should this be happening with my boyfriend?

my advice is to NOT compare your relationship to others...or have expectations of "how" it "should" be. Every relationship is unique. Some men are happier having their alone time. My boyfriend and I (in the beginning) hardly saw each other on the weekends..and maybe twice a week. We've been dating for a year now and I told him recently that I need to spend more time with him and if wasn't willing to compromise (by doing stuff with me) then I was going to move on. Your boyfriend should want to spend time with you, but its totally healthy to have your own lives/hobbies. Relationships are what you make them. If you both are happy, then who cares how often you spend time? Don't compare and just be true to yourself. If it really bothers you, talk to him. Communication is most important. Depending on how he reacts, then you can make a decision...if he says "absolutely not" then I'd be concerned he was cheating or had someone else on the side, but if he's willing to spend more time wiht you because you asked and he knows its important to you, then thats good. If he is weird about it or cold to you, I'd be turned off and suspiscious. Just remember to stay true to yourself and know that all relationships are different.

yes its good to have schedules and time apart. if you dont seperate yourselves often then you will get bored of eachother very fast and start arguing more often. keep it that way. trust me, once you start seeing them everyday, the relationship gets old after a few months
