I have almost the exact opposite situation…. I’m not complaining really, but I would love to have to have some quiet time, just for a while…..so I can get my head into some books, and learning.

Social life is a no-no, hobbies and Linux time restricted until about 9pm when bed time is reached, and toys cleared up.

I have five kids (and one on the way), all running about and shouting most of the time… it’s noisy, expensive, fun and chaotically brilliant, but I wish there was space for some “me” time.

Want to swap for a week? Hehe…

@Andrew It’s probably the same problem. I’m not wanting for friends or events, there is usually something to do or someone to hang out with if I want to. Going out to things with people actually sometimes makes me feel worse because I then have to go home alone…

What I miss is the companionship of a partner, having someone there to snuggle up with and talk to after a long (or short! or any!) day.

I live with two other guys. One of them often has his Girlfirend round. We all had dinner last night on the grill outside. After that everyone disaperared to their respective bedrooms, and I’m left thinking weather I would have felt less alone if they hadent all been there in the first place. I’m wondering if we have the opposite problem or its the same thing.
