Hopefully Not Too TMI For This Forum...

I have the same problem. I can't tell you how many times I have told my husband to leave me alone because I need my own personal space. It is an occupational hazard.

I guess I'm the odd one out! I can't wait to see him so we can catch up about our day. He always calls me at least once so we can chat.

However, on the weekends I do like my alone time at some point. I have locked myself in our room....working on "daycare stuff" ::

I am unmarried & not dating anyone - so that aspect isn't an issue at this time. But I will tell you, that I am CONSTANTLY shooing my poor dogs away when I get home. I just want to sit uninterrupted for 30 minutes. Everytime they come up to me I catch myself thinking "Now someone wants something else from me". I feel so bad for them, but I just want some alone time.

Yes, personal space becomes a bit sacred when you have been pulled and tugged on all day!

I sit in my car for at least 20 minutes at the end of each day just to de-stimulate. My hubby usually wants to play/hug and most days (especially since I've been pregnant) I can't handle it right away.

I have to remind myself too that he spends his nights completely alone in a bakery and his days alone at home. Well at least he'll have a lots of babbly, drooly company soon.

I do that. I sit in the driveway, and check all my websites on my phone, and just decompress for a while.

I tell my kids and dh that there is noone allowed in my bubble and I'm not taking requests for 30 minutes after my work day ends most of the time. I NEED it. I'm totally fine for the rest of the night once I have that bubble time.

Ooohhh, yes I experience this as well. Add into it my own two young children and I'm frequently touched out. DH doesn't get it. he's finally started to get used to the fact, but it still bugs him a lot.

Ahh definately. As I've mentioned other places here, my husband has been unemployed for the past year, so I'm about ready to shoot myself. I love him to death, but drives me nuts when I finally get all the kids to sleep, make my lunch, turn my shows on and here he comes and plops next to me and wants to have "us time". Just to watch a show or talk. I told him I've been talking all morning, I want to just fall into a stupid tv show. Then one night, I went out to our front porch to relax and all of a sudden he pops his head out the door and said "found ya". Thought that would be his last day on earth!! We store our 29 foot camper within a mile of our house, so there has been times when the weather has been nice that I've gone over there and sat in the camper and read a book or did a puzzle and told him I was out shopping. bwahaha!!!

Oh yes! When I'm done for the day I seriously like to be left alone. When my daughter is home (not at her dads) I do everything I can (cuddle, play, snuggle up and watch a movie) but when she's not here I have a huge issue.. I'm always telling my fiancée not to hang on me, lay on me ect! And he's not an overly affectionate person to begin with, so I feel TERRIBLE!
