That's why I do a lot of client work on weekend mornings when H is still sleeping in or if he's out with friends, I'll occasionally stay home. I think it's totally natural to want to be your significant other when you are both home. :) I always feel like that too!

Why do you when the role is reversed? Or why does he when the situation is yours...if indeed he does? ("I know he hates it when I spend the entire evening in front of the computer, leaving him to entertain himself with the DVR.") You cannot be responsible for the happiness of another, Karen. Only your own. Time spent fulfilling yourself, even if it is alone time, does not dilute your relationship. It feeds it. Be careful of that trap. It's one I was in for many years and it sucks life out of you. You are a writer. You have to write. When Ryan is at the gym or jiu jitsu, does he feel guilty he is not with you?

I try to get up when he does every day and work while he is at work so we can have our evenings together. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - I just get on a roll at night. Luckily (I feel guilt for saying that too!) he travels for work often, so when he is gone I work late into the night, I can't help it! I’m a night owl too and my husband works a 9-5 job.
