I also often need my own time too, I think sometimes the discord that I sometimes fuel is even just a way to justify to myself that I must be apart. When I am in such a situation I often am feeling sorry for myself after stirring the pot and getting burned, and spend a lot of time speaking to God. I'm going to do this for a little while, even though I fully chose this and I'm not really in any trouble, and it has always helped me a lot. Plus it might be the expenditure cut that puts me in an apartment sooner.
