opinions???

My boyfriend wants me to invite to most/all of the things I do. He says he would do the same for me. Sometimes I want separation and wanna just be with my friends, but I don't want him to feel bad or thinke I'm doing something bad. Suggestions on how to tackle this? Anecdotes? Tips? Share whatever experience you may have with this. Is separation normal? Or is it normal to be with your partner that much and attend everything with them? Just throwing this out here so I can get some insight.
