if you have your own interests , friends and hobbies...then this shouldnt happen ...i like my own space.

the woman plays cards with her little old lady friends and the man sits at the club and smokes cigars and drinks whiskey all day...hahahahahahaha

I believe moderation IS healthy. It is to easy to lose who we are getting caught up in relationships/school/work/kids... it all becomes consuming of our soul. EVERYONE needs time to breathe away from their constants in life. It's what keeps balance and individualism in each of us.

I concur!!

Agreed Deb.... you should be confident as an individual that you have outside interests that makes you more 'well rounded' which adds to the relationship.... and communication is a huge part of it....

When someone is grasping for an oxygen mask!

YES and when your think of ways they might just vanish

so if your lover is watching back to back law and order and csi's hide the knifes, blech and anything sharp

when she starts looking like a klingon from star trek.

yeah, it can. and shell let you kno when it does juss lol

ya like " Get outta my face?"

Hey Klingons can be kinda sexy

ya and only at night!!!

Worf: Klingons do not allow themselves to be... probed.

Worf on Star Trek gave the young Wesley excellent advice on love, which we could all do with following:

Worf: “AAAAAAAUUUUURRRGGGGHHHH! That is how a Klingon lures a mate.”
Wesley: “Are you telling me to yell at Salia?”
Worf: “No, no, no. Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects. And claw at you.”
Wesley: “What does the man do?”
Worf: “He reads love poetry. He ducks a lot.”
Wesley: “Worf, it sounds like it works great for the Klingons, but… I need to try something a little less… dangerous?”
Worf: “Go to her door, beg like a human.”

For me, that point came when I was married and my wife wouldn't let me go to work unless I brought her with me. I could do that because of the job I had at that time, but it was damned awkward having her around, what with all the other (less insanely possessive) girls that were there, too....

Ahh, those were the days....the days I felt like jumping in front a train....

Thank God that Al Gore invented the divorce....

I think you can get sick of ANYONE with too much togetherness, although... I can tell when I need some space, so at that point I have the option of sucking it up and gettting more irritated or saying something.

That's where people go wrong, they don't communicate their needs. and that's when the restraining order comes in!

I pefer to spend as much time together naked in bed as possible.

Seriously, though... it's much better for "couples" to still also be individuals. We both had our own interests and friends before we met, and there's no reason that has to change unless someone is insecure.
