Gee, I'm in an LDR, so I only wish I saw him enough to be worn out! Normally I'd work out and knit, though.

Princess_eab, I'm in a long distance relationship too so I feel your pain.

But when I am with him for long periods of time, I go to the gym, read a book, go hang out with my family & friends... but honestly that's rare since we don't get that much time together in the first place.

me three, as far as the LDR goes.

normally i'd make extra time with friends, read, watch sex & the city.

When I need some me time, I watch all my girlie shows that my husband can't stand, reread all my favorite books, catch up with my gossip magazines, and make time to hang out with my girlfriends.

i hangout with a good friend. we talk about everything and relieve whatever stress we have in a humorous way. lol

when i get too overwhelmed and i need to get away from my perpetual on-again off-again boyfriend i take a weekend trip to my family's cabin in montana on hebgen lake with a couple friends. when leaving we have to scrub the whole place down (family rules) but it's so worth it. it's my escape.

Swimming. I was a competitive swimmer in high school and my 6 ft 1 boyfriend almost drowned in 4 feet of water ( to this day I still dont know why he just didnt stand up). When I go to the pool I know he wont even dream of tagging along not to mention water is ultra calming.

I can't afford major spa treatments, so as lame as this may sound, I really look forward to getting my eyebrows waxed at this fantastic spa close to my work. The girl who works on me knows my story so she always puts me on the thermal bed so I get a little heat therapy while I'm there , and gives me a little sinus massage after the waxing. It's a nice little escape and something I can do for myself that my boyfriend will enjoy too (better than Frodo style eyebrows, anyway haha).

A weekend dedicated to reading, watching TV and video games!

well my bf and I don't live together, so I just go home nonetheless, even if we were to live together, we both value our own personal time to decompress, so I know we would make it a priority for each other, too

my fiance and i live together, have for 2 almost 3 years now... I cannot say I ever need to "recharge". We are both very anti social individuals who require copious amounts of personal space... So even if we spend all day in the same house together we actually only spend maybe 3 or 4 h of actual time together.. He's usually doing his thing and i am doing my thing.. Then we go for walks, or watch movies together.. makes the time we do spend together quality, rather then quantity... and also I have stuff to tell him and vice versa since we don't spend every waking moment together

I like to go ride my horses, or play with my dog, read a book, or go run. I especially like to go do active/social things when I'm doing "me time", just b/c my bf is more of an introvert/non-active person.

I usually read, watch sappy romantic movies that I have seen a million times, or workout

Time away, no matter what I'm doing just me and only me is needed.

I read books, look at movies, listen to music, and go out with my people.

I watch "terrible" TV shows like Desperate Housewives and The Bachelor. Ok, that last one IS terrible, but it's a guilty pleasure and my boyfriend can't stand it. So I watch it online on my laptop w/ headphones. I also like to go on runs or to the gym - bf always wants to go together, but I don't like the idea of getting out-of-breath and red in front of him when the activity isn't...romantic. Maybe if I changed that attitude I'd actually be more motivated to go... Otherwise, going on trips solo or with girlfriends is always fun.

I go to the gym!

I coax him to prepare the meal while I stand leaning over the wall, saying things that stocked up over the past days. He is a better cook and it isn't more relaxing than getting better home-cooked meals with less effort.
