We love spending time together, and the relationship is very fulfilling. He is retired and has quite a bit of time. I still have kids at home and work full time. My life is pretty busy. For the past year and a half, he has spent about five nights a week at my house. That time together is wonderful. I still have time with my kids before he comes over. He also helps me out with things on occasion. Before we got together, I would spend those evenings doing my housework and my hobbies. Now, I don’t feel like I have that time. This is stressing me out. I don’t want to give up my time with him. It’s valuable and beautiful. But I would like to live together. It would allow us to share responsibilities and allow me to have time with him and still have a clean house and hobbies. Right now, my only hobby is him, and I need a bit more than that. The two nights a week he isn’t here, I pack in some quick cleaning and relaxation. He isn’t interested in living together. He likes his house and his life and just wants things to continue the way they are. He gets to spend the days when I am working cleaning and doing his hob bies, so it works well for him. I’m looking for an option other than spending less time with him and I’m just not seeing it, so I’m hoping someone outside the situation sees something I’m missing. — Too Little Time CAROLYN HAX tellme@ washpost.com By DAVID ® OUELLET HOW TO PLAY: All the words listed below appear in the puzzle — hori zontally, vertically, diagonally and even backward.

WONDERWORD ANSWER FOR FEB. 24 Journeyman Someone who stays with you five nights a week for a year and a half is a nonpaying tenant. Yet he is acting like a guest, and you apparently are treating him like one. Heck, yeah, I’d keep my own house on those terms. Actually, I wouldn’t, because when I take advantage of someone’s hospital ity like that, I feel bad and either visit less often or contribute (a whole lot) more. Especially when that someone is a single parent with a full-time job. (This is how keyboard-face injuries happen.) So why is he so comfortable accept ing so much of your hospitality while giving back “occasionally” (gah) at such a cost to you? Why are you so comfortable with his taking so much and giving back so little at such a high cost to you? Your accept ing it tells him you are. That’s what I think you’re missing — that your arrangement stresses you out and you’re not immediately thinking, “Wow, this deal is great for him and exhausting for me, and neither one of us is looking out for me here.” That’s an alarm system you want hard-wired inside you, and at a volume you can’t possibly miss.
