Hi All,
My family and DH's seem to have a hard time understanding that when DH is home (which is about 2 days a week; if that) that we can't/don't want to rush over to visit them all the time.

DH and I have only been married 1yr and 4mo. and our families act like DH has a 9-5 job and I see him everyday. They are constantly trying to get him/us to come over to fix things around the house, or just visit, etc...

All I want to do while DH is home is spend time with him, make sweet lovin'

, and talk. Usually I have to work one of the days he's home, but he uses that time to get laundry done, logbook stuff, irreg. paysheets, etc. He doesn't have time to drive an hour each way to visit.

I have tried explaining this to them, but they just don't comprehend it!! We get together with these people at least once a month... how much more of our "newly married" time do these folks need!

Sorry to rant and rave, I was just wondering what you ladies did the first couple of years of your marriage. Were your families/friends demanding? Am I being selfish? I feel like his parents got him all to themselves for 30yrs. Can I please have some time alone with my husband?

thanks,
