This isn't really true. I love my partner but recognise that we spend too much time together because I A) work from home, and B) have very few local friends due to A. This means all of my free time is essentially with her, and I enjoy this. I don't want to change this, however I recognise that because of this she has become essentially my everything so when she takes a day to be with her friends or go see her parents I end up sitting there like well what do I do now and it ends up becoming a really negative thing.

​

There is such a thing as too much time together, and it's not a bad thing. You need your own hobbies and friends to be your own person and to be genuinely happy and fulfilled rather than becoming an extension of your partner.

​

Sadly that's easier said than done, but I believe recognising it is an important part so that it does not cause conflict. For example, I may get a bit upset when she spends time away from me (for reasons mentioned above), however I recognise I am unreasonable for that so it isn't something I would pursue or argue about as it's a totally normal thing.
