If you live with your partner and they were gone for a few days. What do you do differently when they are away knowing you are totally alone.

For example do you make anything special to eat?, Veg out etc?

I know some people like being alone and some don't so interested in opinions.

I'd have scented candles lit and I'd watch a nice drama on TV. Then I could sleep with my legs on his side of the bed .

When I'm in the house alone I like to put my head phones in and blast music, I don't like doing that people in the house vos I feel self conscious.

Not sure if my food choices would be different, although I wouldn't have to share so I might have more snacks .

My other half always wants a proper dinner dinner so if he wasn’t there I’d have a sandwich for dinner with a cup of tea🤣 and I’d watch real housewives and have a bath with the door open because I have to lock myself in there for peace normally and I’d starfish in bed with another cup of tea 🤣 might even paint my nails as I normally do that when he’s at football as the ‘fumes’ make him feel sick apparently

My husband goes away for months at a time.

The first thing I do when he’s gone is have a big de-clutter of the house and workshops. He likes to save useless things that he will never use while I hate stuff so out it goes.
I read more when he’s away. I read a lot anyway, but when he’s home we often watch tv for an hour or two in the evenings.
I walk around naked and I eat a lot less when I’m alone. I also get more intensive workouts done as I don’t keep getting interrupted.
The downside is not having anyone to spend time with more months on end but I’m a solitary creature and I fend for myself pretty well.

I'm a neat and organised freak, but when my husband is away I tend to rebel ... I might not load the dishwasher for a couple of days or do the vacuuming ... so silly (especially as he doesn't really care about that stuff)!

Edited to add - after reading and agreeing with other posts: I move to the middle of our bed, eat what I want that's not very dinner-like (such as cornflakes), and watch the TV in our bedroom until the wee small hours.

I love being alone!! Something just lovely about your own company 🥰

I go and get a food shop with all my favourite food and snacks - usually spicy as he’s not a fan and probably read a good book without being interrupted!

I’ll clean the house and enjoy it knowing it’s not gonna be wrecked but no candles or anything fancy over here - I can’t tolerate artificial fragrance sends my sinuses into meltdown 😂😂

I love being alone 🤗. I once heard Noel Gallagher say that he was a cat and Liam was a dog. I totally get that, I'm the cat and the rest of my family are dogs - fuss me, fuss me, entertain me !

When the kids were younger I'd try and get them in bed early and set out a little buffet for myself of my fave things, s & v kettle chips, olives, cheese cut in to cubes and round it off with a white magnum 👌, all whilst watching what ever reality show I was in to at the time *bliss*.

If I can get rid of the kids too, I'll usually watch something scary and get on the wine 😆.

I don't have a partner but when my mother was away briefly I:

- used the toilet with the door open 😆
- walked around naked
- left the TV, Alexa etc OFF and relished the silence
- read a book in peace
- ate icecream for dinner

(not all at once)

When my bf isn’t with me I usually change the sheets, try and put a few wash loads on, cook a homemade meal out of the freezer, spend the evening watching random factual videos on YouTube, or something like peep show/Alan partridge. Also scroll through tattle and potentially have a few brandies.

My husband is away for weeks at a time and I love my routine when he’s not here 🤣 I snack less and exercise more for a start. I LOVE my evening to myself once my son is in bed, chill out with a cuppy in bed and some tv, I’m currently rewatching Desperate Housewives. Sometimes I just sit in silence and it’s bliss 🤣 I really used to hate being on my own but now I love it… maybe a bit too much 🤣

Sleep on his side of the bed, get a sneaky takeaway but tell him I just used what was in the fridge 😂
