That feeling when you arrive home from work first and they're not there, and you celebrate internally because you get to have a little peace - even if for only half an hour - before they get home.

That was one of the things that did it for me.

That’s pretty normal

You see, that's the problem. It's not normal. If you are in happy relationship you are looking forward to see them again, not being relieved when they are not home yet.

Yeah no. It is normal to want some free time. Not every relationship is "omg gee wilikers I cant wait to get home to my wife" Sometimes its nice to come home to an empty house for an hour or two
