Do you look forward to your partner going away?

I was just thinking this. My other half enjoys gaming just as much as I do and so having a night on the PS3 is not uncommon. Granted I don't browse the forums/internet anywhere near as much when shes around but I'm hardly restricted at the same time.

If you look forward to it, perhaps you'd be better off single.
I'm looking forward to one off weekend alone in our long term relationship, but you think I'd be better off alone

When I allow her from the Kitchen or Bedroom she's alright for a foot stool.
Apart from that, she spends most of her time in the cupboard under the stairs.

Wife is away for a week in April in the UK. I'll get bored. The only benefit will be not being sighed at if I pick a crap film to watch really. I won't do anything differently to when she's here.

The odd night or two here and there is fine and I do sometimes look forward to it a bit if I fancy gaming for a bit or something, more than that though and it's not so fun.

I enjoy an evening or two a week by myself I must admit, only so much trash I can endure!
Don't like the idea of her going away (not in a controlling way).

Are the people excited about the thought of eating pizza and having a few beers not 'allowed' to do this when the eyes of the misses are on them? lol. Or is it just a case of you can be a super slob and enjoy your own space for a while? If the first one, then I just don't understand at all. If the second I can understand ever so slightly as everyone enjoys a little bit of alone time every now and again.
As for me - I don't really like it. I get time to myself when she does night shifts and weekend shifts, which is more than enough for me. I have a much better time when we're together at other times.

Single at the minute, but it's great when my two housemates go away me and the dog crack open some beers watch what I think is great tv although they disagree and eat some takeaway in peace and quiet.
I also normally end up gutting the house from top to bottom because I quite enjoy doing it while the house is empty so it's not like I spend all the time dossing in my pants.
Love it.

I don't look forward to time apart. It hardly happens, however when it does, I just get bored very quickly.
That sentence is genius!

All these people getting 'bored' when partners go away. So their only around for your light entertainment!?

I enjoy it on the rare occasions it happens. When we're together I can still play games and what not, but when it comes to films and TV we tend to watch stuff we both enjoy. When I'm on my own I can watch whatever crap I want without worrying about whether she'll enjoy it or not. I can also stay up till all hours and not worry about waking her when I go to bed. That's a good bonus right there as I'm very much a night person while she enjoys her early nights and long sleeps.
