I'm 30 years old, and I'll admit I hate being alone. Overnight is not too bad, but my wife and 2.5yr old daughter left at 4am to go to Syracuse, NY till next Tuesday. Sure I like some peace and quiet, but I love my family. This will be the longest that my wife and I have been apart since her grandmother died. That was about two months into our relationship (we'll have been married 8 years in July and have been together for 12 years in Sept). We were also in college back then so I had plenty of other things going on all the time.

Having facetime on our iphones does help a lot. It's really nice to be able and see and interact with my daughter.

Titty bar?

No thanks. I've been a few times and just don't see all the hype. $7/beers, nasty strippers, filthy people

I enjoy it for a while. I get a lot done without other people underfoot. Still,I do understand.

I like it sometimes. I'm not alone very often though, so I guess I might feel differently if it were a more regular occurrence.

Being alone and being comfortable with it are good things, Ratz. Embrace this time you have right now to learn something about yourself. It's Ok to miss them. It's also important for one to be comfy with one's self too. It also makes you appreciate them even more.

My CUZZINS!!

I like it occasionally for a week or so ... I'm able to sort my mind out, accomplish things that I can't when the fam is all around. I get half days frequently but several days in a row is a cleansing of my mind!

Go fishin', Brutha!!! Just go fishin'!!!!

sleepover at chickenman's house?

I like being alone

I have been divorced for 21 years. I got used to being alone, well some things I miss.

THIS^^^^^^ I love when my wife and kids go to inlaws.

i am never alone at home, i would love to try a few days of it

I used to really enjoy being alone. Now I don't mind it for a day or so, but I really miss my 21-month old daughter bad if I go very long without seeing her.

I had to travel a bunch this past year working on a new project, and it was always bad being gone. I usually left on Monday and came home Friday. The worst part is that you don't get paid any extra, and when you get home on the weekend, fishing/golfing is obviously out of the question because I hadn't seen my family all week. I enjoy my job, but I really didn't like all the traveling. I would've loved it before my daughter came along. Unfortunately, the travel began right after she was born. I feel your pain man!

You're just a people person.

Ride man, Ride. I get on two wheels when I get that feeling.

Oh man. I love my family too but I love my alone time. I believe we all need it. Goos for the soul to get that time to ourselves. In fact I could use some right now.

Same here. I have not been to one in YEARS. There is something unappealing about watching them have to spray and wipe down the pole after the other girl... what does she know we don't

Buy a dog.

two nights alone is perfect, by the time the third rolls around, I'm very bored and and miss the family

after workin all week, i'd love to run my boat all the back into caballo canyon by myself and worship the lake gods

i haven't had a moments peace and quiet in 12 years.

I thought you had a dog....

If you have a good dog, you are never alone.
