I should also add, I like alone time while in the bathroom, not into the buddy system of brushing teeth together getting ready, etc~~ lol..
I don't mind us getting ready in tandem, but we have a master bath with two sinks. As long as nobody's using the toilet, we're cool with using the bathroom at the same time.
You don't sound overly enthusiastic about this relationship. You said it was "soooooo nice having the apartment to yourself" and that you "loved" your alone time when he was gone for 2 hours and wished it could have been longer.
You sound happier being alone so why would you contemplate marriage under those circumstances? It's not fair to him or you. Keep dating for now until you like your time spent with him as much as you like your time without him.
Thanks for your reply, but as the others have stated, you are off the mark. My BF the sweetest and most loving guy that I've ever dated, hands down... AND he's a cutie. However, I have lived alone for 21 years (as I have already stated) and I actually enjoy some solitude from time to time. I'm not with my boyfriend because I dislike (or can't handle) being alone. I'm with him because he compliments my life. Thanks again.
Why did she need to? In intact families parents don't have to do everything together with a child. It's a good thing for dads and sons to bond and have that alone time together, especially in divorce situations and assuming his son doesn't live with him f/t.
Heck, my dad and I would do things together (either a MLB or NHL game) and my mom wasn't included. It wasn't about her.
Good point, Liberty. He's son is a grown man anyway.

I was raised with four siblings , so having the bathroom to one self was pretty much a no go...So yeah I love being in there alone, even with two sinks and a separate toilet with it's own door

That was me, too. I grew up with six people in a house with two bedrooms and one bathroom. I used to get up at 5 a.m. as a high schooler to beat the shower rush.

I'm a guy and I can say this, I definitely need it. Funny thing is that I am an extrovert, but if I am around the same person too long then I need a break every once in a while.
Yes, I like alone time. I especially got used to this as my first husband was gone due to military separation for 4.5 out of the 10 years we were together.
And after having kids, alone time is even more desired and precious, whether it's out running errands, beauty appointments, shopping, or hanging out at the house.
Of course it's okay, normal and natural to enjoy time by yourself. People need to recharge, reflect, and relax. Marriage to the right guy shouldn't preclude it.
If you are concerned, you could simply ask your guy what he thinks. That's good practice for life as a couple.
