On Monday I asked if you like to play when the cat's away, and I feel like there was some confusion surrounding my question. I wasn't asking if you cheated while he was gone; rather, I was asking if you went out and painted the town a little red, or splurged with your girlfriends.
In keeping with that theme, if enjoying the TV all to yourself is too mundane, I've come up with five great ways to enjoy time away from your significant other.

Does the old saying when the cat's away, the mouse will play ring at all true in your relationship? It's a common notion that when a significant other is out of town, the other half gets a "hall pass." While I'm sure that's appealing to some, others might use that time apart to catch up on alone time, to get errands run, or to simply spend time with friends and family.

With life as busy as it is, it can seem like there’s no time to sleep, let alone take up a hobby. But a hobby can actually help you slow down and make invaluable time for yourself during the busiest moments. While I know there are those of us who’ve been rocking a hobby since childhood, I’m sure there are some of us still looking for a way to do something just for ourselves.

Last week an article on MSNBC.com from Today show contributor and sex therapist, Dr. Ian Kerner caught my eye. In it he discusses the ways anxiety and excitement play a strong role in dating, ultimately creating an "emotional seesaw" effect as daters bounce from high to low and back again.

Alone time is incredibly valuable, especially if you tend to be an introvert; it gives you time to process your thoughts and get back in touch with yourself as an individual. But once you’re in a relationship, alone time can get lost in the shuffle of a busy schedule. In fact, if you live with someone, finding alone time can feel nearly impossible.

It seems like there is always a new excuse to treat yourself, and the new trend for expecting couples is to go on a baby-moon — you know, the last time to vacation with your honey before the baby comes! I'm all for living the good life and spending quality time to romance your special someone, but a baby-moon just seems like an excuse to go on an extravagant vacation. Though I'm not a mom myself, I do understand how a couples relationship, and life for that matter, completely changes after a baby.

I like alone time, but the idea of going on a vacation by myself, even for a weekend, kind of scares me. So when a friend recently told me that she was planning a solo trip to France, I thought she was kidding. Imagining someone traveling alone just for the sake of being alone seemed incomprehensible.

Whether you find the shower a perfect place or the worst place to get physical, it seems like the majority of us have tried hopping in the shower with our significant others on occasion. But the shower doesn't have to be sexy — sometimes a shower is just a shower. Heck, joining your man in the shower might just be a matter of convenience.

When you're dating, alone time is extremely important in order to maintain a healthy balance in your relationship. Sure, wanting to be with your significant other as much as possible is completely normal, but there's something to be said about having time to engage in your secret single behavior. So whether it's catching up with old friends, wearing your baggiest sweat pants, or just eating your favorite comfort food in the privacy of your own home, tell me ladies, what do you do with your alone time when you're in a relationship?
