How much time do you spend with your SO?

[Dannielle]

I''m just wondering how much time you get to spend with your SO?

My SO works in IT and runs end of day proccesses, so he works from 3 until 11, and by the time he gets home it is uaually midnight

He does this Monday through to Friday. I am at university four days a week, but two of those days i''m in there in the afternoon so we get to sleep in and cuddle, have breakfast together and go to the gym. I work on day a week and have weekends off too.

I think we are really lucky how much quality time we get together, even when me schedule is really hectic I love counting down the days to the weekend and knowing that we have two full days together!

(I suppose the fact we live together adds to our time, because otherwise I wouldn''t ever see him through the week)

Our schedules work pretty well together and I think FF and I have enough time to do our own things as well as spending quality time together. Usually we''ll see each other once or twice during the work week and then spend Friday night through Sunday together as well. Sunday is our sleep in and cuddle day unless we have plans. I think we''re both pretty satisfied with the amount of time we spend together.

We spent about 18 hours a day together. We met at work and we still work together. We also live together. It actually works really well for us. When either of us needs to complain about something, we completely understand each other because we know what our jobs entail and who are involved.

Sometimes I think we spend too much time together!!! We commute via car 1.5 hours to and from work each day (most of our arguments start in the car) and we live together...

I spend a fair amount of time with my BF....I always wish for more though b/c I love him sooo much

and I miss him when he''s not around

The one thing that is hard for me is that SO is a part time firefighter

and has to spend the night a the firestation every Sunday. It sucks because I don''t sleep that well when he''s not there...It just feels weird.

We both have a schedule that allows us to take off every other Friday though...It''s really nice to have that extra day on the weekends.

Well we live together, so every evening, night and morning we''re together. He works Saturdays and usually golfs with our dads Sunday mornings, but other than that, together! Man, I need a life. Hahaha.

 

[blondebunny]

Well this past summer we spent every waking moment together, which I loved... But now we are back in school and he is gone 7am-7pm all week and I have classes 6pm-9pm... so it sucks we only see each other when I get home for maybe an hour because he has to go to bed early... We probably have the weekends together when Im not working.. like this weekend I work so it sucks I dont get any time with him and then if we have to study we dont get to spend time together... bcuz I cant study with him around because i just like to watch him lol and talk and cuddle....

BUT this morning I got the sweetest long hug and kisses.. he gave me a hug and kiss and walked away then came back in to huge me for like 5 mins and kiss me I felt so special... hehehe

Usually like 12-14 hrs a day. on weekends, more, but we are just floating in each other's periphery, not necessarily engaged.

 

[Smurfysmiles]

He works a couple days 8am-5:30pm and some 11am-8pm and i only work on weekends fridays 8am-4pm and saturdays 4pm-11pm. he gets a weekday off every week and always has sunday off so we spent a pretty fair amount of time together, especially since we live with each other

My FF works 7-3 and I wok 8:30 till around 6. However, I wake up early with him and go to the gym before work. I don''t usually get home till around 7, except Mondays when I get home around 8:30. So, we end up spending about 4 or 5 awake hours together and 6 or so hours alseep, if we are lucky!

As much as I would like to spend more time together, I do appreciate the hours we have together in the evening and am lucky enough to enjoy him most every weekend!

We live together so we spend A LOT of time together! Even during working hours (he works 8-5 and I normally work 9-ish to 3-ish) we manage to talk on the phone, email or text at least once a day. Before we moved in together (almost 2 years ago) we were doing the long distance thing where he lived over an hour away and it was AWFUL!!! We definitely get along much better when we are around each other all the time! With that said, we also make a point of spending time apart and hanging out with our friends without the other person there. It''s a nice balance .

 

[vita*dolce]

my bf and i only spend about 2 hours a day together during the week, maybe a little less. he works odd hours and i''m in law school, so we''re both kind of busy. we probably spend 5 or so hours together on friday and saturday.

we don''t live together or work together though, so this is really all we can do at this point.

My FI and I live together and both work 8-5 jobs during the week, but I travel a ton (usually once per week for a few days at a time) so it seems like we don''t get enough time together. Even the days I''m not traveling we usually don''t get home until 7 or 8 (intramural sports, going to the gym, etc) and then we go to bed at 10. I''m really trying to get a job where I don''t have to travel ... and if I''m lucky it''ll be at the same company as him so we can drive to work together and have lunch together

At least we get all weekend together; it would be rough without that (very occasionally I have to travel on a Sunday and it drives me crazy because it messes up one of our days together). I''m actually looking at a job where I work 12 hour days, 4 days a week, and the days I work would rotate each week so I''d end up working every other weekend. It would be worth it to get out of my current job (and not spend so much time in hotels) because the weird schedule would only be for a year, but I know I would miss FI a ton every other weekend.

Friday night thru Sunday afternoon..... thats all

 

[ladypirate]

Since we''re both job hunting right now, a lot! We''re not necessarily in the same room of the house or anything, but we do spend nearly all our time together. Once we get jobs, I won''t get to see him quite as much, but since we still live together and do most of our socializing together, we''ll still be spending most of our time with each other.

Luckily I''m not sick of him yet!

Yesterday we went to the zoo and saw the baby elephant--it was sooooo cute!

We spend almost all our free time together. He generally works between 9am and 7pm and I do not work at all. We live together so that makes things alot easier. He doesnt have many other activities outside of the home (usually when he meets up with friends after work I meet up with them too). I do a few things during the day like my volunteer work with a cat rescue organization and going tot he gym and such, but I usually make sure I do this while he is working so I can be home for dinner. When do most activities like shopping and such together as well. So I guess the time we spend apart is for sleeping and work. those take up about...16 hours a day during the week and another 8 or so during the weekend.

This is basically the same scenario as I am, except he''s juggling the occasional study session, car show or test for school. We live together as well...Except we don''t work together anymore....but we work the same shifts.

Sadly it''s the school year again (my last!) so we get to see each other 1-2 times a week and that''s about it. In the summer, it''s 3-5 times a week but still not every day.

I''m apparently the only LIW who''s in a long distance relationship

My FF and I get to see eachother for 3 days once a month, two if we''re lucky. Im still going to school (its a longer process than originally planned) and hes in the Navy so he lives 6 hours away. I work part time which currently takes away my Fridays and Saturdays and eliminates any 3 day weekend possibilities and my homework occupies me the rest of the time. Although, this summer we had a good stretch where we saw each other every weekend and he was home for 10 days for my birthday and Labor Day Weekend. Honestly, absence does make the heart grow fonder and we have a greater understanding of communication. I was never one to openly express my emotions/fears/complaints but I''ve since learned in the past two years that just coming out and saying how I feel greatly simplifies a relationship and I love him so much more for helping me grow into that understanding. Though, I must say our situation does leave me much more free time to snoop around PS without being interrupted

We usually spend a lot of time together. I just started a new job and I am REALLY busy right now. (I''m a first year teacher and I am just scrambling all of the time!) We spend every moment we can get together.

 

[KatM]

not as much as i want, but it could be much worse. we''re long distance, and he''s about 400 miles away. we see each other about 1 weekend a month, sometimes a little less often. it''s nice too though because during that weekend we make it a point to do extra special things. it''s less boring than it was when we were in the same city.

 

[emeraldlover1]

We live together and most of the time spend almost all weekend together but during the week its different. I work from 7:30am till usually 4 - 9pm depending on when my cases end. My fiance works from 9am till about 11pm most of the time. We dread Sunday nights.

 

[bee*]

We live together so we see each others in the morning and the evening. I have to work one weekend and one other weekend day per month, so that cuts out some of our weekend time which is a pain!
