The batchelor life.
I think I've come to a realisation.
I miss the batchelor life. I miss having time to myself. I miss doing my own thing, having my own hobbies, listening to my music, having a beer and watching some sci-fi on TV or a wierd DVD. Or, as at the moment, reading a Stephen King doorstep.
I'm only just starting to realise - having had a few days to do all that stuff without a wife and a baby around - that I don't want to spend every evening watching crap on TV with the Mrs. It's as if when I became a husband I stopped being a person in my own right... ohmigod, my single friends were right!
OK, maybe it's not really that bad, but I have spent less time on the hobbies I had before we got married, and I think in some way I have tried to compensate for that by finding something else that's mine, my way of escaping from married life for an hour here or there, and I've found something that I can do while I'm ostensibly at work...
Or am I just trying to find another way of blaming my wife for what I've been doing?

It must be difficult. All those lifestyle changes and relationship stresses do put me off marriage a bit.
