How do you explain?



I am a blog freak. I have trailed blogs for a long time. I guess this is my time to come out of my skin.

A sneak into my life.

I have been married for almost three years now, no kids and in my late twenties (thirty is so near, its scary, post for another day). I prefer my own company and that of my hubby than that of others. It's so bad, i can stay alone for several months and not be perturbed about not having contact with anyone aside from the office and church. I am a lone ranger though i am not proud of this.

However, my hubby is a people person, he knows everyone from his family and beyond and this is not funny , its scary. He is this type of person that in Yoruba parlance is known as omo ti gbogbo adugbo to (literally meaning, a child the whole town brought up). Everyone and anybody is always wanting something from him. Left to him he doesn't mind having people around and to be fair to him , he has tried to keep everyone at arm's length.

How do you explain to people that you prefer being on your own with your husband than having visitors, family and others ( i don't know what to call them) coming around for weekends or visits that just don't end. i don't mind having people come to the house for visits but can't they just visit and leave say like say the next day or within two days.

A typical scenario - the past two months i have had my mother-in-law come for three weeks, my hubby's godmother for a weekend, and now she wants to turn it to a every weekend thing.

Why can't we just spend our weekends alone?

Why must people come over don't they think that we need our privacy or need to be alone.

I don't get it.

Is anyone in this dilemma?

Am i just nuts or anti-people?

Comments/advise please.

Thank you.
