TIME OFF FROM HUSBANDS/BOYFRIENDS? Is it normal?

If you don't spend time away from him, you won't ever have anything new to bring to the relationship.  It's definitely good for both of you to spend time apart.

Not only is it normal to have girl time it is essential.

Course it's normal . . . i'm in relationship for long time , but i feel great when i go somewhere with my girlfriends , when we laughing , chating and so on...
it doesn't mean you're bad girlfriend/wife if you have fun with your friends ,and not only with your husd+bands/boyfriends..
it's not normal to spend every (i really mean every-every) second with your guy,you need to have more people around you.ofc ,it doesn't include cheating (that's not normal  )

Do husbands/boyfriends have much 'guys time'???

I've been married for a while and I'm ashamed to say, I really don't enjoy my husband's company. I find it boring. I still love him dearly.

I would rather sew or do gardening or be in another room that to sit with him.

I don't understand what is going on.

Psssh... I can't wait for my husband to go to work every day.  I get some "me" time... just like, he can't wait until I go to sleep at night, because he gets some "him" time.  And when he's home we barely spend any time together.  I let him do his thing, and he lets me do mine.  It's just different when you're alone than when there's someone else there with you.  For me, there's always this feeling like I should be in the same room with him, and we should be doing things together... but too much of that really wouldn't make either one of us happy.

We enjoy each other's company, but we get bored easily with each other.  It's normal.  The important thing is, you both know that you're there for each other when you need to be.

Don't get me wrong, we love each other dearly. At least I know I do..haha.

He loves watching TV especially action films and cop shows and I prefer curling up with a book.

We used to really enjoy each other's company when we lived apart, before we got married.
I'd look forward to seeing him, his phone calls we're great.

It seems like there isn't anything interesting to say. I can sometimes even expect exactly what he is going to say...

I'm just wondering if this is a normal phase in a relationship?
I've only felt like that in the past 4 months or so...

I think it's perfectly normal. I enjoy my "me" time because I get to do whatever. Instead of worry about doing something we both enjoy.

Thanks everybody!
At least now I know it's OK and don't have to feel guilty thinking I may be 'falling out of love'

Hehe... ME!!

I wonder why are we referred to as Housewives?

The thing is my husband doesn't even snore! I just like my own company I guess. There's such peace being at home on your own. Nobody else, the towels stay neatly folded and are not wet on the floor...
The toilet seat remains shut...

Well I kinda have the opposite problem. I miss my husband so much!!!! and I dont even want to go out w my friends or anything, I just feel like being home and sleep sometimes. Sometimes is so unberable that I wanna start taking antidepressants or something. I was coping fine at first going out with my friends and stuff, but now I dont wanna see nobody, the only think that I'm looking forward is for my hubby to come back(from Iraq) is this normal???
Thank you girls!!!

Yes, it's perfectly normal, and just means that you love him a lot.  My bf (now fiance) spent about a day in jail last year, and I was worrried sick and missed him terribly... I had to drink a lot of wine (I hardly ever drink) and still couldn't sleep all night.  I can't imagine how awful it must be to have your honey in service overseas, I hope he comes home safely really soon!!

This is normal, your husband is away in a foreign place fighting a war- i hope he comes home soon, and good luck!  Just keep writing him and supporting him, the family is one of the soldiers biggest asset.

Every couple needs time apart. I have to have alone time or I'll go nuts!
