Men Who Are Married Are Revealing Their “Top-Secret” Habits They Do When They Are Home Alone

“I can read or watch whatever I want without feeling guilty about not talking, I can eat whatever I want without having to consider what she’s in the mood for, I can work on projects on my own time, or I can just play video games for hours on end! Or, I could watch movies or TV shows that I haven’t finished or started yet, which I don’t usually do if I know she’s not gonna be into it. And, of course, I might have to run errands, but I can do it on my own time in SILENCE. It’s very important to me to have someone who respects that I NEED space every once in a while, and she does. In fact, I worry about people who CAN’T be away from their partner for long, if at all. 

The best advice I can give is to make sure you’re with someone who respects when you need personal space or isn’t worried about leaving you alone for a few days. In my opinion, it’s unhealthy otherwise. I’ve been in relationships before where I can’t even go home for the holidays without being accused of cheating while I’m away! What kind of crap is that? (Not discrediting people who have actually been cheated on a bunch, but if you’re worried your partner is out cheating, maybe you should get a new one. Just saying.) And for when she gets back, I’ll usually get some steaks a few days ahead of time so we have something to cook easily, and she’ll love coming home to that.”
