to think you don't have to do everything together?

[BlotiCarloti]

Me and my partner do lots together. We go out for meals, walks, cinema etc. We do more separately however. I visit my family for a weekend of every month, I go on snowboarding holidays/weekends (he isn't in to snowboarding), I go out a lot with my friends, I spend new year in France with my family and he spends it with his. He goes on biking holidays (I don't bike) and takes his motorbike on short weekend tours abroad with his friend.

We have a very young baby so this will change, however a friend brought to light that it's 'weird' that we do so much apart...

We are happy and like being quite independent from each other whilst also having a loving relationship. We do more apart than we do together, but so far that has been okay.

Anyone else similar? Or is it really that 'weird'?

I'm exactly the same as you, but without the baby.

After 17 years together happily, I can confirm it works really well. I'd always need my space!

I agree that the key is finding a partner that thinks the same as you.
dh and I are like you.
Sometimes I do wish there were a couple more things we both enjoyed doing, (in particular I wish he and I wanted to go to the same places on holiday) but I have always been comfortable going places without him, and I quite like the 'freedom' of being home alone when he is away.
I know some think we are odd, but it's worked for us for a long, long time.
Once you have children, the key is being very good at keeping each others diaries up to date, and neither of you 'assuming' the other will be available to do the childcare when you aren't.
