No Alone Time

I know most of the time from when I googled not spending enough alone time with wife I usually found it was the women complaining about it. But I'm the husband in this situation. Me and my wife do not get to spend enough alone time together for various reasons. We work separate hours. Yeah I know its easy for people to just say quit your job and get a new one but that's not how real life works. We have bills to pay and kids to support. But I am looking just no luck so far.

We used to have close friends but now the only time they want to come around is if its a benefit to them. The only friend I have that would spend time with me works with me but we both work evenings and separate days so that doesn't help. Only one parent is alive that can watch our kid between my wife and my parent. And she is not mentally all there so to speak. I'm an only child and my wife has one sister who lives far away.

Lately we've been arguing more and more about how we dont get time alone but with hardly any friends or family around its hard to get what we want. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to get alone time please offer some suggestions. I will admit that it does seem to bother me more than it does my wife. Though I know it does her too.

Put the internet to work for you.
