jadelil25 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Time do you like to spend with your boyfriend/girlfriend each week? And how much time would you feel is too much? Im really curious about how people feel on this and would appreciate your feed back. Also: I have been with my boyfriend for two months now and I feel that I dont get enough time with him. He has move out from home and goes home once or twice a month for the weekend which is fair enough, I understand that and would never stop him as that is unfair. But I still only get to see him once or twice a week. I understand that space is important and I like to have my space so I can do my own thing and have time with friends. At the beginning he seemed a bit more serious than me, I said to him that I do like to communicate everyday but im a beliver in time apart. Do you think I should talk to him and see if we can figure it out so that we can see each other more? or is it to early in the relationship for that? I really would appreciate your opinion. Thank you.
Squirtal Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I think the amount of time really depends on you as individuals. When I first met my partner unless it was over the holidays we spent maybe a Friday or A saturday together. Over the Christmas break we spent a couple of nights here and there. then when we hit February i would go over on a friday and spend til Sunday with him, or if he came to me it would only be one night..he works 7 days a week and needed to be close to work. If for any reason we missed a weekend then he would come on a Monday night. Come June after we had had a bit of time apart due to a holiday of mine we decided we wanted to spend more time together so I stayed the Sunday too and commuted to work to see if it were viable..and July we moved in together...so up until then it was Normally only weekends we saw each other, with the occasional exception. We were happy with the weekends when we were doing them..we just naturally progressed into wanting something more permanant. But as I said its each to their own on this one..I don't think there is a normal or not normal amount of time to spend with someone..unless you go weeks without seeing your SO.
SoulSearch_CO Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Well, due to our distance (2 hours) and my job working 5 nights a week, we only get to see each other Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We both wish it was more. If family/personal obligations come up, then we end up having to skip a day or two. Really depends on the people involved and how much together time they like to have. You could talk to him about it.
