Going to bed together

I'll just dive in. 90% of the time I go to bed with my wife. The other times I like to stay up late have some alone time. We have 3 kids 6,8 and 9. I get up and take care of my duties. Sometimes I'm tired and the day is hard, sometimes that is and my wife also has times the she has been out late and finds the day hard.

I have some time off so am enjoying staying up a bit later and not having to get to bed. I knew something was going to be said. I prepared for it. My wife feels we are drifting apart because over the last 3 weeks I've not come to bed with her for say 7 of those days.

Just wanted thoughts really

Another vote here for going to bed when you want to - although a couple of times a week it's maybe not a bad idea to go to bed together.

I invariably get a second wind at 9pm- even if i have been really tired all day! It's very annoying! But i am just not up for going to bed that early all the time.
