How much time do you spend together?

[somethingBEAUTIFUL]

I'm sure this has been asked at least several times before in the past, but I was wondering how much time do you and your SO spend together? In a typical week...?
My boyfriend and I generally spend around 6 hours together on Fri. nights, a bit less on Sat. because of church on Sun. morning. Sometimes we see each other if I go with him to church on Sun. night, sometimes not, but that's usually kept to anywhere between 2 and 4 hours we're together. On weeknights, if we feel like it, we'll walk together. We're both wanting to be healthier and lose some weight. The nights we do walk, we see each other for around an hour, maybe a little longer if we stand around outside and talk before parting.

I'm asking this because I don't want us to spend TOO much time together (is there such a thing? ). That brings up another good question. What, to you, would be spending too much time together?

Too much time together? I can't imagine.

Randy and I are in a long distance relationship.
He just got a phone at home (vs work phone).
So we will likely be talking a whole lot more.

Friday night we talked 5 1/2 hours.
Saturday we did not - he worked late.
Sunday we talked 2 hours.
Have plans to talk again tonight.

Before this we tried to have at least one date night (via phone).
They usually average 3 to 4 hours.

Not much because we are far away, generally a full weekend every 2 weeks. She is moving up here shortly so that will definitely change.

About two weeknights together and usually the entire weekend.

Too much time depends on the couple, but I would say you should be able to hang out a LOT without getting sick of each other. In marriage, you'll be hanging out a LOT more, once you live together.

well my bf and I live together so we spend every day together

Well, I suppose I was asking about spending too much time together because of something my grandmother said to me. I live with her, and Andy generally comes here to see me, pick me up, etc. So she knows pretty much exactly how much we're together. A couple weeks ago she told me to be careful about being together too much, because he might not be ready for something that serious. Or that he'd wonder where all the time had gone where he could've been doing other things, and he was with me then.
But I don't think I have very much to worry about. I think he and I are pretty much on the same wavelength feelings-wise, and he genuinely WANTS to spend lots of time with me- something I really have never experienced before. I'm not going to put him off, although I will tell him if I can't see him because of something I absolutely have to do, or if I want to spend time with my family, or just be by myself. And he understands.

My wife and I are together most of every day. We obviously live together, but we are also blessed enough that we work together in everything we are involved in, so the majority of every moment is spent together.

I often find it amusing when people "need their space" from their boyfriend or girlfriend. Yes, we all need private time, and we should respect each other when we need it. If I need some time to be alone, my wife respects that as well as my respecting hers. There needs to be an understanding. Some people can't be together with their significant other all the time, it's something that baffles me.

My bf and I see each other everyday unless he is away from my town and in different town or different country cause of work!

Weekdays we usually see each other from, 5/6pm-9/10pm I guess...
Friday is 5/6pm-11/12pm/am
But on the weekend, I see him everyday as well. from like 9/10am-11-12pm/am

But when I move and when he move closer to me, I would be spending more time with him!

For me, we can't spend enough time together. Except from God who is more important to me that her, she is everything to me and my time is best spend with her. Even if it's only through computers since we live 4000 miles apart.

 

[Windmill]

During school: Uhm, we spend 7 hours together at school (we share all but one class as luck would have it!) for 5 days a week. Then sometimes Sunday too.. come over 11am, stay until 5ish sometimes until 10.

Holidays, not as much time, about 1-2 days a week on average, as I have lots of other people to see and what not and our sources of getting to see each other are limited... this does not include group events.

Then, there is of course, the hours spent on the computer/phone

 

[The Julikenz]

Occasionally I catch him once through the week for a few hours, we often spend two days out of: friday, saturday, sunday, monday together. Sometimes we just go out with friends for a friday night, and then go our own ways to work/study. It really does vary.

Generally chat most days on MSN though

 

[Mrs. Luther073082]

This past month we talked 1075 minutes on the phone (that's about 35 minutes a day). We also IM every day and do the webcams about 3 times per week or more if time permits (usually we on on the webcams 30-60 minutes at a time).

(FYI it is a long distance relationship).

I would say that my SO and I are inseparable most of the time. We go to the same school, we eat lunch and dinner together most days. We got to the same church and we hang out with the same crowd of friends, with a few exceptions. We see each other about 6-10 hours a day. I won't say that we don't argue or bicker, but we love each other's company.

 

[ladyinwaiting16]

we try to spend a day or even a evening or 2 together on the weekend due to he works away from home and is gone mon thru thurs.

 

[SnarphBlat]

Usually about 4 or 5 hours on a weekend. But sometimes we go two weeks without seeing eachother.
He lives 2 and a half hours away from me. But he recently surprised me on Wendesday with Chicken noodle soup and crackers at my dorm because I was sick! It was the sweetest thing.

 

[somethingBEAUTIFUL]

Since I first posted this, my boyfriend and I have gotten to where we spend more time together if it's possible. We hang out with friends and family, as well as just the two of us.
He has mentioned it a few times before, but now I can truthfully say that I could see him every single day, and not get tired of it. I love being with him so very much!

 

[NotHardcore]

In Person: I see him from about 3:30pm to 10 or 11 pm Wednesday nights, about 3:30 pm to 11pm or a bit past midnight Friday nights, most Saturdays for however long we can, and from about 8am to 11pm a few days a week during weeks we have off from school.

Not in Person: On the days we can't see each other, we send at least one text message to eacxh other, have at least one short phone conversation, and talk for at least an hour on instant messenger.



He lives about 45 miles away, so we don't get to see each other as often as we would like.

 

[~BelovedDaughter~]

Tim and I are together quite a bit and everyday, in fact. We've gotten very close lately and I can't imagine a day without him...

 

[Blank123]

not nearly enough... we're in an LDR so time together is very limited. We get together for a week or so every couple of months but when we're apart we're always talking to each other all the time, usually every day for several hours.

i honestly can't imagine there being such a thing as spending too much time together. I mean sure we all need our space every now and then but if you can't handle being together more than a couple days a week... how the heck is a marriage ever going to work?
