Another thing I just thought of - my guy is not a dude's dude - he'd rather be alone than with other guys, and doesn't go out and do stuff like fishing or ball games with other guys.

What he DOES need is time alone. He needs space. He needs to go out to his workshop sometimes and not have me in his space.

That's hard for me cuz I love being around him all the time and rarely spend time by myself. When I do, I usually enjoy it, but I'd much rather be with him.

But sometimes it's good to not overplan for weekends, to not have these huge expectations of someone to be there for us 24/7. To let the guy (or gal) be. If that means letting go of an argument, or of not going to a party together, or whatever, it's worth it.
