...she's gone away for the week and I suddenly realise that I've got nothing to do. I can play through the glut of PC games I picked up in the Christmas sales or rediscover the old console classics from hooking up my PS2 or Gamecube to our new TV, but I don't want to. I can head out to footie/pub with my mates, but physical exercise sucks, none of them are as entertaining as my Monster (pet name) and every penny I spend will carry the weight of being better spent on a mortgage deposit or really nice crockery - probably from Denby, knowing our tastes.
I've gone from a self-assured geek of the highest order, most comfortable in my own company than any misanthropised group of box-ticking subsects to someone who finds himself with nothing to do without the missus present.
On to the meat of the thread: Have you found yourself in a surprisingly adult relationship? Do you still relish your time apart, and how? Because you'e read this far, why/why not? Are you ok with giving up something you love for the sake of a relationship - not in an heroic, self-sacrificing way, but in a way that means what's important to you suddenly shifts?
