[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH always want to go out with me regardless. He always wants to know when I arrive or when I leave. If you try to exclude him, he will be upset or make me feel guilty about leaving him behind. He said I am worry about you. I just want to know you arrive safely. I appreciated his love but I'm tired with this and try and hint that I/people need personal time but he doesn't get this. 
Is this normal to other couples? How do I talk it through without making him upset? [/quote]

My DH and I spend a lot of time together. We both have office jobs and have e-mail chat up throughout the day, so I can see when he gets to work (he logins in to e-mail) and when he is active or not. We both will let each other know when we are headed home, during the work week. During the weekend, I would let him know if I was headed out to do something. Often he will want to come along, but there are plenty of times when I run errands alone or he will run errands alone. That being said, I am always pretty sure where he is.

I think it is reasonable to ask for some personal time. Have you tried being direct with him and saying something like, "I really need some quiet time to decompress. I am going to go do XYZ for the afternoon, but I will be home by 5 and I would really enjoy going out to dinner with you when I get back." Everyone needs time to themselves. Just be honest. [/quote]
