        I told some of my single friends I needed some alone time, and my wife joined me. And they said, “I thought you needed alone time”.

        And I didn’t know how to explain that to them.

        My partner will sit and read quietly in the room while I’m playing games and not interact with each other and it’s the fucking best.

          Same but with check-ins every 15-30 minutes. Usually a “whatcha doin” or a surprise hug or kiss.
