  NO!!! You are not joined at the hip for a reason. We all need time to ourselves. If you are feeling guilty, don't. If your friends are making you feel like there is something wrong with you, it's them. And if your guy is making you feel like there is something wrong with this maybe you had better think about why he feels this way.

  We all need space. You say you spend your days sleeping or watching TV? It sounds like you need a vacation. Maybe you need to get a job and work yourself into exhaustion. I heard depression can be caused by someone thinking about themselves too much. Maybe you are focusing on yourself too much and it's getting to you. Get out and get some fresh air, walk around the block, go to the book store and spend some time there alone.

  Just be glad you are not married to a "married hermit." Those are the guys that work by themselves in the garage all day long, or work long hours at the job. Their favorite pass time is spending time by themselves.

  All I have to say is this....I have three beautiful children. I love them more than life itself. I would die for them..... But if I had to spend 24/7 with them I would kill them myself! Everyone needs space now and again. The other poster was right. Sometimes just a part time job will get you time for yourself and get you extra spending $$$$$. Then you can spend time for yourself buying things that make you feel good.

  I think you may have misunderstood me a bit charlygirl. When I get my alone time is when I sleep or watch TV. I don't do that all day. I have a great job that pays well and most times I do work myself into exhaustion. I just need to know that after giving my all at work and at home, that it's ok for me to just want to be by myself for a little while.

  Misanthropic romantic by no means is it wrong to want some alone time. Some you time. Spending time alone enhances your overall being and enhances your relationship. Being w/o your significant other allows you to focus on you and be a little pleasantly selfish with how you dress, talk, or do nothing at all. Alone time is important because it allows you to hear your own thoughts Spending time alone can give you more things to talk about with your man! If I was with my man all the time it would be sooo boring! Explain to him that time alone only creates more anticpation for you two to be together. And Anticipation is key.
