I'm from the crowd that doesn't want to spend all of my time around the one I love. We drive each other nuts. But, when we are together, it's wonderful.
I think almost every relationship ends up going through at least one period of time where you spend a lot of time together (and want to) and periods where you want a little more alone time or time with friends. My again-ex and I tend to do The Intimacy Dance more than any other couple I know... One pulls back a little, the other leans in, circle in close to each other and rotate out again. We're currently on the Out Circle again after driving each other crazy when we were both a little too bored and a little too complacent. I enjoy my time away from him. It doesn't mean I don't miss him, but sometimes I don't want to be around him for a little while. And I love him with all my heart.
My favorite phrase? "Just let me miss you for a bit." And when we catch up to each other again, it's sweeter somehow.
