How Do You Give Private Time To Your Spouse

I doubt OP would be wasting/spending time in IL if wife was using euphemistic speech. : )

My guess is that the OP's wife is asking for more time when they can talk or be mildly romantic or just be together in private.

 

Maybe you both view your not-at-work time differently. You are "giving" her the private time she "needs." She perhaps thinks she has first dibs on your not-work time and others should form a line.

I am reminded of a long ago time.. the kids were young... I felt we needed more of Mr's time in the evenings and that he should spend less time on the work laptop. His response, "I make the time for kids, I do this with them, I do that.. only then I spend time on office stuff." My response was: "You day belongs with work. Your evening belongs with us. Make time for work as needed. Don't make time for us as needed."

I doubt you'll get what I mean above. It's from Venus. : )
