[quote=Anonymous]I’m the introvert.  Here are some things that work for us:
- I share my daily schedule with him so that he doesn’t inadvertently mess with it.  It’s not that I can’t be flexible, but it makes me kind of stressed to suddenly add in something that takes hours to complete.  Once we started doing this, he actually got to like having a plan for the day so that everyone could get done everything they needed to.  
-  my schedule does include some alone time for me outside of the house.  I would prefer it to be every day, but an hour every couple of days works as well.  Find that the kids are in bed, but I am still technically responsible for the doesn’t count.  Time that I spend with DH doing stuff for him (listening to his problems, watching his television shows, most sex) doesn’t count.   Time that I spend with DH doing stuff I like (talking about my problems, reading together, playing music) DOES count as alone time.  As kids get older, I can have alone time with them.  I like to cook and go on nature hikes with my eight year old.  
-  every now and again I get a whole work day just to get caught up and think about my work.  
-  I don’t get all hung up about him being late from work because he was talking to someone.  That’s just his personality.  This used to upset me, but I let it go.  [/quote]
