To be annoyed DP hasn’t gone in to the office?

I might be a bit unreasonable but I’m so wound up. DP was meant to go into the office today but decided last minute this morning that he couldn’t be bothered and without sounding dramatic, it’s sent me over the edge. Love him dearly but I just want some peace! He’s meant to go in three days a week but it’s not really enforced. I’m fully remote so always at home. I feel like I rarely get time to myself.

If I go visit my family then obviously there’s people there but then he gets the house to himself same if I go meet friends. I get two hours to myself on Saturday morning when he’s at parkrun (if he goes) but that’s super early so I don’t really get to enjoy the alone time if you see what I mean. Anyway the reason I’m so upset today is because I only have one work call in my calendar for half an hour. I started a new role two months ago and this is the emptiest my calendar has been since I started so naturally I was looking forward to really getting to enjoy being alone. I’ve had so many early calls and training starting at 7:30 am due to time differences and I’m just exhausted and talked out.

I know some people hate days when they don’t get the chance to speak to anyone but I love them! They so rarely happen and I’m neurodiverse so desperately need time to decompress every now and then. He’s said he’ll go in tomorrow but my calendar is packed tomorrow so it makes no difference. Obviously I’m not going to force him out of his own home but AIBU to be annoyed. I’m ashamed to admit I had a quick cry in the shower this morning.

Does he give you the alone time you need, even though he doesn't understand why you need it, @AmIEnough? I hope so.

He does although I really don’t think he understands

Yep ADHD and it’s definitely a struggle at times

I’m here for you. I could not deal with what you deal with. Also if you have children just know it gets worse 😂

We don’t have kids yet and I won’t lie it makes me anxious thinking of how relentless it must be as I know I will definitely needs bursts of alone time then. However my partner is supportive overall so I’m sure we will both give each other the chance for time to ourselves.
