I'm tempted, but my survival instinct tells me that wouldn't be a smart move.David @ iretiredyounghttps://www.iretiredyoung.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-18969170314390383542018-11-04T09:45:26.563-05:002018-11-04T09:45:26.563-05:00"When the cat's away, the mouse will play..."When the cat's away, the mouse will play."—that fits! I loved your description of how you spent the days B was away. Hopefully she doesn't read that post! It's true that we need our time alone, and that it benefits a relationship to make sure it happens. My time alone consists of the early morning hours, usually 5 to 7:30, when I write, think, daydream, and generally have a good time!

I also am the one who likes "stuff" surrounding her, and he sometimes cleans things up. I'll be gone for a week in January and he'll clean and tidy up. Very similar to your situation. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-15335916002213484452018-11-01T21:56:57.326-04:002018-11-01T21:56:57.326-04:00Cute.

Yes a little alone time can be lots of fun until you reach that point where you are satiated with all the fun and ready to get back to the life "we" created.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894294588507668479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-63429413682472152622018-11-01T19:52:32.091-04:002018-11-01T19:52:32.091-04:00I like it a lot when my wife leaves, too.

Clean the house up a bit and do more or less what I normally do with a few indulgences.Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171465643644263860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-62657511292082792022018-11-01T14:02:54.133-04:002018-11-01T14:02:54.133-04:00It's nice that you can be independent when you...It's nice that you can be independent when you want to be.

On the nights that I stay over, there is an audible happy sigh. My husband creates a soup (every bit of left overs in the fridge) for dinner and gets eggs for breakfast. He lives out in the workshop with the dog close by his side. No one to bug him, he gets larger projects done.<br /> I get my fill of gabbing and making kid friendly meals....<br />I think our time apart is as important as our time together. I certainly appreciate him more when I return. <br />Seems you have a similar experience.Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.com
