Awe.... alone time....I know exactly what you mean. I love having alone time, it can even happen when your together in the same room. I watch my grandparents, who have an excellent relationship, and i've notice when they clearly are having an unanounced alone time. They just do something private, like reading or writting or playing on the computer, or gardening or something. One minute i'll be hearing them talk and sometimes even talking with them, and the next minute the've gone into alone time mode. I'm always shocked and wondering 'what's going on?' or 'what just happened?'. It's like i'm a biologist studing a forein culture is how i'd describe it. Perplexing and all the same natural....
....but i do have to admit i miss cuddling with that special someone, i've got all the alone time i can handle right now, and I would love to be able to share my time again. sigh.
