Spending too much time together.

[Mr SIBLEY]

I'm curious about this, does it harm a relationship.

 

By too much time I mean, everyday, any spare time available to both of you.

 

I can understand it could lead to neglecting other friends. But is it too much of a good thing etc.?

 

Thanks in advance.

I think in the early stages it can be a balancing act. . . .

When to make yourself available and when not to.

I definitely think that it can harm a relationship. I think either one or the other starts to get irritated and that can cause problems.

In and of itself, it's not good or bad. It's all relative to who's involved. Someone people like spending all their time together, some feel smothered and need lots alone time. Most find a happy medium.

 

Instead of asking if it's a good thing, figure out if it bothers you. If it doesn't, there's your answer; and if it does, well, there's your answer too.

Depends on whether you have equal appetites for it or not. Usually it's bad, because one person wants it more than the other, then the other starts pulling back because they feel smothered, and the person that wants it gets upset too, which can make them pull away even more. Remember, that appetites change overtime, depending on how fast your brain develops tolerance for the love hormones.

I agree that it really depends on the people involved. If you both find that you truly want to spend all of your time together (and it's not based on insecurity, neediness, etc), I say go for it.

 

I just think in doing so, make sure you aren't neglecting other aspects of your life.
