I'm not sure that this is phrased correctly. I say that as of course it is unhealthy to spend too much time as it would be unhealthy or unwise to do anything too much. The real question I think is how much is too much time and that will vary from couple to couple.

maybe, both should spend some time apart so when you meet again you can reconnect in a bigger way.

There is a saying. 'Familiarity breeds contempt.' Although perhaps 'contempt' is too stronger word?

I believe so, you need to have an identity away from him as well as one with him. Having a girls day.night out is healthy once in awhile just as him having a boys night out is needed as well. Too much time together can also make each of you take each other for granted :)

Probably. My husband works out of our home and at his shop across the street from our home. We are ALWAYS together, except for when I go do stuff on my own. I'm a domestic goddess though so Im pretty much home all of the time. It took us about a year to get use to being together so much, we had alot of fights and were annoyed with each other. Not everyone could survive the life we live I can say that much. We are doing well now and I have realised how lucky I truly am to have my husband here with me whenever I want him to be, if he starts to get on my nerves I just send him across the way :)~ I think us being together so much has strenghtened our bond alot irregardless of my dependence on him.

I think the answer varies, some people do need time apart, but I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and If you add up all the days we have not seen each other it would probably be 3 weeks, besides when i go to florida for 10 days. We spend everyday together after school, we hangout with the same friends, we do everything together. Honestly we are better off together than apart. So like i said it varies. i hate it when people are like they are together too much they are going to get sick of each other. Its not like that for everyone, i love my significant other so much i want to be with him all the time. He feels the same way.

Too much of everything is not good.

Only if you don't enjoy their company. I would spend 24/7 with mine if I could.

Yes,I had a girlfriend who wanted to be around me 24/7 and it was quite annoying.

I think it's great to spend time a part cause you well always have fresh things to talk about and it's very healthy to miss your partner. You don't want to be like that old couple you see when your out for dinner do you? unno, the couple that sits there and just looks around cause they have nothing to talk about!
-
Yes. You have to spend time apart or you will get bored. Imagine trying to tell your s/o about your day and you can't tell them anything they don't already know. I get testy when I am around the same person all the time. I need down time to recharge.
-
Yes I really think so ... spending too much time with them may eventually change their status to an INsignificant other... lol
-
You need to spend SOME time apart, since you are different perople. Foster some interests that are purposefully different from your s/o. If you agree on everything, and do all the same things, then your relationship will become boring.

Yes. 24/7 is a bit much. I know my honey likes her personal time and she allows me many freedoms (hence AB!). Lucky is the couple that finds that good balance of time together.

I would have to say that you need to define what you mean by too much time.

I've heard so.
