Do you look forward to your partner going away?

PermaChanged · 1 Apr 2014 at 13:11

My partner is away next weekend on a hen do in London, and I'm (perhaps oddly) looking forward to it! Lots of pizza to be eaten, lounging around to be done and being a general slob for a weekend! Might be slightly productive and give the car a wash weather depending.

Do you enjoy the peace and quiet afforded by your partner being away for a weekend?

No, on the contrary I hate it when I'm away from her for more than a day or so.

Sometimes? Sure.

All the time? Nope.

This it's nice to have down time. But my home feels empty without my wife and kid, even if she is only there so I can annoy her

Single now but ...

The odd day/night apart is healthy. Do your own thing etc. Time to play xbox in your underpants and a beer helmet with a two 12" pizzas so no need to cook.

Hell yeah, it's great when the wife goes away. I can as much beer as I want, eat whatever crap I want, watch what I want on TV, play games all day... She doesn't do it often enough as far as I'm concerned!

I live alone & have done for nigh on 20 years, It's not by accident.

I don't generally no - I don't look forward to it. Do I make the best of it when she does go away? Not really, I just feel less guilty for spending time on the computer, or coming home from the gym late, but I enjoy having the company and enjoy chatting to her about my day and/or stuff. It's also more pleasant dining together.

Sometimes as it’s good to have a little space to yourself and you get to appreciate them even more when they come back. It works both ways.

I don't have a partner

Dyson · 1 Apr 2014 at 13:25

It's such a rarity that I do enjoy it, I must confess. I wouldn't say I looked forward to it as such, but I do enjoy just chilling out once the Kids are to bed, with the telly off and just doing nothing.

Neither do I... want to hug about it?

randomshenans · 1 Apr 2014 at 13:26

Sometimes. Others I will go to speak to her and realise I'm sat on my own and be like oh...

elmuzzy66. · 1 Apr 2014 at 13:27

Sometimes but if it was all the time i would be single.
