Just wanted to keep y'all posted :-) H and I had a conversation about balancing time/making priorities and got down to the bottom of what was REALLY bugging us. We were able to come to the agreement that Sunday get togethers aren't always the best choice for leisure activities, that fishing is fine as long as it's not getting in the way of following through with promises.
Also, we've decided that we needed to find something that we can do together throughout the week so that weekend free time could be spent apart and it wouldn't be the end of the world. Our solution? Exercising!
We have a 1.65 mile route in our neighborhood that we jog/run as many nights a week as we can. Our goal is to lose 40 pounds between the two of us. It's made our evenings fun and it gets the endorphins going so that "alone time" is THAT much better (if you know what I mean :-) )
Thanks for your advice and thanks for listening!
Re: UPDATE: Priorities
Way to work it out!
lol. Yes, I can see how it seems that way. This is one of those things about my personality--I'm the type who needs an itemized list of everything, a schedule for every minute of my day. It sometimes gets out of hand and my DH helps keep me in balance.
My down time is spent painting and taking dance classes. Sometimes I enjoy a nice run by myself, too.
