Hello ladies,
Let me give you all a brief bg about me. I have been married to my DH for 7 years and we dated for almost a year. Since we got into a relationship we were always together. We worked at the same place for almost 6 years. (We were in the same company.) I now work at a different company but our offices are just a block away.
As I mentioned, we are always together. My DH or me wouldn’t step out of the house without each other. I have even mentioned it in one of the old threads – even to take out the trash I should go with my DH to the patio. But this time when I was going to India for a vacation my DH couldn’t join me due to his work commitments. Initially I was excited thinking I would have some alone time with my mom n dad. I would be able to enjoy with my cousins and relatives – uninterrupted fun! But then as the travel date came closer my excitement started to go down. I started to find out reasons to avoid my travel. But failed. Then on the day of travel I was so upset. I cried my eyes out at the airport and in the flight. Phew! My DH was also very sad and I could see him chocking and trying to avoid tears and cheer me up.
All our friends said to us – “enjoy your time alone”, “have fun, this is the best time” “ oh u r back to being single for 3 weeks” and etc etc I never felt it that way. In fact I like doing things with my DH. I like being with him. This having fun alone never worked for me or my DH. We both always want each other. We are so dependent on each other.
I have seen in almost 90% of other couples they need sometime off from each other. My question is (out of curiosity) – how many of you feel to take time off as necessary? And y; what do you do without him? and how many of you are like me?
Rgds,
DS
