hey LS...I used to post around here under a different name...

 

i've got a girlfriend and we have a great relationship in general. very loving, best friends, yadda yadda. we live in separate apartments although i spend about 70% of the time staying over at hers and she stays at mine 30% of the time. the disparity between how much we stay at hers and mine is mostly due to the fact that her place is easier for both of us to get to work from--this is not our problem.

 

our problem is that sometimes, i want to go back to my apartment and she wants to stay at hers. we can't come to an agreement and, within what i consider normal reasoning, this is the kind of night we should just go separate. she hates this...she gets very upset when we're not together basically. she's not generally clingy per say, but this is a real problem mostly at night. am i insane?

 

this is not a relationship i want to get out of and i am not in denial (how many times has THAT been said over here...). i truly believe we're deeply in love and i don't want to jeopardize the relationship but i also think it's essential that i can have a LITTLE time on my own GUILT FREE. what do i say/do/think?

 

thanks.

Time spent apart from your SO can make you appreciate them that much more when you get to be together. IME in the past - too much time together killed some of the thrill. How long have you guys been dating?
