I suspect I'd go crazy if I had to spend all my time with my partner (okay, crazier

) and he probably would too. I think you have to strike a balance, and then make the very most of the time on either side - cherish the time you spend together, and relish the time you spend apart. In my view, a relationship is a lot less likely to stagnate if you're both frequently putting something new into it gathered from your experiences out in the wider world doing your own thing.
