The thought of being around someone all day seems crazy. Even if you’re in love. I need my solitary time, I don’t need someone with me when I do shit. I love working out alone, playing games alone.
I know so many couples who do absolutely everything together, all the time. Idk how they do it. I would go crazy.

That’s very normal, especially for more introverted people. I think its even important to have some alone time from your partner. I also think sometimes people underestimate how much parallel play happens in longterm relationships, so hanging out doesn’t always feel social
Totally normal—and honestly, it’s healthy. Wanting space doesn’t mean you love your partner any less, it just means you value independence and recharge best on your own. Some people thrive on constant connection, others need solitude to stay sane. The key is finding someone who respects that balance instead of taking it personally.
Very normal. You need your own space. As the saying goes, Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Absolutely. I unoriginally call it “me time” but it’s what I need to keep a healthy balance. I need that dark room sometimes.
We have some rural property where I go and work from for a few days every couple weeks. Just the dog and me for a few days. Both my wife and I enjoy the time apart, although I think she misses the dog. 😊
It’s normal if it’s what you need. Your partner isn’t everything to you. Maybe you have a hiking buddy or someone you like to do a hobby with etc. It’s normal to have a life outside your relationship!
God yes. It’s normal.
Everyone needs time to themself. The degree of which will vary per person.
It really depends on how long you’ve been together. When the relationship is still new, you often feel like you want to be with each other all the fudging time. Hahaha! But as time goes on and you grow together as a couple, not being together all the time becomes completely okay. There will be moments when you just need space or time for yourself, and that’s normal. You will always, always, always have the want for those quiet gaps but at the end of it all, uuwi ka din naman sa kanya e.
Yeah, surely. You are your own person. You should be allowed to have your own life with and without your partner
It’s not only normal but it even should be this way and wanting to be with partner all the time is not normal, at least if it’s not the very beginning of relationship cause it’s sign of dependency caused by past traumatic experiences
Imo itd be ideal to be able to just sit in the same space as your partner whilst you do your own things. No need for interaction. Both of you in your own space in the same place. That’s actually a form of intimacy. Now THAT sounds healthy to me.
It’s normal. Some people want more time together and some want less. Besides that, don’t forget that you only know what people tell you about themselves, which isn’t necessarily the whole truth. I might tell you all about my time with my fiance, but would not tell you about the time when we argue because we just need space from each other, so to you, it might seem like we do everything together.
Totally normal. Needing space doesn’t mean you love someone any less it just means you value your independence and alone time. Some people recharge by being with others, and some need solitude. Every relationship is different, and what matters most is finding a balance that works for both people.
Didn’t read; don’t care. No… it is completely normal. You do you sometimes. You’re heavy… get off my back every now and then; ya know?
Yeah but I do believe that the amount of time you can spend before needing complete alone time would indicate how much you actually like them.
Yes, completely normal.
I can spend all day with my husband. We’ve been together for over two decades. We operate on a deep friendship level. That being said, we do have separate bedrooms. Sleep is the time we spend apart.
There’s a reason “absence makes the heart grow fonder” is a thing.
