How do you know?

How do you know when you are spending too much time with your significant other?

This is my question of the night (because it is something I'm having trouble with). Let me know what you all think.

Feel free to add to or expand this as you see fit. Or to ask your own questions.

trouble in paradise?

i say, ask him!...why beat around the bush, ask him if he wants more time a lone or with his buddies or whatever, and you tell him what you feel....AND BE HONEST!

other than that i can't really say anything else...good luck

i think everyone has thier own limits......something too much for one person mihgt not b too much for someone else....so depends on your personality...and of course preferences of your significant other *shrug*

When spending time with them begins to feel like a chore or obligation.

Does this have to do with Jeepnut, oh my goodness, please don't tell me you guys are sailing rough waters!

Well, as long as spending time together is fun and productive to the relationship, you can have as much as you want. Where it gets problematic is when you both start getting too clingy and insecure without your significant other. You should always leave eachother wanting more or else your attraction is going to drop dead - and that leads to unfavourable cutoffs and hard feelings.

And you shouldn't hesitate to put time aside for friends. It's not absolutely mandatory, though. It always depends on the people.

You know you're spending too much time with anyone, it doesn't matter if they are your boyfriend, girlfriend, or bestfriend, you'll know it's been too much time together when you start having pointless arguments, and get bored around the other.

Well, Happydude said to ask him. I have, but we disagree on the matter. That's why I brought it up here. He says he spends too much time with me.

So when he went out tonight he didn't want me around. But the way I see it, if we're hanging out with other people, why is it a problem that I am there? I wouldn't mind if he wanted to go out with me and my friends (especially if it wasn't an issue for the other friends). I mean, there are even some people he is out with that I am friends with too.
