I am alone and responsible.

[ksmybuttons]

I am home alone. This is the longest I have been alone since I have been married. I lived for ten years alone before that and never gave it a second thought. I can't believe the things that have been going through my mind.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Like what?

 

[Randy4u]

Please tell us more.

Being the one that makes sure the house is locked up.

Walking around the house naked.

Wondering if I am safe...and fantasizing that I am not.

Random things.

 

[Tyrael]

Heh

"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

I think so Brain, but what if the rhino doesn't want to wear the tutu?

hey buttons, what's that nike slogan? "Just Do It?"

Revise it to "Just Do it and tell us all about it!" We're all now picturing you in various states of nakedness with vegetables, sex toys posing in front of a mini-cam.

I don't really worry much about safety when he is around. He comes and goes and doesn't keep much of a routine so, after the basics, I always feel safe.

I don't feel as safe when he is not here.

I have spooked myself a couple of times already...

I have a friend who feels the same way whenever her husband has to go out of town. She's neverous beyond consolation, and one of our circle usually spends the night over at her place. All to do with an attempted break in years ago that terrified her (when she was single).

Turn on the TV. It's great to have in the background. Something peppy, like Comedy Central.

And pay no attention to the fact that I'm writing this to your from your upstairs terminal right now...

 

[Mike Hammer]

Of course you're not safe. What was your street address again?

 

[ksmybuttons]

One of the joys of being alone is not having the tv on. It is different being alone now, I am use to having someone know where I am. I like having someone to snuggle with at night. I never really noticed it before.

More reasons to share life with another.

 

[Tyrael]

I don't get it.

I liked it when I had some time alone from my significant other. We all need some time to unwind by ourselves and get rid of the pent up anger you get from your other. Don't tell me there is none because SO can do stupid stuff and piss you off just like anyone else.

The away time lets you have a safe area to rant and rave and vent without destroying the relationship.

Thought about getting a dog or two to watch the house while he's gone?

 

[ksmybuttons]

I have time alone every day. This has nothing to do with alone time. It's different. It's knowing that no one else will be around. That it is just me. I have lived with my husband for 14 years. I have gone away for the week end without him, but he has never left without me.

We sometimes go for a few days with only sleeping together at night and saying good bye in the morning.

This is just new. This feeling and this being alone.

I understand, I travel alot, am away from home for weeks at a time. My wife used to hate it, but she's learned to accept it and I think actually enjoys the freedom!

How do you feel about being gone?

I sympathize with you. I am alone for a week...last night was the first night. Me on the other hand am enjoying the hell out of it. Stereo on at 3 AM...take a bubble bath at 4 AM...no worries about waking someone while I hammering on my keyboard to all hours of the morning. No one to cook for. No one to pick up after. No one to ask me... “why are you listening to that cd again?” I will admit ... I did spook myself several times last night. Probably why I only got 3 hours of sleep.

Maybe it's because you've been married so long but the thought that I wouldn't be able to exist properly without someone around me is terrifying.

When I moved to college that time I loved not having to wait my turn for the bathroom, playing the who gets to hold the remote game that night and the like.

Are you assuming that I cannot exist "properly" without someone around?

I hope I did not give that impression. I am enjoying myself. I chose to be alone this week. I had the opportunity to go along and I wanted this time. It is just not what I expected. The feelings crept up and they surprised me. I find it different.

Well maybe I read it wrong. I read how you were getting spooked and assumed you were afraid to be alone.

Glad that's cleared up.

you lucky woman....damn....
