Search Results: boyfriend needs alone time

its only when im at home and I tell him im going to go to bed already but really I just plan to watch movies, eat, listen to music, stare blankly at the wall with my dog, and do nonsense things around my place. when we're both still awake we always talk- wether through texting or calling. except when either of us have to do something and give each other the time we need. although I love him and very much enjoy talking to him, the need for plenty of alone time is my necessity. somehow I can't tell him the truth- that I dont want to talk because I need to be alone to waste time. its been happening for quite a while now. sometimes I think he'd suspect saying I've slept for too long or something. its the only time I lie, since im a night owl and he sometimes thinks I sleep early. is this so horrible?
