I am wanting to know whether it is considered healthy/unhealthy to want to spend all your spare time with your spouse. that is not actually wanting to go otherplaces (other than work)not been able to spend the nite at a friends place because you miss your spouse..calling the other at work nearly every day and just to talk not actually for any particular reason.<P>now ive had ppl tell me that even married couples need time out for themselves to have their own circle of friends otherwise the relationship gets stale...<P>i am just wanting other ppls views on this

I wanted to spend time with my H. He gave me the 'need time to self' argument. I fell for it.<P>Now we're divorcing. And it's because of the things that he was doing when I wasn't around.<P>~Amy

I think it is good to have some balance...a lot of time together is great, but some outside friends too.<P>However, the trouble often comes when free time gets short (kids, jobs, etc.) and the freetime with friends is protected at the loss of lots of quality couple-time...that really needs to be protected & cherished...<P>
