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!

Do you and your fiancé(e) spend time apart? Never, always, or sometimes?

    Sometimes! He goes to the gym most days and I go to pilates, so we each get our "me time".

    He works full time while I’m finishing college. We love our time together, but also make sure to have our own guys and girls night. It’s easier right now for me because I live with my best friends.

    Hm, sometimes? We don't live together, so we don't see each other every day.

    Sometimes. Not often though, we usually go most places together. But he'll go over to his friends' houses, or I'll go out.

    Right now we don’t live together so we only see each other in the weekends so it’s kind of hard. The weekdays are rough. I miss him and I know he misses me when we don’t see each other for so long.

    Always! We do live together but both fly for a living so we will go weeks without actually seeing each other. It has always been like this for us so it's just all we know. We take a lot of time off to spend together and our schedules do line up sometimes but we both like the space. We are both extremely independent also. We miss each other when we are apart and always make communication #1 in our relationship.

    Personally I'm not sure it's healthy for couples to spend all their time together. It's good to have guys/girls night out or a hobby or whatever.

    Too much right now Smiley sad We only get to see each other on the weekends because of our work schedules. We're moving in together in December, but I'm worried that he'll get tired of seeing me more often like he did before.

    Sometimes we like to spend time apart. We have been living together for the past 3 years. We love spending as much time together as we can. But, there are days where we like to do our own thing. When I say we do our own thing, I mean by, he plays video games in the living room while I watch movies or tv in our bedroom.

    Yes, it necessary.

    I told him when we started out that he needs to spend time with his friends. I am not a Homebody and would continue going out to spend time with family and friends. If I could make time while taking care of my Mom, then I would still be “doing me”.

    Sometimes, we spend time apart but at the same place if that makes sense, and sometimes he will go out with a friend to the movies.

    Sometimes? I mean, we have an interesting situation. He works out in the oilfield, on a 2-week-on-1-week-off schedule. So we go two weeks at a time without seeing each other. While we have no problems working on hobbies or hanging out with friends (though most of his friends are over here with me) during that 2-week period, when he's home on his week off we really try to spend every waking moment together. The only time we really spend any time apart is when I'm working, and he's forced to do stuff without me, lol.

    We actually spend most of our time apart due to our opposite work schedules. We also will not be living together until we are married. 8 MONTHS TO GO!
