Only upset on your behalf, Sox. I guess it's a little bit of that taking on the feelings of the folks around you, we can even do it over the internet! {{Sox}} But I know what you mean; it's entirely possible to be upset with someone, but still love them very, very much.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Sometimes when I'm watching Deadliest Catch I think how great it would be to be in a relationship with one of those guys who is gone for months at a time. Except of course for the maybe not coming home part.

(I've also never lived alone in my entire adult life- I'm still a little bitter about that.)
I'm also a little nervous about the idea of getting married. I've lived alone for about 10 years now and I love it. I would have to have my own space in our home (an office, etc.) with my own TV and when the door is closed, he leaves me alone.

The drifting was the biggest problem around here. If it wasn't for that, we all probably could have gone in to work today.

That's what I do. D is downstairs, with the TV and his netbook, and I am upstairs in the office with my laptop (and streaming Netflix.)
It works out pretty well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not only do Jason and I tend to be in the same room when we are home, the two dogs and two cats tend to be in there as well. I do take a bath most evenings when I get home from work, and that's my alone/destress time.
I am lucky in that being with J is as relaxing as being by myself, which is UNLIKE being with my ex. I do enjoy when J is away, but mostly because it means I can watch all the Criminal Minds I DVR.

This. So very much. I've lived alone for 12 years now (the cat is really quiet and doesn't bother me!). I love it.I love coming home and not having to talk to others if I don't want to. I have friends that I can get together with and talk to so I rarely feel lonely when I want company.

I love the idea of being in another room and watching stuff while Hubby does his own thing, but it turns out Hubby is much more like a puppy than I thought--his ideal world has me less than ten feet away from him at any given time, and he reluctantly acknowledges that this is unworkable. He is a pack creature, and I am his pack.
