Completely on my own?
I am a SAHM to four home educated children. I love my life...most of the time.
But I dream of solitude. Long hours of writing interspersed by long walks.
If I mention this dream to DH, his eyes light up and I realise he hasn't got it at all.
But I can't exactly say to him: "No, I mean without you as well! Much as I love you, you also clutter up my mind."
So, if I ever do get this break I so desperately want, I'll have to have it either with him, or knowing that he's sitting at home with the children feeling rejected.
AIBU to feel a little bit desperate for more time alone...properly alone? He gets a whole hour twice every day - I don't think he realises quite how much I would love even that (journey to and from work, without bickering children, and listening to what I want on the radio).
I do love him, and want to spend time with him, but I want solitude.
