I told him I liked having the house to myself, and he made the joke - "yeah cause I bother you all day". But he actually does. I feel like the older I get, the more annoyed by him I become. I really do want to be alone. Like it's my favorite thing to do now. I need more alone time, but I prefer to be home when I'm alone. How do I get him and the kids out of the house more??? I feel like everything I say to him, he gets overly sensitive about.


How exactly is he bothering you, where does he work and where do you work? Is it in the same room? When we were together work from home we each were at our own offices and just never left. Just like when I’m at work.

He is injured, so in this case you need to leave for the day.

I get it, but it seems cruel to be having a fit about alone time when he's home with an injury.

When mine yelling on work calls he’s either snorting snot back up into his nose or mouth-breathing, the latter of which is like living with Darth Vader. But he can’t take allergy medication because he doesn’t like how it makes him feel.

My husband and I worked from home everyday for 5 years. Now he works in person everyday. I LOVE it. I can take leave and he isnt there all up in my bizz. Not that I'm doing anything. I just like having a day to myself. He...on the other hand doesnt need alone time at all.

It might be time to consider divorce. Sounds like neither you or DH are happy together.

Go buy a shed and convert it into an office, OP.

Go out for a walk. A long one. It’ll do you and your family a favor.

I get it, OP. I think menopause is partly to blame. I'm so irritated by everything all the time.

Go to the library to work?
During lunch break, enjoy some private husband-wife.. activities… with no kids around.
