This week we have a newlywed woman whos desperate to get some time to herself.
Is there a way for her to ask her husband to leave her alone?
Will her husband finally let her get her game on in peace?
Some people have problems that require delicate advice from a qualified professional.
Welcome back to Tough Love.
Note: Im not a therapist or health professional of any kind.
People ask for my advice and I give it to them.
If you have a problem with it, feel free tofile a formal complaint here.
Now that thats out of the way, lets get on with it:
Hey Patrick!
This left me with no alone time.
What do I do?
Having alone time is important.
Sharing a single room is tough since it basically makes it impossible to do your own thing.

), he should probably work more.
He stops playing the games you like out of boredom, and doesnt wait to playhisgames with you.
And you know what, thats fine!
You dont need to play games together.
In fact, youre probably better off not playing together in this situation.
You need time to yourself to do whatever it is you want to do.
For starters, urge him to spend time with his friends, in person.
If he doesnt have any, he should get some.
Its unhealthy,both for your relationship and for him.
The same goes for you.
Go hang out with some friends or get some.
For the love of all that is holy,go spend time with other peopleboth of you!
The other part of the problem is your schedule, or lack thereof.
you better define things for each other and make boundaries.
So, you should establish a schedule of some kind.
And be sure to make plans together, too.
But these date plans shouldnt be all on you.
