What is the right amount of time?
| Mon, 09-27-2004 - 7:43pm |
I have been seeing someone for about 4 months. He is someone who loves to hang out with his friend's A LOT. That is understandable because before I came into his life he had not dated much or been in a relationship for 3 or 4 years, so he had plenty of free time. I just got out of a 3 year relationship at the beginning of this year. The person I am with now is my first relationship since then. But during my first relationship we were together all the time 24/7, which I think is what tore us apart. Now the guy I am with is not the type of person who wants to be with his girl all the time, and I don't want to be with him all of the time either, but I love seeing him. And when he says he's hanging out with his friend's I get jealous, I know they were there before I was, but I don't tell him that, and I don't want to feel this way, because then he really won't want to spend time with me. But please tell me what you think is the appropriate amount of time to spend together a week without smothering the other person. I am not used to this whole NEW relationship thing, it's been so long. And I really want this to work. I am just not good at this.

Hope I helped,
Rosie
