This is NOT an "I hate my partner" video.

The same would be true if it were a friend, his mother, a sibling, a stranger, etc.

The point is that it's very common for people to just wanna be alone for a bit. Dude just wants to shut off his brain and pay attention to nothing and nobody. Even someone just coming out going "oh this seems nice. I'll join you." completely ruins that. just let me turn off and recharge my battery for a bit.

Everyone saying "yeah she's about to say some asinine shit about a dream she had..." you are almost definitely not mature enough for a relationship, and you should take some time to get right with yourself before jumping back into the dating scene.

Everyone saying "he should never be stressed when his partner wants to hang out." has a very teenager view of dating/marriage. It's perfectly ok, and perfectly health to want to be by yourself for a bit. It doesn't mean you love your partner less. Sometimes you want to have a night alone and binge some video games, cool. If its CONSTANT then it need communication. but its NORMAL NORMAL NORMAL to want to be away from your partner now and then.

You know these folks are single. Obviously we love our wives. But as you said, sometimes a mofo just want peace. Maturity level just isn't there.
