    Hi ILs,

    My DH is a average person with abnormal mood fluctuations (I have not found any solution yet for this).
    If my DH call me from office and tells me that he will be late today, I become very happy deep inside.
    If my DH says he needs to go out of town for a day or two , I become happy but I show him that I am going to miss him.
    I know this behavior of mine is not correct.
    What is wrong with me ?
    During my DH's absence , I don't do anything that I feel ashamed of. I live a simple honest life.
    Then why is it so ?

    My DH is very moody and many times he is unhappy (sometimes because of work, traffic or any other small/big reason). He is of sadistic kinds. Is that the reason that I do not enjoy his company so much and prefers being alone instead ?

    What is the solution ?

    There is nothing wrong in the way you feel .It doesnot make you feel bad .Just like me and my DH sometimes we need a little space to breathe from each other .My DH is also like that .Keeps whining all the time and me any my MIL are like shock absorbers to him .He complaints and makes us worried and then sleeps like a baby and wake next day all cheered up .Over the years I have learned to over come it and I am the happy go lucky person .It always happens with couples iif you spread positive enerygy it spreads around and if you spread negative that gets spread too .

    I think there is nothing wrong with you. When DH is not there, you have your own girl time which you miss I think. I am guessing you don't have kids yet. Else you will be busy with them

    Nothing wrong with you. I feel you enjoy your "alone time" so it is a natural feeling.

    I think it is a completely natural feeling. It only happens in movies that people want to be inseparable every single second. I too enjoy time with myself when I read books,listen to music or just be alone with my thoughts.

    You feel that way because you like to have your own space sometimes.... Being alone for sometime can be therapeutic. Don't worry about it.

    First off all, there is nothing wrong with you.

    But there might be some problems with your relationship. Probably his irrational mood swings and behaviors are affecting you in a subconscious level and you are just happy to be away him from as long as you can. You pretending that you miss him is not going to help either of you. But anyway, be the good person that you are.

    If you can get, please read some relationship books by DR. Laura Schlessinger and Dr John Gottman. They helped me a lot in correcting lots of mistakes in my life.

    Ask DH if he also feels relieved and happy when he's going to be late or out of town. If he says yes, problem solved.

    some have called this your "me time." No. "me time" is when you are happy with time spent together and want to spend some time just by yourself. "me time" is the icing on the cake of enjoyable "us time." Cake is more important than icing.

    Thanks ILs .
    I do agree with most of you except Rihana.
    I think I sometimes need some space and when I get it I am happy.

    As many said they too feel the same, add me in that list. I am married for 6 years now, I used to long to be with my DH before as he used to be busy. But now similar to Snehal, he is become very very moody and I get irritated to see him. Always talking about office topics and always pointing negatively to my comments or any topic I bring up, getting angry on simple things and showing off like always he is right.
    So whenever he says he is going out with friends or coming home late. I feel happy and enjoy my time with my DS.
    I know this is not a sign of healthy relationship, but all my trials of fixing it has failed. and i m fedup with his standard statement " I am like this only, I will not change"
    SO i guess i enjoy my time being far from him.
