Are you sure you want to be in a relationship? Because you seem to love spending time with yourself more than you do with your partner. Not that alone-time is a bad thing, but for a relationship to work, you must actually be in the same room together for more than five minutes. Of course, if your desire to go it alone doesn’t have a negative impact on your relationship, who are we to judge? Just make sure that you and your partner are on the same page.

Well done! You seem to have found just the right balance between your relationship with yourself and your relationship with your partner. And that’s crucial to long-term happiness and ensuring the success of your relationships. Keep up the good work.

It’s difficult to see where you begin and your partner ends. Yes, you’re in love and want to spend as much time together as possible, but it isn’t healthy to shut out everyone else around you and fix all your attention on only one person. It may not be an issue in the beginning of a relationship, but eventually you could run the risk of smothering your partner, and
in doing that, pushing him or her away.
