For those of you who live with your S/Os

unless she goes to a locksmith.

TMI there, buddy!

I'm not suggesting "hiding" "bad" things, but just generally... what if you want to work on something to surprise her? (e.g. learn a new skill, build something)

Or just generally, how do you deal with sharing more or less your whole life with someone all the time?

I don't. I've been married for 14 years and with the same woman for the past 16 years. We don't do EVERYTHING together. I don't care how close you are...people don't share 100% of the same interests and everyone needs a little "me time" every now and then. My wife works out in the AM on the weekends with a friend of hers and I cycle. There are times when she'll take our son to do something and I'll have the house to myself and times when I'll take him somewhere just the boys. There are also times when I'll go see my friends (maybe a few times a year that I'll be gone for the better part of a day). For example, two weeks ago I drove up to Los Angeles to go to the auto show with my friends. My wife and son stayed at home.

Besides, there's always work...god knows I spend about half my waking time here at work.

I've gotten mine interested in games (including gears of war, we went 50/50 on an xbox 360).

I did, however, pick up crocheting...it's not bad, actually...rather soothing.

We have a bedroom, and then I have an office/video gaming/porno watching room that she doesn't go into without knocking. : )

Works great!

2. Dorm roommates;
3. Apartment with college buddies;
4. Apartment with law school buddies;
5. House with now-wife, now-sister-in-law (wife's twin
...

I just stopped reading the rest of the thread. Tell me more about your wife and living with her twin.

p.s. Pics?

Probably to 'check' on you when her b/f comes over. It could be a pun even.

I am married, private time isn't that hard most of the time. She designs the floor set for a mall store. While she mostly works 9-5 M-F, she has enough weekend and over/late nights to help me.

Use the mouse as a sling/bolo next time. Profit!

Haven't really had an issue with it. We understand when the other wants some time alone. It's not a big deal. We know each other REALLY well so everything is solved by simple communication.

I am told that I don't like privacy.

FYI: I've been married for awhile.

I don't have a problem with privacy from my wife if I want it. I usually don't, though. We do most of our stuff together, with our two kids.

But, she does wimp out early at night most of the time, so if I needed to do something without her knowing, it'd be no problem. Like right now, she's upstairs in bed. I could be watching pron, buying her something online, doing another chick, working on my Jeep or race truck....she'd never know.
