Mysterio Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 With your partners or when you have one. How much time do you want to spend together. How much time do you need to have alone time. Would those factors help you thrive or strain a relationship. I think I am a man that needs reasonble space. I don't know if I could handle being together all the time. Is we were. There would have to be a lot physical affection on the table. Also interesting conversations and laughs as well.
Els Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 We spend most evenings and weekends together by mutual desire, although if one of us wanted alone time the other person would have no issue with it. We also naturally get time to ourselves whenever the other person is at work, or sleeping, showering, etc. I don't think any couple literally spends 100% of their free time together, but on the same note, I personally think that if you're in love with someone, you enjoy spending time with them (physical affection being "on the table" or not - what an unsexy way to phrase that, btw!).
Stillits Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 I'm quite low maintenance when it comes to time spent together. I can manage it better if we're physically together and can be doing different things without necessarily talking, but I can't do the texting all day thing. I need a lot of space for myself, and with work taking up several hours of that time, there's only so much I left in me when I get back home. I'd rather have a an hour or two of focused togetherness (i.e. we're not looking at our phones, f.ex., but paying attention to each other - quality time) than having to constantly be half-aware of some conversation going on while I'm trying to do other things. I'm not good at multi-tasking like that, everything turns out half as satisfying, plus someone being there all the time sort of makes me anxious.
Mentor99 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 We're each introverts and like our share of alone time, but that happens pretty naturally as we work different schedules so we don't really think about it. We enjoy spending a lot of time together though, but also have a good balance of separate activities. We actually make sure we take small road trips / holidays together throughout the year to make sure we're getting the amount of together time we need!
Happy Lemming Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 I spend the weekend with my girlfriend, pick her Saturday morning, take her home Monday morning. Its a mutual agreement and it works for both of us. We've taken a few road trips here and there, but nothing over 3-4 days. She likes her alone time and so do I.
Gaeta Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 BF and I require about the same alone time. About 2-3 days a week he stays at his place. We both get to do our things and catch up on shores. When we're not together we call good morning and good night. We don't text. Often I think we are doing so good because we have each our home and get that regular alone time.
