When you're dating, alone time is extremely important in order to maintain a healthy balance in your relationship. Sure, wanting to be with your significant other as much as possible is completely normal, but there's something to be said about having time to engage in your secret single behavior. So whether it's catching up with old friends, wearing your baggiest sweat pants, or just eating your favorite comfort food in the privacy of your own home, tell me ladies, what do you do with your alone time when you're in a relationship?

i put on ugly sweats (none of that nice-butt yoga pant crap that i wear when people actually see me), and i will read a chick lit girlie novel, and likely indulge in some chocolate or a giant bowl of buttery popcorn which i don't have to share!
1Usually curl up on the couch with the dogs and watch a girlie movie (romantic comedies usually).
2I live with my boyfriend so I hardly get any alone time... but when I do, I like just reading or listening to my iTunes playlists (he always makes fun of my taste in music
).
3watch sliders on netflix and draw.
4I live with my BF too, but he goes to visit his parents every now and then, or goes out with his friends - which is usually for the whole night! - and I can finally eat fish (he won't eat anything that's come out of the water...), watch ER reruns or a chick flick, and put gooey green masks on my face. He's always surprised I don't go out with my friends when he does, but I actually just looooooove being finally alone at home and doing whatever I please!
5Alone time is overrated. Ha.
6I love to be alone once in awhile and eat a lot of junk food or pasta, and watching a girly TV show or movie that my husband hates. I like to clean up a little bit while singing loudly, too. I don't torture anyone with my singing voice when I'm not alone
7I usually read my fashion magazines or whatever book I'm in the middle of, play online, or watch movies that I love and my husband hates. Sometimes I go shopping too.
8I go shopping with my friends, read through all the sugar websites (I do that when I'm with him too), watch tv, hang out with my parents, talk on the phone, read books...
9I'm usually on the internet:) or watching the news, sipping tea and lounging in comfy, baggy clothes. I don't get much alone time so when i do, i just like to chill. My friends call me an old lady but oh well lol
10I put on some sweats and a baggy shirt, and lay down on the couch and watch whatever is on my TiVo (I never can catch up!). Or I play Xbox, sometimes against random opponents on Xbox Live (I'm such a nerd). Or go grocery shopping.
11Both my bf and I work alot, so we barely see each other during the week. We do hang out with our own friends and share some interesting detail later on.
12Same, take bubble baths, examine skin, try on experimental outfits, eat this sick "waffle stew" concoction I can't eat from anyone except my family.
13After taking a shower I put on clean PJs and usually hunker down in front of the computer. Either to read movie or game gossip or play an actual video game. Oh, and most importantly--while in the shower, I don't bother shaving my legs. YAY!
14I do homework (Rarely, but if I ever do any, it's while I'm alone), read blogs (My boyfriend forbids me from going online to check stuff like that because we see each other so rarely, he gets offended!), lie on my bed watching TV before I fall into a coma, eat whatever whenever I want, and run errands.
15I'm having it right now! It's great...SO necessary...I can't go too long without it. My bf and I live near each other and sometimes when I am constantly over there I think it's a huge waste of money to live in separate apartments. But then walking into my bright, flowery, shoe filled apartment I am reminded why I pay that rent! My secret single behavior actually involves reading popsugar on my favorite chair while listening to new music I downloaded. I also love to try on new outfits and see how I can mix and match my pieces. I also talk on the phone with my best friend for hours, take walks, and organize/clean. I love it! I love time with my bf too but I can't go without "me" time.
16I live with my boyfriend, but we still get alone time. It's usually in short intervals, but I like them that way. I'll usually read, or play with the doggies, surf the web, or do/watch something girlie while he plays video games or watches videos online. The intervals get short because we usually call eachother to check out whatever we are doing. My boyfriend LOVES when I watch him play video games. Outside the house we have alone time too, like when I go shopping or we hang out with our own friends. We spend TONS of times together, but manage to enjoy our time by ourself and nurturing our other relationships [family, friends, doggies
].

18I used to be pretty bad with alone time, but now im starting to get into it
19I do bubble baths, talk to my cat (haha), go to the park, read somethin, watch something, blast music, play super nintendo, and write in my journal (but i finished my journal!! oh no!)
I read a lot.
20Do some knitting.
Get all the cleaning done that I've been ignoring while I'm with him.
Wear my girly dresses out that I don't get a chance to because I'm at his place instead of mine during the week.
I do laundry, cook a meal from scratch, read magazines, organize photos on facebook, download and watch tv (while eating popcorn + caramel chocolate!), download music onto my ipod, and call my friends and family.
21I like to lay on the couch and watch food network for hours.
22i love to walk around naked. it's almost a given that thursdays are our alone time days; he goes out with the boys; i go out with my girls/friends, go gymming, do some web design, watch greys or play xbox/wii.
23I eat a bowl of tuna fish w/a little mayo & a lot of Fritos mixed in. DISGUSTING! lol
Read, practice some music, clean the house. It's delicious. I LOVE my home!
Oh, and Girls Only Time. Dinner + shopping w/girlfriends.
24I definitely need my alone time and I'm married. It's crucial or you'll drive each other crazy.
25I go shopping alone or take a bath and read a book or magazine.
26Misskastar, hilarious! I feel the exact same way after spending a few days with my bf. I wonder, why am I paying ridiculous Manhattan rent if I'm hanging out in my bf's apt?? And the minute I get home everything is clean, smells good, food is available in the fridge, the couch is open to me and Sug (my cat).
I can watch the Food Network all day. I read, run, take long showers, stare at my pores, perform beauty maintenance, dance around while I cook/clean, talk to my friends, play dress up, get lost in the awesome neighborhoods of the city for hours, discover new restaurants and stores, I recently started a book club!
I recently moved and I'm staying with my bf for a few days until my apartment is in order, lemme tell you, I'm excited for some Alone Time!
27i love to listen to a good audiobook, eat something yummy, curl up with my lil dog and relax...
28get together with my girlfriends and laugh or watch TV ALL NIGHT or go online ALL NIGHT and not feel one tiny bit guilty about it, lol
