How much space should there be between two people that are married and/or live together, and what would you say are the "do's" and "don't's?"
What suggestions do you have for navigating through space/privacy issues? My own father accused me of giving my men "too much" space and rope!
So what's fair?
I don't think there is a one answer that fits all in regards to how much space to give in a relationship. What one couple may consider too much space another couple may consider not enough or just right. I think as long as the people involved are happy and getting their needs met and are satisified with the space they have with each other then it's cool. If I'm with someone, I like spending time with them on a regular basis, but I also like time for myself and my projects and other things I have going on in my life. My SO would have to be cool with that. (And he is). I can't stand if a guy is too clingy and checking up on me and expecting me to call in nightly. If I feel that I'm obligated to 'report in, then I sometimes balk'.
