Most women will complain that they do not get to spend enough time with their husband. Most of these women have a family to care for and a husband that works overtime. This situation I can relate to.
However, every now and then I run across a situation that is a little different.
In some cases, the wife is ready for a break. I hear this happening a lot when a couple has a vacation from work at the same time or the husband has been laid off and is staying home. Both partners may be on leave for a week or longer together.
This may be a great chance to head off on a trip. However, if you are stuck in the house together things may not be so great.
In one of Courtney’s previous articles, she discussed how she and her husband were having to learn to live together again after he had been gone for so long.
Once you get used to a certain routine or a way that you carry out your daily activities, having someone extra around can often be a hard adjustment.
This sometimes happens when both partners retire from work. If one of the mates has been retired for a while, it may take some adjusting to get used to both of you being home together.
One partner may sacrifice the things that he or she normally does because of the feel of obligation to the other.
While we do love spending time with one another, long term nonstop time together can be overwhelming. There comes a point when the two people need some space and time to themselves.
The time that two people can spend together before needing personal space varies from individual to individual and from couple to couple. Some couples can put much more together time in than others.
How much nonstop couple time do you think that you could spend with your spouse before you would be crying for some “me” time?
