tainogirl: I know its great being a couple, but people are still individuals with individual interests. There have been men I have spoken to who have complained that their women expect them to spend almost all their time with them. That they fail to understand that men need alone time too. Whether just to spend time by themselves in reflection or in engaging in activities or hobbies they enjoy by themselves or with other men - without women present. According to them a lot of women fail to realise this and feel that if they say they need to be alone then it must mean that the realtionship is in trouble. How true is this guys?
100% true
But so do women, so do all humans.

coolieno1: ah yes baita let me explain, when man work from monday to friday and after work they does get thirsty, so we stop by a bar an have a few drinks before we come home with our friends, to some women thats not a problem but then there are some women when a certain time past an they ain't see there man, they does start to get angry an if we take of our cell phone worse again, you know what am talking about. so yes when men get a chance to be alone we damn well take it an let we drink we rum in peace.

solitare: Some may feel this way, after all the so called 'me time' to them means 'no me' time and unfortunately many are too oriented to 'me, me, me'. That is a sure sign of immaturity.
If the people know each other well before they actually become a 'couple' and live together, then neither party should be surprised, disappointed or feeling sad when either one goes into 'me time' for their hobby, reflection or activities that they have done long before they met. It does not indicate by itself that their relationship is in any 'trouble' at all, depending, of course, on the circumstances. If the relationship has been good to fantastic, there is , or should not be any problems; if the relationship has been less than 'good', any new 'me time' could be taken as something defensive and therefore somewhat worrying if communication is neglected or awkward. Keeping communication open and honest is a key to a good relationship. It is vital to understand each other be it 'me time' or 'us time'....the relatioship does not, nor should have a limited amount of time; it should have all the time in the world...to grow and let love grow.

In my opinion every relationship the man and woman needs to do activities together. They also need to do things apart. Finding the right mixture of together and apart is the tricky part.
The two doesn't have to be equal in time frame, but both need to feel that they are getting what they need and don't have ill feelings toward the other for what that person does in the away time.

Does that mean the woman cooks & the man eats---the woman cleans & the man messes things up?

tainogirl: I'm not somebody that likes being smothered. I usually have a lot of stuff to read and when I do take up a paintbrush to do my art I like to be alone to do it. I have no problems being on one side of the house doing my thing and he on the other. I'm not that insecure. Go out have your fun, it just means we will have lot to catch up on when we get together again. Balance is the key.
VG post
Sounds like you have the perfect attitude and balance. The majority here will of course agree and state that same requirement of a close partner, but in reallity sometimes that confidence is fake. Internally there can be intense insecurity, perhaps from a growing of the love ... who knows, but I have experienced life under a dictatorship. Ya, zees it troooooo ....... boo hoo

I think both men & women need some alone time, it's just nice to get some space to yourself at times. Isn't that why the good lord invented shopping malls (for the ladies) and sports (for the men)?
