I voted live with because she basically does. :) Probably around 18 hours a day.

And yes, talking cutsey to eachother comes with the territory...

You'll understand one day. :p

That's the whole point of this thread! :p When we go home over winter break, he didn't hang out with our best friend back home at all! They were together for 3 whole weeks even though she practically lives with him now. I miss hanging out with my friend when she's not around. *shrug* It's like she automatically wins because she has a vagina. I can accept that but still would like to be doing fun things with him and our friends every now and then.

You've never had a girlfriend, have you?

Christ man. He likes her, that's all that matters.

Jealous?! I wouldn't touch the whore with a ten foot pole, let alone her personality drives me up the wall. My roommate has officially lost his man card IMHO since he doesn't do anything but cater to her wishes. She commands the entire relationship. He thinks I joke when I ask him how it feels to be the woman in the relationship.

To those people who replied 4-5 or 5+ hours, how do you have a life outside of that person if you essentially hang out with them all day. Unless you don't have a job or don't attend school, I'm not sure how 4-5 hours a day would allow you any time alone. Do you consider yourself whipped? If not, you should. If you reply "but I want to be with her all the time", then you've got bigger issues.

You must be single...

Ok, you have officially been moved down to the stupid end of the totem pole.

It isn't your relationship, stay out of it. They are not keeping you inside against your will all day. You have no say. It doesen't matter. It has nothing to do with your life. You are including yourself in their relationship. Butt out.

Although, I can understand your concern about her controlling the relationship. ;) But if he is happy, it doesen't matter. If she's an evil bitch, he'll learn.

I don't really understand your second paragraph at all. Isn't the point of a relationship to integrate your lives?

I mean, of course it's going to work differently for each relationship, but in my eyes, and in my relationship.. the whole point of a relationship is being with eachother.

Sure, you go off and go to work or go to school, but we still come home to eachother and spend all our spare other time together. That is my life, why would we need "alone time" unless you don't get along very well or something? WTF is wrong with wanting to spend all my time with her? She's my best friend, we have fun together.

You have a fscked up view of how a relationship is supposed to work, IMO.


Fortunately.. It isn't like that for my girlfriend at all, I control everything.. :D:evil:

Married/live together

I'd say 14 hours a day (8 hours work, 2 hours commuting & miscellaneous).

I ask this question since my roommate and his bitch of a girlfriend are constantly together. They've been going out for more than a year and a half and they still are together at least 5 hours a day. If they aren't, she whines like a goddamn five year old and says she doesn't see him enough. So how much time do you spend with your SO every day? This does not apply to married people and I would actually prefer responses from college-aged people since the couple is 19 and 20 years old.

Also, do you talk like idiots to each other? Here's an example conversation between them :

Her : "I's gotta go potty" (in like a 10 year old voice)
Him : "I's not ready to go downstairs yet"
Her : "Wahhhhhhhh" ( she serious whines like a 5 year old throwing a goddamn tantrum and screams at the top of her lungs )
Him : "Fine."
Her : "You don't want to take me. (big pouty face)"
Him : "Aww, you want some snuggles?"

I swear to God, every time they say "I's" or something stupid like that, I want to beat their asses into the mental state of the voice they're immitating. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TWENTY AND TALKING LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD?! NOBODY SHOULD BE TALKING LIKE THIS, EVER!! Normal people don't do this, correct? I just want to be clear on that.

I see mine every morning for a few minutes usually before work,I usually dash to the gym after work,we'll have supper and a bit of convo while he watches tv and I play on the computer.Days off we usually walk to the gym together but pursue separate workouts.We do usually go out to a movie or to eat a couple times a month and we shop together fairly frequently.In warmer weather we go out quite a bit more.He's an earlier riser than I am most days and I'm more of a night owl but it's all good,everybody needs that precious bit of alone time to sort their thoughts,scratch their rump in peace and privacy:)

Well put.

OP: You seem to disallow for the possibility that one's SO can be friends with your friends, hang out and be cool etc. Mine watches football, baseball, and basketball, drinks, etc. We try to spend as much time together as possible and we don't make anyone sick. My friends all like her and like to be around her.

She can also play Links Golf 2004 on Xbox. :) Only lost to me by 3 strokes at Mana Laui...

It's funny because my gf (who lives with me) and i do talk "cutesy" to each other when we're alone (as do a LOT of couples, actually), but it still annoys me when other people do it around me. It's probably because those things are supposed to be done in private. So i feel your pain, agnitrate. You know what's funny, though? You'll probably do the EXACT same thing when you get into a really close relationship. It's kinda like masturbation: Most of us do it, but we don't like to publicly admit it, and we definitely don't enjoy doing it in public or watching other guys do it.

Now as far as spending time with a significant other, that's never going to change, buddy. I live with my girlfriend and she's STILL constantly naggine me about not spending enough time with her. I LIVE with her for godsakes. And i don't even go out with my friends that often! Maybe once a month or every other month. Her thing is that she wants my 100% undivided attention every waking second that i'm not at work. Jesus! As keanu said, "I have a life, and i'm late for it." I love her to death, but i'm a very independent person, and i need my own time to pursue my own dreams.
