to not be fussed about leaving

[touchingclothno2]

Married a while now, got married in 30s but lived alone in 20s and did well for myself.

I find myself wanting my space more and more. Nothing wrong with marriage, just miss my own space. I have always been quite content in my own company.

DCs are now adult age, last one turns 18 in couple of months. All doing well. I am considering heading off on my own. My ideal would be keep the marriage but maintain my own little place. I can just about afford that, but I think the fallout from doing that would damage the marriage. I do curse the whole expectation of cohabitation! It makes sense when raising children. They have been raised now and I want my own space back! A return to a dating style of seeing each other a few times a week would be the perfect fit for me.

Anyone else ever feel like this? I am very close to acting on it

Can you get more space by actively moving to a different part of the house or going out? I usually only hang out with my partner properly a few nights of the week, sometimes we will be on the same space, like one watching tv while the other reads but other times he will go off and do something upstairs or i will do something in the kitchen. I like it a lot more than mindless tv watching where neither of us is really enjoying the programme.

But yes, can relate to wanting own space in own place, doesnt mean you are unhappy with your partner x
