Do you do this?

[popple]

I just miss the days of being able to have cheese and crackers or ice cream for dinner and not feeling bad about it.

I am dying at this.

Oh. I have this de-railing thought too.

Other various side track thoughts include wondering how long I mourned ("Is this hook up too soon?") and if I have the kids meet anyone I date afterward. Yeah, kidS, because this fantasy always involves me having like 3 extra kids that don't exist.

Oh my word! You are in my mind. One of my regrets is that I never lived alone. I went from my parents to years of roommates to living with H. I dream about my little studio by the sea. Luckily, my h is pretty open to my eclectic decor bc he knows it's my passion. It has taken him awhile to open up to it. Honestly, I think he gave up

[Deleted]

Not alone. We don't have kids but we do have a ton of pets (2 dogs, 2 cats) and I day dream about being single without animals. Not having to worry about rushing home after work so someone doesn't mess on the floor. I got married fairly young too and I think it is more of a freedom fantasy for me then anything else. I never got to be adult and single.

[papie]

Sometimes I daydream about living alone and having shared custody. Every other week to myself! I'd want H too the week I have the kids though, I kinda like him. Basically I just dream about alone time. Lots and kids of alone time.

If we did not have kids I could totally be a bi-coastal couple.

i feel this way too. i am super independent and sometimes struggle with someone else needing to know my business.

i love my h's work schedule because i get a ton of time to myself and then he's home for a bit, and it repeats.

and i love my h. i don't want to actually be single, but a break (vacation?) all alone wouldn't hurt.

[lime]

I didn't even read the entire OP or any of the responses, but when I got to the part about decorating the way I wanted to, I start nodding my head.

Totally normal.

[Deleted]

I don't do that, but I do dream about what my life would be like had I followed the path my brother did.

Vastly different (successful like he is or utterly poor and in the gutter, LOL).

No, I go all the way in my fantasies, man. I never lived in Manhattan alone and I really wish I had so that's my #1 fantasy. I live in the West Village. I have fun friends. I go out drinking. I sleep until noon on Saturday, get up, have an omelette and an espresso, go for a walk, spend money on some wrist cuffs or other random shit. My studio apartment is decorated all funky with mismatched furniture I refinished myself. It is also a REAL studio for me on the side since I have all that time to paint (LOL). I have amazing sex with a variety of fun partners. HA.

We share a dream, man. 

I am so creative in my dreams.

[wildfloweragain]

I'm glad this is normal because I feel really guilty about fantasizing about having the closet all to myself, and his clutter/piles gone.

...sent from my Jedi Mind.

[Deleted]

I do this all the time but actually want to make it a reality...my own space, alone time, not answering to anybody *sigh*

[jreeds]

yes. Mostly I just want the bed all to myself and to be able to sleep for 10 hours straight.

I do this. I met DH when I was 19, moved in together at 21, married at 25.

He travels so I know what its like to live alone for short time periods and it is CLEAN! And smells like fall Yankee candles instead of man farts. And no TV so its quiet.

This is the best part of my H's travel schedule! LOL

I hate when he comes back and acts like he owns the place. NO! You forfeited your rights when you left! This is my domain! You do NOT decide what goes on the TV!

We are the same person.

[jlt19]

I mostly just want to be back at college with my current salary. And not going to school really, just living the college life with all of the same people and just a lot more money. And the stamina I had back then. For everything, it was amazing.

[Deleted]

OK. I lied.


I think about sex with other people too.


LOL.

[indianchica]

I'm the opposite in terms of who I wish away. DH and I got married and then got pregnant within a few months (a large part of this based on the fact that he is so much older). So in my fantasies we have lots of leisurely time without kids.

[BaliHai]

I actually daydream a lot about living (as a single gal) with my single BFF. We get along so well we're practically the same person, and she's like my dream roommate, not that I'm even in need of one, lol.

Also, when life gets particularly stressful, I daydream about fleeing completely.

And starfish.

Yes!!!!

[LoveBug]

Yup, I used to do this. Now I am doing it since H and I are separated.

[cc]

I sometimes fantasize about checking into a nice hotel by myself for a weekend and do nothing but read, sit by the beach, and sleep.

[glynn]

YES............

[isabel]

I don't really feel that way, but sometimes I really miss having days to myself. I used to work evenings a lot, so I got to be home alone all morning and early afternoon. That alone time was lovely.

[wowhead]

I don't but it makes me wonder if I have some codependency issues. I get lonely and miss H when he's out of town.

[LeggsBenedict]

the only time I get to live alone is when h goes on extended trips for research.

and the house is still filled with all his junk.

I think some people just enjoy alone time and others don't at all. My H gets so bored and lonely when I'm gone for even a night, especially if he has no one to hang out/go out with. He counts the minutes until I get home (this is not in a possessive manner, he just gets lonely). Meanwhile, if he's not supposed to be home and then plans change I'm like WHAT and secretly get pissed that my plans to watch all the things he doesn't like to watch on TV have been ruined.

[jigsy]

I forgot how awesome getting strange is.

I mean, I guess it could go the other way and I am just fortunate. But yeah, strange, its a good thing.
