I can't imagine wanting to spend every moment with my SO and do everything together, but to each his/her own.
In our situation, that he doesn't have "his own physical space to retreat to" doesn't mean, by any stretch, that we spend every moment together, or do everything together.

Same. As I said earlier, the "man cave" concept seems to work better in the suburbs. And for those who fall for marketing terms. I've always lived in cities where real estate prices dictate how much togetherness a couple has at home.
Do you have any issue with a man or specifically a man you are in a relationship with having a "man cave". A room/garage where all his electronics and such are and where he goes when he wants some me time?
My grandfather had his work shed. Him and his wife were married for over 50 years. Sometimes you just need some time apart from each other to do things fulfilling to you and give each other some space.
I strongly believe that people in committed relationships should have their own space from time to time. That being said, I find the term "man cave" to be obnoxiously juvenile. It reminds me of "He-Man Woman-Haters Club" or something, and I say that as a man-- I can only imagine how obnoxious it must sound to a woman. Feel free to have your own room, but don't give it a stupid corny name.
Where do you think sea duck hunting occurs, if not along the coasts?
Sea duck hunting has increased in popularity over the last couple of decades, that, along with low recruitment, is why the bag limits have been decreased. Heck, a couple of years ago we completely closed the season on harlequin ducks.
I've never seen anyone hunt sea ducks in California. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've just never heard or seen it.
My husband has one of the bedrooms in our house for his man cave. Which is fine. He keeps the cat box and food in there so he cleans it every day. Sometimes I get aggravated when it gets messy, soda cans, snack wrappers all over the place, etc.
He also has the garage which is his workshop. We have a couple of freezers out there but mostly it is his stuff. We are renovating so he needs the space for his saws, etc.
It is ok with me. I have a chair in our bedroom I can get away from it all. And in the summer I will probably be at the pool with an adult beverage and my earphones playing music.
Gave me the idea to buy DC and Marvel comic posters for the boys game room, and a Deadpool pillow.
My husband will lose his mind with happiness. And by picking them out I made sure I chose a black and white motif with red accents. Win-win
Nerd.
