Oh well, I baby him a lot and we do so much together. He has to have me with him all the time. Except when I go quilting somewhere. ROFL. Now I feel bad but I only ask for a few hours a month so it's all good. Right now he is pacing back and forth from the living room into this room and looking out windows. Honestly??????

I did. Actually he fixed his own. The last few days he has been outside piddling so I am using my alone time to clean rooms. LOL. It would be strange without him here. I know the house is really quiet when he goes with DD to Winstar overnight. I am thinking one day a month is my day off and I will go in my sewing room and he can let me play. He is so thoughful, I know if I told him, he would be ok.

Poker, golfing, visiting family in the Midwest, more poker and golfing. Might take up fishing again. Watching the shows on TV that he likes and I don't. Lots of sports. He'd miss me but he would have lots to do.
So, I feel no guilt in knowing I would attend lots of retreats, travel, and quilt as much as I like. Building my stash up too.

He is 8 years older than me and I can tell you that should he pass someday before me, - breaking the rule,
(I always wanted to 'go' first...I don't want to be alone),
but having said all that, there is no reason for anyone to feel guilty about wanting some "me" time.
My dh can be watching tv and I am in sewing room, and most of the time, although I get some stuff done, for some psycho-babble reason, I am just more relaxed and more productive when he is gone doing what makes him happy and I am doing what makes me happy.
We spend time together and I watch tv until sighthe muscle car shows, the motor building shows, and the history shows with all the tales of old prisons and torture etc. come on, and then I leave the room!
LOL...he used to talk about having to watch tv alone, then our computer crashed and I started to come to DD's to use her pc.
Now he is fine with me being home and sewing ;)
He'll do just fine if i do pass first...he'll be busy selling off my stuff, after DGD gets what she wants. :shock:
He calls my fabrics - "grease rags", and laughs!:roll:
Debbie, you tickle me :D with all those cute mousie pictures you find.
Many do not understand there are a whole bunch of us, cute, domesticated meeces that never bother anything that's not ours! ;)

I need the alone time too. Son, his dog, and his buddy/roommate moved in 10 days ago. He bought a house and it isn't ready. DH has been overseeing the remodeling of that house, which has been tiresome, but has given him something to do besides watch Military Channel or all the Business/Financial shows, when his sports shows aren't on.
I'm the exact opposite for TV viewing - movies, forensic science, and old sitcoms. Thank goodness the sewing area is my escape place. My guilty pleasure is to roam the house after everyone is in bed. Then I read the paper, do sudoku, surf the internet, and write emails.
We're together, but have different tastes. That's OK too.

I love all the posts here. SO many reasons we all need our Space. My mom used to ground me to my room and I loved it, sitting in my little red rocking chair and reading my books. I think sometimes, I did it on purpose.:)
All is all I love my DH and he's here to stay. And he is outside this morning already, playing. Yahooooo. And I am in my sewing room. So it's all good.
Everyone have a great week. I am playing in my sewing room all week and on the board. HUGS♥♥

"You know why I do all this?"
"Why?"
"So I don't get depressed!" ;-)
There's a lot of truth in that statement. I would yust go nuts without my quilting and he seems to understand just a bit better :XD:
