this is tough bc i’m the type to want alone time too. i think i would want my bf to just be completely honest and say that he wishes we could see each other more often. maybe you guys can compromise and do some chill nights in where you do your own thing but in the same room? or facetime on days when you can’t hang out? sometimes i don’t have the social battery to go out but i would be down for something like this, maybe your gf is the same way

She definitely is, she’s my little sleepy silk worm, I’ve been told I have “golden retriever energy” so I guess I just feel bummed but I totally understand that she needs her space, and like I know she’s been having a lot of stress from work I guess I just don’t want to seem selfish for missing her.

And more importantly I don’t want to make her feel guilty! I know she does already and we did compromise so it’s not an issue I’m just more of a planner type of person so I feel sad when she texts me she needs a me day and I was already planning on seeing her

i think it’s sweet that you miss her! does a “me” day always mean she wants to be alone or does she just not want to go anywhere? do you think she would be open to you coming over and just watching tv together? for me 90% of wanting “me time” is just not wanting to go out and having no pressure to socialize/talk. something like watching a movie is easier on me when i’m socially burnt out bc we’re just sitting in each other’s presence and it doesn’t have to be much more than that yk

It mainly means she’s overwhelmed, usually from a lot of stress and lately it’s been really stressful for her. I think honestly I just needed to like get it off my chest cause I’m not mad I just miss her. We’re gonna play some video games later.
