Does/should your life revolve around your partner? if you find that you are starting to lose interest in your hobbies & passions and are not that focused on furthering your career or any other aspects of your life because all you're interested in is your partner, how would you deal with that? Would you end the relationship? If all you want to do is be with your partner, does that signal an unhealthy/obsessive relationship?
 
I would hazard a guess and say this is a new relationship...
 
Mine did - but not quite as far as losing passion for things I loved or my career :/

you say "did" so i''m guessing it didn't work out? well i've never loved my career but that's another thread :p
 
There should be a balance. a trend i have seen in my relationship was that i would become really un-productive and neglect my working duties when ever i was spending time with my GF, lately we have been matured enough in our relationship that i would tell her i have to complete all my dead lines before we can start to relax and that has worked, i complete my work in a shorter time and the time we spend together is more enjoyable seeing that i don't have to worry about all my neglected responsibilities
 
No, not really. I'm too young to focus too much on anything but my career and such. Maybe I'm a bit selfish.
 
I smiled at the one line on a WoW t-shirt: "Relationships come and go, but epics are soulbound!"
 
Fortunately for me my wife is also my best friend so we basically do everything together anyway.
Tho I have my hobbies and she has hers.

Yup - never worked out.

We were together for about 3.5 years and lived together for 2 years - and were even speaking casually about rings. But she got into her crystal meth and her life (and mine)fell apart shortly afterwards. However reflecting back on our relationship I can see mistakes made and that putting her on a pedistal was one.

For one, should anything happen, you're going to crash much harder because your point of focus is *sleeping with someone else

* I could have used 'gone', but thought I'd be honest

My Fiance and I also do everything together, but can do our thing as well.. Which is the best way.

I would not end the relationship out of hand.

I will have a long hard look at myself and the road that I am traveling and find a way to be find a way to be happy.

In my opinion happiness is what drives most people thus if "following" your partner makes you happy that is ok.
 
so how much time are you supposed to spend with your SO on the weekend? How much time do you spend with the SO vs on your own vs with your friends

It depends ... SO you've just met and living her the parents? SO you're been seeing for a while, but living with the parents? SO that you're living with? Engaged to? Married?
