My boyfriend and I have been dating 7 months.

We see each other 2 times a week, on his days off.

But since the holidays, we've seen each other more since we've had more time off. Which I love.

However, a little while ago, I read a post on here saying something about giving them time to miss you and stuff like that.

Is that true? How am I supposed to go about that if it is true? Am I supposed to decline when he asks to hang out, just for that reason?

Or is that not even true?

It sounds as though your relationship is making a natural progression. You're spending a bit more time together, and if you're both enjoying it, that's good! I've been in a lot of relationships, and what I've experienced is that when we are together every day all the time with no space, we tend to need some space. But I wouldn't create space if you guys aren't on top of eachother all of the time. That might be misconstrued as pushing him away and lead to all types of other misscommunication. Make sure you just keep making plans with your friends, and tme for yourself, and dont compromise that time by breaking those other plans and you'll be fine.

This sums it up quite nicely, make sure you both have time for yourselves. Your SO should be your best friend (at least after awhile) so it is only fitting you spend a lot of time with them

It's not an absolute truth! Everyone is different. Time to miss you???? Hog-wash, you will decide how much time to spend together. If more- great. If less- okay. You two decide...no rules on this.
