Having the house to yourself - and are there things you can't do with other ppl?

I had the whole house for myself today after a long time this weekend. my roommate went home and my sister went to visit our parents so I invited my boyfriend over. I mean, he comes when my sis and my roomy are here too but it was much different now. We said that it is going to be this way all the time when we get married and we wished we could be alone and together every day. I hope marriage is really going to be that great but we am not planning to get married yet maybe in a year or two.

Alone time I am not sure if I know what that is!! lol no seriously I hardly get time to myself I have my kids with me or if not them my hubby is home from work. I know how you feel with the exercising by yourself I am the same way but I never get a chance to be by myself so I had to learn to get over it. I do taebo and my 3 yr old watches me and laughs ughh not the best thing but hey I have to do it!

I believe that we have all the rights to keep ourselves private, especially when in our home. I prefer to be atleast alone at home, where I know I can enjoy doing anything I want. Good thing we don't have that much visitor here, who stays in our house for a long time. You just have to wait for some time your house guests goes home, or you can also perform those excercise regiments in a room where you are the only who can enjoy doing it. if you want, you can also talk to your husband about that matter so it can be settled in a nice way.. BTW Say hello to your hubby from his good old friend, Raijin..

I also feel the same way. . . Right now my partner is not around and i will be home for 10 days alone, alone in our bed and in our house. I always like him to be around but there is this kind of feeling that somehow give some relief that i can do the things alone without anyone watching. Or i can be myself and go crazy as i wish. 4 years of being together this will be the longest day that we will not see each other. I missed him also but i still feel okay. And i realized that i need time to be alone and be myself without anyone around so i dont have to be afraid of any criticism or being joked by anyone. Every one needs a break to everyone. . . even to your love ones.

That is the one thing I cannot do with other's around - do an exercise video or other exercise - like sit-ups. I feel that I'm being watched or laughed at because I am so not coordinated. I also don't like to start creative ventures when other people are around. Once I get going and focused it's okay (probably because I get so focused that I don't know they're around).

I love having my 'alone time' sessions. If I didn't I think I'd kill my boyfriend!! During these times I also do my exercise videos, make my video blog (I really can't make them while he is in!), or just having a nice quiet time reading or similar. Some of it is completely irrational embarrassment, he is my boyfriend, he knows practically everything about me and yet I just can't make a video blog or throw my self about to a video while he's there! Crazy but true! I do love it when I use the time just to be a bit pensive without someone asking me if I'm ok (which I am) or interrupting (by making me answer!).

I can't talk a lot when there are many people in the house. I can't play the piano, I can't log on the net, I can't clean the house LOL..Also I can't rearrange the furniture when there are people present. I'm a super introvert so basically, everything I do, I want to do it by myself.

Well I'm lucky in a way as I now live alone. My mother passed away in the summer of 2006 and she was pretty much homebound the last year of her life...but she would be home a lot anyway and frankly her presence drove me daft at times...The apartment I live in is a glorified studio so there was no real "place" to go to, to be alone...so it was like no matter what I was doing, even if it was doing housework and cleaning, I felt she was watching my every move..actually gave me the creeps..LOL I just always seemed to do things faster when I was puttering around alone...Of course I'm not completely alone...I do have my two kitties with me....and yes, they love to help me clean.... :)

I soooo know what you mean. I love to do the videos too, but I will not do them in front of my hubby. I feel stupid about it,.......lol

I so cherish my "alone" time which is very very rare! Yes, there are things I just can't get into when my boyfriend is around. I think we all need a bit of alone time.

My hubby works away from us. He comes home only after few months. So those months that he is away, I have the house all for me and the kids. I sleep alone in our room. I do everything on my own. But when my hubby comes home, I adjust to accommodate him.

I know it sounds boring but I like to do the housework when no one is home...that way no one can get in my way :) Other than that, I like to relax which doesn't happen much with an active 8 1/2 month old daughter.

i think theres one generic answer anyone could answer that they tend to only do when theyre alone but aside from that i prefer to get lost in music.. i turn it up louder than my wife would ever let me while she or my daughter are home haha :) so i put on a playlist of my favorite songs that i never get sick of hearing.. sometimes i even put headphones on just to block out any outside noise but anyways ya then i crank the music and just enjoy the effortless enjoyment of the greatest music to grace my ears.. id do it in front of other people but its not quite so easy as they cant stay quiet for as long as i can listen to music etc.. and if my kids are here obviously i cant listen to music with no distractions! heheh my kids love listening to music too though so we rock to lots of oldies and classic rock :D my daughter loves watching me play guitar hero too lol anywho im done my ramble now

i can throw a party,and do some stuff i can't do with my mom there
