How much time is enough alone time when you are living with someone and you have a child?
My DP goes to the gym twice a week, he gets to lie in bed alone every morning for an hour, after work he has two hours of alone time whilst I feed DC and put him to bed and then when the weekend comes he has two hour long baths before then going off to the "shop" for 2-3 hours (Saturday and Sunday except Sunday the was just gone an hour).
I don't begrudge people needing time to themselves but I don't get any unless our DC is asleep and he is not in but then I have jobs around the house. What is the norm in a relationship with regard to time alone? He seems to want more and gets angry and frustrated if I raise my concerns about him missing at the weekend while I look after our child.
Any thoughts on what the "norm" should be if there is a norm?
