DH is an introvert.  From day 1 he's always made it known when he needs space.   I was probably more like your DH.  At first , my feelings were hurt. But I was smart enough to know that it was my own insecurities making me feel hurt.  DH still needs alone time.  He's completely respectful about it (i.e doesn't come home and ignore the family for hours on end, nor does he expect alone time every day) and he's 100% present when he's with us.  He also ensures I get time to myself, even if I don't have that same "need".

Communication is important in marriage.  It doesn't sound.like you have very good communication if you're unable to say "DH, I just need a little bit of quiet time because ive had a long day.  I'm going to go read/watch TV in the bedroom/take a walk".  You can also have a discussion with him about being an introvert and needing time alone to clear your head.  I don't know, it just seems off that 1. You are having trouble communicating a fairly simple need to your husband and 2. That he's never cared to notice that you're an introvert[/quote]
