McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

She may have married the wrong person.
How exactly are you communicating that to her? I need my alone time too, but it can be difficult to put into words without hurting feelings.
How quality time do you guys spend with each other ? How much you guys evolve , love with each other matters.. she will also like the alone time , but seems she is not satisfied with the quality time or love from u.. try to give her as much love during working hours .. I’m pretty sure without saying she will allow u ur alone time .. she wants to be with u for love and time which she might not be getting during working hours
Yeah quality time with each other it very different from coexisting in the same space all day.
Maybe her feelings are hurt or she’s feeling rejected. Why, I’m not sure. Maybe she’s feeling insecure in the relationship or maybe she feels she’ll do better in terms of time and distance if she’s with you. Run with her for awhile, what can it hurt? It will help her feel grounded.
What is her love language OP? If it is quality time like mine then I can understand her feelings being a little hurt. Especially since you both work from home but aren't really spending that time together. However it is important to have activities that you do by yourself and I know that so I let my husband do his own thing when he tells me he prefers it that way.

“I really need that time to clear my head and wouldn’t be present for you. Do you want to do X activity on X day with me instead? I think that would be more comfortable for both of us.”
As an introvert this is tough. Just about every female I’ve ever dated can’t wrap their head around it but some people just need alone time to decompress.
