As much or as little as you want. Hopefully you still have your own friends too

Find the balance that works for you. Are you missing out on other things that you want to do because you are hanging out with your partner? Do you feel like you still have your own identity and not just adjusting them to fit his so you can have more time together? Etc.

I’ll preference this by saying that I never want my partner to become a part of my identity, just an extension of it. Widely unpopular way of thinking and people find it to be selfish but it’s important for me to make sure that I’m finding happiness in my own ways bc I am all I have at the end of the day.

At that point in my relationship w/ similar ages we spend most of each weekend together and maybe 1 night during the week. Always kept time for separate friend outings but the “default” with no other weekend plans was that we were together.

That’s how it works for me though- I have friends who like more time to themselves and even a year in only spend one weekend night with their SO. It’s very much what works for you.

Saturdays, 7pm - 1am
Sundays, 12pm - 3pm
Mondays - Tursdays, 7pm - 9pm
Fridays, 7pm - 11pm

Hah - I was living with my now husband at 6 months together.

I think whatever works for you both, and what you both feel comfortable with. I’d also try to make sure you both maintain separate hobbies you enjoy, so that you have something separate from each other.
