How deep are you in the relationship. Over the first year with my now husband:

First few months - 1-2x a week with the occasional week/weekend going by without seeing each other. In that time we had met each others fam/friends but the groups weren’t integrated so we both had pretty active and eventful lives / careers outside of the relationship.

6-8m mark: more like 2-3x a week but still had the occasional week/weekend apart. Think that’s pretty healthy

Around a year / year and a half it was more of a - we sleeping at your place or mine, but still had some time apart.

I think there are a lot of factors to consider when thinking about what *should* the time together amount to. My husband and I lived about 30m apart. He was downtown with no car, i was in an nearby burb. He had to take the train to work, i was remote. I went to the gym most mornings, he was most nights.

Often it’s logistics that get in the way of spending a ton of time together. It’s when you each start building each other into the logistics that (IMO) denote seriousness.

6 months here, like 2x a week, trying once a week day and then the weekend sleep over.

Every relationship is different but we see each other typically 4-5 days a week

We don't live together, so at least every weekend. Since we are remote it's Thurs - Sun 😊

Been dating for over a year. We see each other every weekend, but during the week it’s anywhere from 1x - 3x a week + the weekends. We both have pretty active lives outside of our relationship so it’s nice to have some time to focus on other goals.

Weekends and maybe during the week

We live together, prior to that we did long weekends (I’d come in Thurs night and leave Sun night), prior to that LDR with 4ish day trips every 3 weeks

Once during week and then Thursday through Sat/Sun depending on plans with friends/work travel

A little less than a yr here but also doing a date night during the week and then sat-sun :)

If we didn’t live so far apart and if I didn’t have a ridiculous hours & traveling job would probably do 4-5x/week

Daily

Pre-Covid, Friday-Sunday sometimes Thursday night-Sunday

Weird. Found out from some confused colleagues that a partner tried to get me kicked off a project that she wanted a role on (she was denied said role). Suspect she wanted me off because she knows I know about her secret tryst with another colleague, which my colleagues don’t know about. Any recommendations on how I navigate these waters and protect myself? I just want to do my job and honestly don’t give af what she does outside office times.
