On mobile please excuse format- So my bf and I have a really good relationship we live together and very much in love. However sometimes I just need a moment alone. Don’t get me wrong we both work and we spend majority of the 9-6 away from each other and I love spending time with him. However I just need a moment sometimes. So sometimes I go take a shower and lock the door. He’s not forceful sexually this isn’t a sexual thing- we have a wonderful healthy happy sex life but when I lock the door, and mind you this isn’t every time but sometimes he will need something or want to come talk to me and he will unlock the door (it’s not a good lock) and come in and do his thing or talk to me and I get so fucking annoyed! He says I’m overreacting and I say it’s okay to want a moment and he says he sees me naked all the time and he just doesn’t seem to understand that it’s not about him seeing me naked I don’t care about that, it’s just that sometimes I need a moment to decompress from the day alone. It doesn’t feel malicious it genuinely feels like he just wants to spend time with me which is wonderful but idk… he gets upset every so often when I snap about it and tell him I need a moment alone. I never shower for more than 15 mins because I enjoy the hot water. It just happened right now after sex and he wanted to happily chat with me and I’m like I love you but I just want a moment to shower and do my skin care routine and now he’s annoyed with me. He’s not mean about it just says he doesn’t understand why. AITAH for needing time alone?? I understand people are different and brains work differently so how can I make him understand it without hurting his feelings??
EDIT: it’s been 5 mins since I posted and we are cuddled in bed and he apologized- I still want an answer though and advice on how I can explain this to him better bc it continues to be an issue :( I love him
