Have you ever read Kabul Gibran’s “ The Prophet?”
It’s an invaluable little book that I’ve had for many years. It serves as a wonderful, sensible guide for living a peaceful life.
When Gibran speaks on marriage, he discusses the need for one’s own space in a beautiful way which my husband and I have subscribed to throughout our 44 years together!
My husband and I also have different hobbies and we respect our differences and need for doing our own thing.
I am not the same person I once was. None of us are.
Diagnosed later in my years, I am still trying to learn myself, I cannot expect anybody else to. I try to be patient when my Mother tries to figure out how and why this happened to me, when my husband sees me struggling and does not intervene nor offer to do so, when others do not accept my offers to help with ANYTHING because I am too slow. What once was hurtful is now something I have learned not to get to me nor make me angry or sad. I basically go into another room and fade into the walls. I am starting to like it there!

Boy you hit that one on the head

Everybody needs time alone

Tell them u need time alone!!

I know that feeling, what I do is just politely and honestly tell them I need to be alone for a bit . At first it comes as a shock they thought they’ve done something wrong or are angry but then it becomes the norm . Give it a try .good luck 🙂
