I am in a marriage where I never get tired of spending time with my husband even if we are working at our separate desks or running errands together. This is new for me because in my past relationships I craved time alone and used to make plans to get time away from my partners. I am very independent and have always enjoyed my time alone but in my current marriage and I am matched very well so that I can be myself when I am with my husband.

Do you ever need time away from your partner? Is there such a thing as too much time together with your partner?  How independent is your seventh house?  Do you ever need to shake your  partner and get away to be you?

When I take the trash out.............. that is my man time....... that is when I get intouch with my most basic self and give out a roar............ then all is well and I am ready to be together again.

LMAO, VA. :)

VA you never fail to crack me up!  

To answer the question, I joke that I don't live well with others.  It's true, though.   I need my space and I only see each of my partners once weekly.  My other friend that I date I see maybe every couple weeks.  But with dance and everything it adds up to 3 date nights and 2 dance nights per week - I need the other two nights for Crafty time.

Edit to add this:  I couldn't spend those five nights with one person.  I have done it, and it chafed me.  I need the diversity and I need my hobbies.  (I've never said I was a simple woman.)

God, yes, there's such a thing.

Yes, I need lots of "me" time.

The cusp of my seventh house is in Aquarius, 'nuff said. Though most of the house is in Pisces, but still, Aqua fits better.

In fact, all my life I've been completely failing at the Libra partnering thing, I'm a loner all the way.

Oh yes.

I definitely think alone time and being with your own friends is much better. There needs to be lots of breathing room for me. I don't want my partner to end up my life. I don't want to see them ALL DAY. haha. Just who I am.

I'd like a partner who liked the same or at least respected that's what I need.

I'd say some people can tolerate more together time than others, but I'd say everyone still needs a break every once in a while to go do something alone or thing will get stale.

Oh absolutely , I can deal with it better than most but I still get driven up the wall at times too. Being partnered is natural for me but I relish my alone time. I need my hobbies too, I don't have to leave the house to do most of them either but I am given space and quietude.i wouldn't be taking too many pictures if I was encroached upon. My creative time is sacred to me, his 7th house aqua cusp understands :)

Yes and no.

I need me time, but I don't have to be completely alone to do it.  My partner can be in another room or in the same room being quiet, but it still counts as "me" time if I'm doing my own thing.  Does that make sense?  So reading while someone else also reads or watches TV or whatever counts as alone time to me, even though we're together.

I have had partners, though, that made me want to be ALONE-alone after X amount of time together.  Those never lasted very long.  ;)

I have a 12th house sun, it's squ. pluto, we can go deep and submerge from the world for a time (or my gemini venus says we can go be sparkly exploring out in the real world).  But it doesn't matter who you are (s.o., my kids, my Mom, my bff, my sister etc you get the idea) at some point, I will need some alone time to refresh/replenish my inner self.  Of course I see that this has something to do with the fact that even these important people in my life are not able to refresh/replenish me.  I don't leave that job up others, it's too important ;)

omg yes. There's reason for me dating partners who live a distance away lol. My friends are my rock, I would never neglect them due to a relationship.

Second, this is the feminist in me, I don't want to be DEPENDENT emotionally or financially on my partner, ever. I want to be deeply in love, but I need to have my own life that empowers me. The thought of being able to "not go on" after a loss of a partner is utterly depressing. 

Oh yes I need my alone time from my partner. I needed so much with my last boyfriend, that we had separate homes, in two different parts of town. It worked for me. I have a 7th house Uranus opposite Sun/Moon, and sextile Mars so....I need a lot of breathing room.

Preferably either in a really big house with two bedrooms (one for me so I can maintain a sense of individuality within the partnership, and keep my stuff/furniture in there that I love), or two seperate homes in the beginning of the relationship.

On one side of my family, I made up a saying based on observation of my relatives; "Proximity kills." And it's true for the most part. 

Sometimes, yes.  I mean, we're very close, we spend a LOT of time together.  But sometimes I need alone time to decompress.  It's nothing against him.

I love being with my husband and have gone long periods of time together 24/7 and loved it.

Annalisa I relate to your comment, a lot. I love spending time with my partner, too. More so than any other person I've been with.
