How often are you SUPPOSED to see your girlfriend to remain not obsessive?

My gf and I live together and share the rent. I see her for 2 hours in the morning, another 30 minutes sometimes at noon when we meet up for a quick lunch, and from 8pm through around 2am, for a total of 10 hours a day, 7 days a week.

i told my friends and they all kinda went "WHA THE FUCK?! That ain't healthy man! you two are way too obsessive!" apparently most of them only see their SO's 2-4 times.... a WEEK. They;ve been doing this for years! jesus...i thought guys had needs? :P

are we being obsessive? we're 24.

your friends are essentially telling you that you shouldn't live with your girlfriend. 24 seems pretty young to be living with a significant other, but most people posting on this board probably have maturity past their age. Also depends on her looks

 
therightcoast_ but most people posting on this board probably have maturity past their age.

Many of the posts would actually suggest the exact opposite I think.

 

What the fuck do they expect, you live with her.

Get new friends.

Congratulations, you have what appears to be a normal romantic relationship, not an arrangement of exchanging sex for favors (not that there's anything wrong with it).

what logic could you have possibly used to come to this conclusion? How do you figure that the don't have a personality? You make no sense, there is no way for you to know that based off this posting.

Because I know the type too well. She's probably a plain Jane, and he thinks he can't do any better. They'll get married in a few years, pop out a couple of kids and move to a 2-bedroom on the UES.

Its all so cliche and so boring. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, mind you, I know lots of those kinds of couples, but live a little for chrissakes. OP, let me guess, you guys go to the gym together too, don't you ?
