to admit it!
I "craved" alone time before I met my husband. With family or friends or ex boyfriends too much togetherness would make me crazy. Now, not so much. But I am unemployed and I only go to school two or three days a week. So I do get a couple of whole days to myself. So I don't crave the alone time like I used to.
Oh me. I work with the public, so between that and Mr. KM, I have NO alone time. When I do get a moment to myself, I want it... for MYSELF! I've isolated myself from my friends and I really hate that, but I need my alone time too much.
I love my alone time. Even if I can't get it as frequently as I like, sometimes I just pick up a book while we're watching TV (i.e. football, basketball, baseball) and zone everything out.
I absolutely crave alone time!! We don't live together yet and I'm worried about living together for that reason. But... I'm totally honest with my guy about it (to the point that I can tell him "I just need an alone night" and he's cool with it and it doesn't hurt his feelings)... so I have got to hope that will continue and I can send him to his friends' house occassionally if I need to :)
I recently found out FI wants it more than me... we are both fairly independent people! I don't know what we'll do when we're living together again, we definitely will need a bigger house!
Oh I love it. I NEED it. And not just from FI, from everyone! LOL He is so different though. He always has to have someone else around, whether it's me or a friend. I would go crazyyyyyyy if I had people around me that often!

to be alone?
Don't get me wrong, Bees. I love spending time with the man. But there are just some moments when I Crave with a capital C my alone time. Some nights when the man tells me his working late, a small surge of excitement quells from the depths of my soul for I know I will get my alone time.
Anyone else need this?
