Say your partner is gone for around a week, and you're home alone. What are you going to do that you wouldn't normally with someone around?

    Eat at arbitrary times when I’m hungry, and eat lots of spicy food. Smoke weed and play computer games. Feel a bit lonely.

      That sounds wonderful, even the lonely part. I feel we don’t appreciate the valance that some time alone can bring since we are social (ish) animals.

        It’s hugely valuable. I love my partner deeply, but I often fall into a trap of imagining that life was simpler an dmore fun when I didn’t have to care about another person’s needs and could just be the goblin inside. But when I actually get the chance, the novelty wears off pretty quick and I’m so happy when they’re back.

    Eat bad-for-me food, hang out more with my “nerd friends”, crank the music in the car, watch a movie that I like but they wouldn’t.

    Assuming twin went with partner to make the house truly empty, I’d be calling both of them each day, and otherwise dancing with the cat. She’s nervous so less people maybe she’d let me affectionate her more.

        I have not yet had a relationship where my SO didn’t force me to wear pants around my own house. 😭

          You’re making me glad I’m single. Home is where the nekid is. Anything else is criminal. If I’m wearing pants at home it’s either because I’m waiting on a delivery or cooking bacon.

    Catch up on video games, reading, and maybe some shows they don’t care for.

    Based on experience: play video games for too long instead of eating, watch movies they don’t normally enjoy, and forget to go to sleep at a reasonable time.

      A dog or a cat may help with the last one. They will let you stay up too late, but they won’t let you sleep in.

        Oh dear lord. My 5 year old shiba has been deciding by that 4am is suddenly an appropriate time to ask to go to the bathroom when I even limit water after a certain point at night. This just started recently. She used to go until 5:30 or so and still sometimes does. It seems random, so I don’t think it’s a UTI or anything.

    My wife’s a meal planner, I’m more of a ‘whatever’s in the house’ type of cook. Just throw random shit together if it even sounds close to good. So I’d probably just do lots of stir-fries of all the random ingredients for planned meals that didn’t happen but still live in our freezer.

    She’d return to what appears to be freezer that I cleaned out, and I will have put next to no thought into cooking.
