If you’re in a relationship, or have been, is it normal to feel like you need some time away from the other person?

Question

Answer

It depends what you mean by « time away ». 
I for one, love doing stuff on my own. I need my space and can’t always be with my SO doing the same thing. BUT we always have supper together and I won’t go away for a few days « just cause I need space ». 
If you mean taking « breaks » where you’ll not see eachother (if you live together) just because you are not getting along or w.e... than no that’s not a sign of a healthy relationship if you ask me.

Answer

okay so people just don't realize this I guess... a relationship consists of two people (in most cases. don't get mad at me please. it's just easier to explain my point with 2). Two separate, different people. Each with their own interests, pet peeves, hobbies, etc. Not everything is going to be a situation/experience/etc for BOTH of you to do TOGETHER. Compromise is definitely needed in a relationship but not everything is. If you bend too much you break. that's when resentment, anger, "you've changed, you're not the person I fell in love with" blah blah blah happens. you have to stay yourself and grow in your own person doing what you like and enjoy. same with your SO. Basically imagine you're a plant. and you have another plant next to you. you're your own person (plant) and you intertwine with that other one. they don't merge together. they stay separate but grow together and hold each other up. it's okay to need some alone time. you NEED alone time. you NEED to stay your own person.
hopefully you understand what I'm saying lol❤️

Answer

Definitely. My husband and I spent like 5 days straight together 24/7 and I was so happy for him to go back to work lol.

Answer

we both enjoy having bthe house to ourselves occasionally. I lived alone for a long  time before he moved in, it was hard to adjust to someone being in my home all the time and even all these years later I still love my alone time

Answer

we are super velcro couple so we spend every moment together 
but plenty of ppl need “me” time so will want to do their own thing and spend an afternoon away from home/partner

Answer

o yes totally normal! I love my husband we've been together since we were 17 and we're in our 30s now. We spend a lot of time together but I love the times away from him too. If we're together too much he gets on my nerves lol. It's impossible not to have these feelings at some point or another as the years go by.
