New relationships are exciting and couples often spend a lot of
time together getting to know each other. How much is too much time
to spend with someone during a new relationship?
Every couple different. Some couples spend hours on the phone while
others are at each other’s homes most nights of the week. Discuss
expectations when it comes to spending time together. If one
partner feels smothered if may be time to pull back a bit. Couples
can have petty arguments when each person needs some space. Quality
time may win out over the quantity of time you spend
together.
You can tell you’re likely spending too much time together if it
affects other areas of your life. You should still be able to meet
your work obligations, take care of your home and spend time with
other important ion your life. Your focus is understandably on your
love life, but other areas shouldn’t suffer.
