How much time do you spend with your spouse?

I am curious about this as I thought I spent enough time with my spouse and family but apparently my wife feels I don't so I am curious how it is for others.
Basically I spend time with them after work until 8-9 when we get our son down then I go off on my own into our office.During the weekends they have me all day until about 8 to 10.
My wife likes TV but I frankly don't so I normally go up to the computer room at night after our son is put to bed. I don't know what would be considered normal in this situation. It is my time after my son goes to bed as far as I am concerned. I wonder if it is because she doesn't interact with anyone during the day. She sleeps a lot on certain days and other days she picks at being a SAHM.
Am I being selfish for wanting that time to myself at night? Please let me know.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I don't think you are selfish at all.
Thanks Avalanche. I appreciate the comment. As you know most of us do ten times what is required of normal spouses, and we still need to eek out time for ourselves.
OMGS thanx for the joking!!!! this stuff can get really heavy and it's nice to have a laugh mixed in.
