Needing alone time. Is it crazy?

Hi, Rick! Turtlegirl here- first night here but have been around DBing for quite a while.

Interesting that you say you are in need of your alone time. I just want to bandwagon on what gabby said...that every healthy R needs to have a balance of time together and time apart.

YOu can't be everything to each other...you need other R's with other people- friends/family... and you need to continue your own interests and hobbies too. So, don't feel guilty--I think you are perfectly validated in wanting alone time!

If you start to prefer alone time (in general) to time spent with your R partner/GF, then I would start to question this a bit!

I am also a person who likes to spend A LOT of time with my partner, but I realize in the new R I am in that it is SO important to maintain that balance.
