Should I feel guilty for wanting time alone

[Applecrumble79]

My boyfriend likes to see me all the time. Whilst I find this flattering, im also a person that likes my own space. I enjoy my bed to myself but also like sharing with him but just not all the time. If I say that I don’t want to see him as I’m busy he gets upset. I can’t help feel this is childish. When he stays over he talks through anything I’m watching. Then he likes to sleep with the quilt off whereas I like it on.
Any suggestions how I can suggest some evenings to myself without upsetting him?!

Are you sure he's the right boyfriend for you?

Controlling. He’s stifling you. Mine did this at the very beginning. You need a balance or you’ll crack and start resenting him if you don’t already. It’s perfectly normal to enjoy your own company and want time alone. If he doesn’t understand that, he’s insecure-do you want this in a partner?

Don't marry/live with him until he understands your need for space. Will wreak your mental health.

What everyone else said. This man will drive you mad. DH is my DH because he gave me room to breathe. I still need alone time even now after years of marriage!

I had one of these recently. Was OK at the beginning and flattering, but he wanted to come round all the time (not many friends of his own), and would keep me up half the night talking crap, so I'd be wrecked for 2 days after. Became very suffocating very quickly. Finally he gatecrashed an activity weekend away I had planned for ages, with his daughter (5 years). Even though we'd agreed it would be be best not to come as I'd be busy and it was too early to meet her. He thought we could just pretend to be friends, which is also lying to her. I blocked him after that, as he was trying to manipulate us to get more serious and too involved too quickly, and didn't respect my wishes for sleep, free time, time with friends and time on my own. Exhausting.
