I'm not sure how I would answer the question. I think the first thing that comes to mind is that I had a part of my life that was my own. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy sharing myself and my time with my W immensely! But I enjoyed having a "little island" I could "escape" to. This is probably coming out all wrong because sometimes I'm not very articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel but that is the jist. Now, what I don't want is my W telling me "go do this" or "go do that by yourself because you don't want me around" because that's not it at all. It's hard to explain it. It was maybe more of a feeling of independence. This will sound strange to her because she has no leash on me whatsoever. But the feeling is there none the less.
