So unfortunately since the pandemic in March we got stuck living with our in-laws because we live out of country and it’s unsafe for us to go back home. So for almost six months we’ve been living with either my parents or his parents and I am honestly having a really hard time with it. We just got married in January so we’re still newlyweds and we have barely got a chance to be alone. I was having a particularly frustrating day and venting to him and asked “does it not bother you we can’t be alone?” and he just says he’s a very adaptable person and that he’s fine because it’s just our circumstances right now and we can’t change it. Okay I get that. But I’ve been suggesting we go away for the weekend or do something alone and he always seems fine with it but not excited. Anyway, cut to yesterday I said we should go camping for a few days alone because it’s cheap and we can get away for a while. He loves camping. He agreed but then this morning he woke up and asked me “are you sure you don’t want your parents coming up with us? What are we going to do when it’s just us alone? It’s gonna be hot and boring.”

This frustrates me because all I want is time alone with my husband so I said that to him and he says “we’re literally together 24/7” which is true but am I wrong for wanting quality alone time without anyone else around? Why does he always seem to want people there? He’s extremely extroverted when we’re around people but whenever we’re alone it’s like he’s bored or doesn’t want to try and make it fun.

Maybe camping is more of a social activity...I don’t know. I just thought it would be a good way to get away for a bit. He’s an absolute sweetie he literally just brought me coffee in bed without me asking and always cuddles me in the morning and makes silly faces and jokes and stuff I just want to know if it’s normal for him to not want to just do stuff together alone. Thoughts? Have you known other men like this?
