as long as you are honest and faithful it doesn't matter if your apart alot,cus living in each others pocket kills a good relationship,getting space is a good thing.

I agree a 24/7 relationship is suffocating and sometimes scary. If you work a 9 to 5 like I do I have my weekends and occassional evenings for someone in my life. I don't want to be tied to the end of a phone or computer waiting for someone. There is life outside a relationship.

I seem to be at the opposite end of the rainbow here.

I would give anything to find a partner who wants to live together 24/7 and work from home together. I absolutely abhor the lifestyle where you're apart all day only to come home at night and compare notes. Definitely not for me! I want to share life with someone, not give just share a condensed abstract of it after the fact.

Of course, I don't mean that 24/7 too literally, I'm sure there would be times when we'd each go off and do our own things too. But that would be the exception rather than the rule.

I actually know several couples who live together 24/7 and work together at home. In fact, the ones I know have the most intimate and close-knit relationships of anyone I know. They exhibit more playfulness, and open intimacy than the people I know who live separate work lives.

So I'll take the stay-at-home woman over one who's married to a career any day. Stay-at-home women also seem to me to be more down-to-earth and happier with the simple things in life too. Just my perspective.

Just for the record Tracy, I don't drink, and I don't get jealous.

Also, I think working from home is a whole lot differnt than being out of work or having no job. Staying home because a person has no job can be depressing and boring.

People who work from home are busy, busy, busy! It's all constructive positive stuff. Can be very rewarding. ;o)

I agree; you can't be around someone constantly. You will start to dislike them eventually and your communication will suffer. When that happens the relationship will die soon after. You have to find a balance between independence and time with your mate.

There are never any absolutes in life. People are different.

I know quite a few couples that are together basically 100% of the time. Some of them work from home so they are home together all the time. Others actually have a business together so they run to the business together during the day and then go home together at night. Those couples are actually the happiest of any couples I know.

So it all depend on the persons involved. I would do very well with a 100% live-in mate working together from home. But it's not going to work if she's not the kind of person who would also enjoy that lifestyle. It has to be what both partners want.

I have been on both sides. I have worked outside the home in gainful employment. It taught me self reliance, confidence in my ablities apart from the natural ones of wife, mother, housekeeper, home organizer, cook, bottle washer and diaper changer....

I've worked in a family run business, milking cows, feeding calves, and still managing the house, children. I worked half my/our wedding day and a half day the day of the funeral. It was also an eight year learning experience.

Now that I have some grown children with babies of their own. I know the value of having a "mommy at home" vs."day care". So, I've chosen the duties of raising children over that of a work outside the home. There are times when I wished I could just clock in and clock out at the end of the day. I suppose every mother does.

I think that finding time for your mate is important. Work is work but family will be there long after the work is gone. Sometimes a candlelight dinner was Him, Me and 5 children around the table...all twinkle eyed by the dazzle of the candles and the good china.

Prioities... that's the key....
Make what is important to you first.... the rest will fall into line...Quality not quanity...

When I had it 24/7 I loved it; it felt so alive! When the times had to be divided and I left one job, I never took it as a "second job" in comming home and taking care of our children; it was always a cherished time, very limited, never to come again. I looked at it all rather differently than most, it had always been something I wanted. Just a shame it had to end....
