We have a small townhouse with only three bedrooms and a small living room, and the rest. One of the bedrooms is my husband's "office" which is totally his territory. The spare room is unofficially mine, but I never do anything there except iron clothes. Our main bedroom is sort of my place. With hubby working from home, I sometimes close the door.

She does sometimes, but it's not a life necessity to her like it is to me. She's okay with having some alone time occasionally, whereas I really need to have my own room where I can be alone, or I will go crazy within a day. Even spending an afternoon at a relative's house is nearly too much for me because I can't get away from all the people. For me, having enough alone time is crucial to my stability. Unfortunately it's also one of the hardest things to maintain with kids around. My wife says it would be best for my mental health if I had my own apartment, and I think that's true but it's obviously not possible given that I don't want to abandon my kids.
