Do you spend time apart?

It's always healthy to spend some time doing your own thing when you're in a relationship - whether it's pursuing your own hobbies, having some "me time", spending time with your friends, or going all out on girl's night!

    Sometimes. Usually not when the other has off, those nights are ours. But when we’re on opposite schedules, sure, we see a friend here and there. Not very often though.

    Sometimes. Neither of us has much of a social life, but we constantly do different projects / activities.

    Very very rarely. I'll occasionally run errands on my own that he doesn't care to join me on, but otherwise we pretty much do everything together. The house that we're renting now is tiny so maybe when we have more space we'll spread out more in the house but right now we're almost always in the same room when we're home.

    Sometimes. We have a small truck and when he goes to see his 18 year old son I don't usually go. The kid is BIG and there isn't enough room, and I used to go to the gym a lot with my sister-in-law. I spend time with a friend too though. Everyone needs some space from time to time

    Not really. We enjoy each other to much. We r really best friends and truly enjoy each others company no matter what we r doing. He has his man cave but its connected to our bedroom so even when we r having separate time we r still only feet away. We like each other to much to do things separately and it hasnt changed in almost 4 years.

    Sometimes. I'm extremely introverted and do need my alone time. We tend to hangout in different rooms in the same house lol. Usually we are together though.

    Sometimes. Right now we aren't living together, so there's that. But we also enjoy girls' nights and guys' nights with our friends. Apart time is import to us because it makes together time better.

    Sometimes.

    A lot of his friends are either really active (travel wise, or their other social crowds), or are married, so it's not often they all get together. More towards Football Season, but it's more a group thing than just the guys.

    We are home bodies. Though the longer we get together the more I appreciate having a few hours to myself, even if I'm not relaxing just the fact of a bit more silence is pretty amazing. Once he gets home though I'm pretty excited, ha!

    Sometimes. I have a monthly craft day with some friends. He uses that time to have a bromance date with his friend. It work out because his friend's girlfriend is one of my craft day buddies.

    We also have the occasional girls night or boys night just because. I'm actually going to have a girls weekend most of this weekend and all of next weekend.

    Sometimes. Mostly we are always together but sometimes we'll have family events where one of us can't take off work so we'll do our own things. We share the same hobbies so there isn't much we want to do separately generally.

    We do about twice a year. This past weekend he went on a motorcycle run with his friends and I went to a spa with mine. But we really just enjoy spending our time off together.

    Yes, a bit more than I would like. We normally see each other three days a week.

    Sometimes. I spend more time out with friends than he does, but he will stay back and play on games and decompress in his own way. He’s happy with that!

    We see each other Friday - Sunday for church things, and try to have one date or just time together a week,

    But usually 3 - 4 days a week I go without seeing him.

    Once we get married and move in together, our work schedules will very likely conflict in a way that may keep that rhythm.

    Sometimes. He finds time to hang out with his friends once a week or every other week, depending on how our schedule is for the weekend. I usually have my alone time at night, since he works second shift. And I try to find time to get together with friends when I can, with my busy schedule.
