Is it wrong to want some time alone?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be alone sometimes. Maybe take up a hobby that does not include her like running, or something. If you want to be alone at home, perhaps sign her up for a class as a gift like yoga that requires her to be out of the house a couple of hours each week while you are home. I have been with my husband for 18 years and we still have moments where we need some space from each other. Not getting the space starts nitpicking and arguments about stupid things. I recently took a trip for work and extended it by several days so I could spend some time alone in a different city. I went out with a friend and her husband one night, but spent the rest of the time wandering around a city by myself. It was kind of relaxing and refreshing to have no one to think about but myself for a change.

I live with my partner and we usually get on very well, but recently I've just wanted some time alone. My parents live on the other side of the planet and I don't really have anyone else to talk to about anything, so I find myself just wanting to be left alone, but she is a uni student and...

I am so glad you posted this, I am in excatly the same position so I know precisely what you are saying.

I recently went to see a Psych doctor who confirmed that I need time to myself (which I pretty much already knew). It is an important part of life, so in answer to your question, no, it isn't wrong to want time alone. In fact it is essential!

I just wish I could manage to do it (My wife is very clingy and demanding). I was also told to find someone to talk to who you can express your problems, so if you want to, I'm happy to help you out.

It isn't wrong at all.

If you need the space, ask for it. Depending on what your girl is like, she may take it the wrong way, but if you are just open and honest with her and let her know that you are the kind of person who needs a little alone time, it may help her understand. Reassure her in positive ways that it is just what you need. Do special things for her to show your appreciation for her respect of your needs.

Good luck. :)

Every here has great answers to your problem, just don't get angry if she thinks your pushing her away. My girlfriend feels somewhat hurt that I need some alone time as well, but after maybe a week or so she got over it and knew our boundaries. I hope your partner feels the same!

Good luck friend!^^

ok. here is the deal.

1. you can have alone time if she knows where your at and what your doing(always have your cell phone with you)

2.be prepared for her to want to be apart of it if you get a hobby that she is not a part of.

3. talk to her and tell her your feelings about needing me time otherwise she will feel you are growing apart(big trouble there).

4.most married men refer to this as bathroom time were they hide out for an hour till their but goes numb reading books and etc.

There is nothing wrong with it. But seriously, it depends mostly why u want to be left alone. If there is something worrying you your partner should be able to help. I just hope your are not getting tired of her.

No, its not wrong to want some time alone, just make sure you tell her that. and how you feel. My partner tends to pick fights in order to get his time alone, I'm not really sure if he does this intentionally, or he just doesn't realize he needs time alone or something.. i dunno.. I'd much prefer him just tell me he wants to be alone. Just make sure you let her know she hasn't done anything wrong or anything like that, Besides, everyone always says absence makes the heart grow fonder :)

No. Actually, it's perfectly healthy for couples to have a day off from each other. I ask for it once a month from my wife and she let's me have it. Just don't give him/her reasons to doubt you and what you're doing on you time alone. Remember, you have his/her trust.

get out there and do something just for you. tell her that you need some me time and the two of you can arrange a time when you can be on your own, maybe she also wants some me time
