I'm quoting this text from a response ShaniFaye wrote in another post, and I decided to start another convo regarding this, to hear everyone's thoughts..i don;t want to hijack another thread lol..

Personally, I disagree with the statement.
I can love someone to death, but still need my space and alone time, or time doing other things (either by myself or with other people)

I think it's healthy not to always be with your SO 24/7.
At least for me, personal space and liberty is very very important!!!!

I think loving someone in the true sense of the word, means that you also respect their needs and space. Otherwise, for me at least, the result is a "drowning effect".. for lack of a better word..

what are your thoughts about this?
I mean, does loving someone mean that you have to be all over them all the time? Does it mean you DON'T love them if you want to spend some time alone or with friends? Everytime I tell my BF that I need some space or want to see some friends (because every free second I have I spend with him, he gets all offended, and doesn;t understand me..)
