A Creative (Female, 29-35) asked:


I have been with my boyfriend for 3 months now. We love spending time together when we can. My question is: Is it normal to only spend a couple days together a week? We do text and talk on the phone. Is this normal? Our work schedules conflict a little bit. When he works, he has to stay at the station for the week and there is no way to see him. When he is off, I have to work. I feel like I am going crazy. I do get off work and spend the night with him or he will come over and spend the night with me but I have to work the next day. He is trying to change his schedule so we can be together every other weekend. Let me quess, I just need to keep myself busy, keep the communication going and enjoy the time that we do spend together and if it is meant to be, it will work itself out right? I guess I am just looking for confirmation.

What the two of you are doing as far as seeing one another is far too common across this country. Most especially with married couples. With two people working, and depending on the jobs, it's hard to have a social life. It isn't how much time you spend together... it's what you do with that time that's important. Quality over Quanity. ;0)

There is no normal when it comes to relationships, you do what works best for the two of you, if at this time that only means meeting up twice a week then so be it.

i see my guy about once a month at this point because we are both soooo busy with work and kids and school for me. but we talk a couple times a week and grab a quick lunch when we can. as long as it is not strictly sex then you should be okay as long as you can deal with it. if you are not content and happy the way things are then YOU have decide if it is normal. normal for a relationship is what works for that relationship.

Only you can decide what makes you happy in a relationship. It sounds like you both have the desire to keep it going, and he is making efforts to modify his schedule. But if a time comes when you are unhappy more often than happy, then you need to decide if the relationship is worth it.
