Do you find yourself desiring alone time more as the years go by in order to reflect and recoup?
Oh absolutely! My alone time is very important and precious to me. When I am going through stressful times I like to find calming and relaxing things to do by myself to get back to that happy place.
I am a alone a lot , my sons are in school and it is nice to have time to get things done or to just sit with that cup of coffee .
I cherish my alone time. But I’ve always been this way, I need time to myself to recharge. It hasn’t gotten any more or less of a need as I’ve gotten older. And I like to travel alone. That drives my husband nuts but I was traveling by myself since I was 18.
Definitely. There’s no way I could go out three-four times a week like I used to 20 years ago!
I love being by myself. It doesnt happen too frequently but when it does its wonderful!!
So in answer to your question......Yes! Definately!!

Alone times great sometimes when you need to clear your head or just think about things. So yeah, I like having that time now and then.
Yes - I do! I enjoy my time alone to do what I want to do, when I want to do it, without having to consider anyone else about it. No one interrupts my tv shows, my reading, or anything else I want to do. I think, for me, it’s largely due to having been married or with someone since I was 19 years old - now I’m 59......my former husband was a real chatterbox, aggressive, Type A, etc. etc. I was often seeking quiet when I lived with him.....
I do miss having a man in my life right now; but I do feel that when “the right one” comes along - if ever again - lol
I would like him to keep his place to go home to sometimes.
It may not be practical, but I think it would help the relationship. Too much togetherness can get on one’s nerves. We‘re not all the same of course; and there are women and men who love being together all the time, but I am no longer one of them.
I feel like it’s MY time now...having been married and raised children........
At the moment I am in the last week of six weeks school holidays! I have had virtually no “alone” time during this period...so I am desperate for the kids to go back to school! I am much more contemplative these days. I have had some serious health problems in recent years, and wondered whether I would even see my kids/grandchildren grow up. I am now healthy and appreciate my life so much more - BUT if I don’t get time to reflect, I am not much good to anyone. I would like to live for another 40 years and I want to live with authenticity and tranquility, and continue to make a difference in the community.
AbsoFreakinLutely! I am getting more intolerant of society daily it seems.
