If my wife asks me why I moved my work location to my "man cave" and am spending my time back there, how should I answer this?
In addition to the obvious (to us here) of being less available, some honest reasons would be:
1) getting used to my new life as a single person
2) working without distraction (since she usually has the TV on in the living room making it harder to concentrate)
She's already established (around the BD) that her time and location should no longer be my concern. Case in point is when she stopped sharing her phone GPS location with me and insisted that I shouldn't have a way to track her.
I know I have the same right to withdraw and do what I want but am not sure how to express it correctly without it sounding like a "tit for tat" situation.
