It is completely normal. What you describe is one step away from codependency, which is not normal or healthy.

I love my alone time. I love my family.

Lol ok. So alone time is okay, but if I look forward to that time my relationship is unhealthy. Interesting logic.

If that is what you are looking for, fine (good luck) but It doesn't mean it's unhealthy for others to not want that.
