To want time off ON MY OWN <pout>

[Gallopingthundercunt]

DH has been off work since April due to ill health. He's not been actually "ill", just not able to work IYSWIM.

During this time I have worked extra shifts, carried out the bulk of the household tasks, done all the driving etc which I've not moaned about much, at all Today, joy of joys he's back at work and will hopefully quickly build back to five days a week, thus reducing some of the pressure on me.

So today I mentioned that I may book a few days off once school is back, just time to recharge, get the house back together and enjoy a little time without someone always chattering in my ear DH jumped at this idea as he apparently has some holiday left, and thinks it would be lovely for us to spend some time "together"

I think I did a passable imitation of thinking this a good idea, but quite frankly I want to be alone and left in peace I fully admit that he has found the last few months stressful as well, but he has at least had the opportunity to sit in front of the TV in his underpants, shovelling crisps down his throat if the mood so took him.

AIBU to want a few days off alone?

Now you see, I'd tell DH that is booked xx days off and then, once he's booked the 'same' says off, preferably near the leave time, tell him that boss got leave wrong, can't possibly change it so you're off the week before you'd requested or you lose the days!!

Oh rememberall, I can just picture the crumpled look of disappointment etched on his face when I told him. And actually, I'm quite fond of the crotchety old git just not all the time
