2) Take a bubble bath and pamper myself.
3) Go for a walk
4) Get together with some friends
5) Paint or sketch
6) Exercise
7) Watch a movie that he doesn't want to watch
8) Try a new recipe
9) Research a topic that interests me and learn something new
10) Call and catch up with my family and long-distant friends
11) Volunteer at the local food pantry
There are endless possibilities. Looking at the situation as an opportunity for you instead of a 'slap in the face' will help a lot.

Shesus, love, that is an awesome list
... you wouldn't mind if i grab some, would ya?
i think the thing for me mostly is that healer is my way around, we do everything together and when he does want some "alone time" or "boy time" (which happens VERY rarely) i do kinda feel left out, even though i know that its something he really wants to do. but the reason i feel that way is because should he go out and do his own thing, i'm stuck at home. anyways, it all boils down to... i should really work on getting my drivers license.
