you just have to find a way to carve that out. maybe when he is at work find a way to be really mindful of that time away from him and enjoy it, even if you are doing something else. if your free hours are together take some time to yourself by taking a bath or going into the bedroom to read or do some puzzles. just tell him you need and hour or so to yourself.
I agree with Kaliope. Her advice is very good.

Ever since my husband retired it's hard for me to get any alone time. I work all day so when I get home i need some peace and quiet. After about 5 years, he's getting the hang of letting just be for a while.
