Alone time?

Post Reply New Topic

I can't at all empathize- I hate being alone.
I also hate being around most people, and it exhausts me, but that doesn't apply to the person I'm in a relationship with, or to my family.
They are my "inner circle", so to speak.

But everyone's different.

Everyone is different but, personally, my husband's company is the only one I can stand and doesn't make me feel like I need to get away. He doesn't drain me. Most of the time we are each on our own computers and not directly interacting anway but it is comfortable. I don't particularly mind being alone without him there either, though, I guess being with him is pretty close to being alone anyway

Thank you for your replies, everyone. I have a theory that it may not actually be the time spent with my boyfriend that drains me, but (just hear me out) all the driving I do every weekday. I spend more times in my car than anywhere else, it seems. One of my days typically goes like this: Wake up, drive to school, work, drive home, lunch, drive to school, class, drive to boyfriend's house, time with him, drive home, sleep... and then repeat ad infinitum. I don't really have a choice in the matter with the work and school part, but by the time I'm finished at 7:30 PM, I just want to crash at home. And that's not even including time I have to dedicate to homework.

This theory ties into the "What if we moved in together" question, but that's a whole 'nother issue. However, I believe it may help in a way. Anyway, I'm glad to have so much insight from all of you. Keep them coming if you have something to add

In response to the above, an amendment to my post would be that I am drained and stressed any time I am not at home regardless of who I'm with. (Work is alright as well since I don't have to interact much with what I am currently doing and its part of my normal daily procedure.. sit at a desk, type at a computer).

Your schedule would definately stress me out mooniestar; I would not want to go to his house in order to spend time with him, I want to be at home. And my husband would have an aneurism or a stroke on that schedule since he finds driving itself to be extremely stressful and panics about it any time he has to drive.
