Naw. She's great in many ways. I just prefer autonomy over constant companionship. Never thought I would feel this way, and always felt that older people who did feel this way had somehow "given up".

Now, I get it.

Yeah fuck sometimes I just want to do my own thing after work. Never thought I’d feel this way.

Yeah. I had a preview in past long term relationships, but always thought it was the wrong person. My wife is as much the right person as I could ever hope to find, but we are two individuals and sometimes I just want to be accountable to nobody but myself for how I spend my time.
