[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I also wanted to add that DH spends 2 hours on a sport hobby about 2-3 times per week, late in the evenings usually.  So like from 8-10 pm 2-3 times per week.  He ends up getting to bed late, is exhausted the next day, and then falls asleep while playing with DC which DC doesn't like.  But DH refuses to give up this sport.  Even though this counts as personal time, DH wants daily personal time in addition, of about 2 hours per day.[/quote]

Agree.  ANYONE who lives with someone simply won't have two HOURS each DAY by themselves. Adding in a guy who works 70 hours a week? He'd be lucky to get 2 hours per WEEK alone.  My husband is also a law firm partner and once or twice a week he will play basketball or something with guys. All his other time, he's with me and or the kids. I asked him once when his "alone time" is and he looked really surprised. "The shower, when I'm cooking, commuting...."[/quote]

OP here.  My husband just doesn't think like that, he feels he is entitled to his special free time and if he doesn't get it he's ornery.  He does spend a lot of time commuting, and I know he listens to music but maybe he would feel like he got some personal time if he listened to books on tape or learned a language with all his time in the car (2 hours per day).  And no he is not interested in moving closer to the office.  We already discussed that a few years ago and he said absolutely not.[/quote]
