The Beauty of Simple Living
Wondering if you should upsize your home? Sometimes upsizing is a true need, not a simple want.
My husband and I recently purchased a new home. We loved our cozy former home, but finally resigned ourselves to the fact that it just wasn't working for our large family.
I managed to avoid Covid-19 for years. In fact, I was proud of myself for taking precautionary measures, for getting myself vaccinated, for only going out when I needed to , and always wearing a mask. Not to mention the gallons of hand sanitizer I used whenever I touched basically anything out in public. I got complacent, after staying healthy for so long, and I firmly believed I was one of the lucky ones, who had likely been exposed, but remained asymptomatic. I was wrong!
I need alone time a lot more than my husband does. My husband and I have had this same controversy for our entire 14 years together. After doing some research (and talking with other couples), it turns out this is a common problem. Everyone needs alone time, but often in a marriage, one person needs more of it than the other. This can lead to insecurity and resentment, if not communicated well.
