Do you need to miss your partner to truly appreciate them?

[lilyanony1]

It's great when you find someone so interested they want to talk all the time.
But do you ever feel like it will burn out quickly so you need a little distance to meet and then really appreciate them?

[RobT312]

Sure.. there are times when down time is good. I think everyone needs that.
but in Most working relationships, most couples want to be with each other as much as possible. I live with my girlfriend and during covid we were with one another 24-7. I loved that!
If you need space in your relationship, either you are very independent or it’s not the right guy

[Andres77]

It's stresses the lack... and the yearning.
It's not necessary but it certainly whets the desire for their return

[lilyanony1]

I've not lived with anyone since I left my parents at 19.
I've never even been in a relationship long enough to have things moved into each others place. And my relationships have never been one including family and friends so I'm not familiar with that set up!
I find myself feeling a little suffocated now I've met someone interested in having that kind of relationship with me.

[Andres77]

Take it slow... and do a thorough background check.
Good luck, hun.

[lilyanony1]

That's funny.
He's backing off as I told him to slow down... Which is really nice. 😊👍🏾

[Andres77]

All the best...👍👍👍

For me personally, I have to have the chance to miss you. Or it won't work for me. Space is sooo important to me. I feel suffocated easily. And while if I'm into, I do enjoy talking all the time, I also am okay with not talking for most of the day.

I don't think so. But usually when I like someone I tend to stay away from them for a while so they don't feel bothered by me.

[lilyanony1]

I think it's ashame you think you're bothering them but I have always followed the principle of trying to allow the other person to show their interest in me. Only because I wouldn't want to be humiliated (I was bullied in the past) I need to know they want me around. But for the first time I have someone that wants to be around me 24/7 and its intense. It's not that I don't like them I just feel like I'm a little consumed by them. So I asked them to slow down a little with the contact. I'd never not respond but I do need a little time for me. So far it seems to be working.

[menina]

I like your approach and it's great that you found someone who wants you around. I just don't want to be a pain the ass.

[lilyanony1]

I completely understand xx

[silkjames]

At first yeah then you both get to that stage u both never want to be apart that's when u know well u both know u both don't ever want to let go just go for it a person u trust and know each other secrets is hard to find a person that love u how u are that's what's up ok I'm taking to much lol

[DizzyDesii]

Being gone doesn't make me appreciate them more. It builds toward forgetting them. Of course i like personal space a few hours a day. But do i need to be apart from a partner for actual days? No. I’ll move on easily no matter how i love i am

[DizzyDesii]

*how in love i am

[NathanDavis]

nope... that would be quite immature for me to do

also... I never really get tired or bored from greatness

[TrueConfection]

No, but there are days I'd like to give that a try! 😈

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, If I had a girl, I would miss her at all times, I feel both couples should give space
when it feels like it's needed to be.

[Alextry]

I guess so, or even hope so. I'm getting quite tired of my partner to the point I don't even want to have sex with her anymore. And i used to be the kind of person that would have sex 2 or 3 times a day if I could. I feel so sad

[lilyanony1]

Ahh that's a shame I think you should have a word with her

[Alextry]

It is but at the least I say something or I say no to sex whenever she wants it gets mad at me because I do not love her and I'm cheating on her

[lilyanony1]

Sounds like this might be the end of the road

[Alextry]

I already thought about it a lot of times and specially when there is a discussion. But then I feel unable to finish everything. Sometimes I hate having feelings

[RealMarek]

I don’t think so. I’ve found that in a healthy relationship we don’t need a break from each other.

[Playboy2424]

Who have that much time to think?
Just follow fuck & forget policy.

[AlwaysBelieving]

It depends on how much distance.

[Naughtyboy71]

I miss you want you but can't have you

[In_Trance]

i don't think so
