[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH used to complain about this. It was during his midlife crisis, depressed years. It did pass by age 47. I used to travel for work for 2-3 days at a time every month or so, but kid was still home with him. He literally wanted me to concoct personal travel with son in the summer and weekends (on top of my 60 day a week, seven figure job) so he could have alone time in the house. It was irrational and I’m glad it passed. He was definitely having a depressed, down spell for a few years around age 45[/quote]

With a 7 figure income it seems like it would be way easier to have a bigger house with a finished basement and say one day a month hire a babysitter to deal with the kids and give him a day alone.[/quote]

He got days home alone all the time. We both wfh, so if I was work traveling, he was home all day by himself. And I would often take ds out for a a few hours on Saturday and leave dh home by himself. And I had a moderate social life back the (we were new to the area) so probably went out once a month and left him home alone. But dh literally wanted like a full week, including weekend, where we weren’t there so he could be alone. It was totally irrational, and that’s why I say it was depression related and honestly it wasn’t a reasonable request. Fast forward five years and just to use an example, we’re currently renovated our home and staying in a family condo for six months to that’s only two bedrooms (but free! Saving us $6000 a month!) and everything is great, no problems from dh despite us being completely on top of each other. It was really a mental thing that wouldn’t have been solved by a basement.
