To think I can't relax in my own home?

[Galwaygirl]

Is it me or do you find it hard to relax in your house, find it hard when she is here as I always feel there are things to be done in his eyes, when in laws call I jump up if sitting down and if cars come around I feel I need to be up and about,anyone else?

DH has this problem during the day. I don’t.

It is so sad that so many of you feel you have to be doing something ‘constructive’ all the time, I can happily do more or less nothing all the time. Since 4pm today I have had a nap, shoved a few pizzas in the oven for DS & his friends, poured myself a glass of wine, made a couple of phone calls and spent the rest of the time on Mumsnet . Now time for bed. *Also done 15 mins ironing.

I don't think this is normal OP, no. You should feel comfortable around your own partner, able to relax and do nothing in your own home.

Why do you feel like you can't do that with him there?

If you can't chill in your own home there's something skew with your marriage/relationship.
