If I didn't love solitude, I'd be a crummy military wife I cherish my alone-time. I only have to think about me, me, me and what makes me happy. I do what I want, when I want. I adore my DH and we have a wonderful, happy life. We enjoy doing things together, but when he leaves, he's also happier knowing that I am fully capable of entertaining myself.

It's not even so much that I'm making the best of a bad situation, I truly enjoy being by myself. I do make sure that I get together with friends, but some days, I really just want to do my own thing.
