Very interesting! Depends on the couple! For us our time apart happens during the day and evenings cause we have our own restrictions so that allows us to thoroughly enjoy our nighttime and morning hangouts
well I am usually at work 11hrs mon-fri so I think I get enough time from here then.
I say being together every chance you get due to conflicting schedules
Some time apart is healthy so you don't feel smothered, but too much time apart is unhealthy. Not being able to fall asleep with my wife and wake up with my wife really sucks. I really miss her bad since I'm working out of town right now.
I don't feel like there is a set time, I love being with him, even relaxing with him so that's fine. I thinks it's more just if you feel you need to be alone for a while that your partner should respect that, I don't think a certain time each week needs to be set
I think the weekly guys night or girls night out is good. I wouldn't want anymore than that. Maybe a couple hours alone to play videogames or screw around in the garage would be good too
For me,at least an hour each day.some days I need a little more alone time.it really depends on the day.
for me none, for her I suspect 6-8 hours daily
depends on how often you see partner and depends on individual. I like our present balance. :)
24 hours
that depends on the relationship and the people in it.
40 - 90 hours
Two or three days a month.
For me I go in waves, sometimes I really want to veg and watch an action movie. Which my wife doesn't like, but I find if I keep pushing my veg time off I can begin to resent my wonderful wife. I am lucky enough to have a wife that is ok with me occasionally going off on my own. I just have as problem giving myself permission before it starts to bug me.
I don't think there is a correct answer to this question.
