Perna-

I know, you are right. The bottom line is I just have a hard time being by myself. Most nights we are "together", as you say, even if he is downstairs and I am upstairs. I guess it's just that during those times or when he is away at band practice, I don't know what to do with myself. I don't feel that he's neglecting me, but perhaps that I'm neglecting myself. I always want to "plan" things or "do" things and I'm not sure of how to occupy time when I don't have distractions such as other people around me. But I am working on it- doing crafts, journaling, reading, house projects, etc. It's just that it as a time right now for me where these normal days/nights when we're apart, and I start to get anxious and think that there must be something wrong with that if we are not together. I don't know it sounds dumb when I say that. But thanks for the advice and I will look into that book. Take care!
