Does your husband complain about time for "me"

I've been married for 4 years but with husband for 12. I love him with all my heart. But honestly he tends to be in my opinion a bit needy. My children are grown and have all started lives of their, which left me with a empty part of my life. Work was a outlet, but losing that because of medical issues left me with even more idle time. I submersed myself into crafting, painting and writing. It turned out to be great for me until that is the hubby has a day off. Being a planner I have the next day planned before I fall asleep the night before, regardless of wether he is home. He tends to get very jealous that I don't spend every minute paying attention to him on his days off. Don't get me wrong, he is not controlling, he thinks because I don't work outside the home and the kids are grown, I should devote my time on his days off to him. I do stop whatever I am doing at night to spend with him, it's the days off he has that is the problem. I hear "what about me" or "I deserve a little time too". Anyone else have the same issue?

I think you should give your husband the attention he want , men are sometimes like that and want to be treated like a baby lol . No body is perfect so give him the little he ask for , I will do anything necessary for my bf and he will do anything necessary for me . Its just the both of you now so make time .

Oh yes! My husband would complain about it too sometimes. I think they would just want some time to cuddle during those days that they need to be home.

I do sometimes but we have 3 small children so it is not very often. If I were you and I knew he had a day off I would prepare ahead of time. Ask him if he wanted to sit aside a specific amount of time to spend together just being together or doing something. I would also try to include him in what you are doing. Sounds as if he is lost on his own and does not have any hobbies.

i understand you^^ but i guess that during the week you spend a lot of time alone while your hubby is working right? so maybe on his days off you could go out with him and have a special time together^^ its important so your marriage will continue to be happy^^ i think that he just wants your attention in his day off cause other
days he is working and dont spend much time with you. be happy bcs its better to
have a hubby that calls for attention than one that is always hanging out with his friends and forget about you ^^ just try to spend his day off with him ^^ during week you can be busy with your own things while he works^^

Maybe try finding out ahead of time when his days off are and maybe you could do something together. It's good you make time for him at night but maybe he'd like to have a day with you every once in a while. It may seem a little needy on his part that he always asks about "me time" but take it as a compliment that on his days off, he wants to spend his time with you :)
I'm not saying devote all your time on his day off, but do plan on doing something with him, even if it's something simple. Maybe that way he'd stop complaining so much about having time together on his days off.
