It’s crazy when you and your gf move in together and she’s there everyday…like I never get a break from her. It’s so exhausting, is it messed up if I tell her I need space to myself?

No my fiancé and I get so tired of each other sometimes. We love each other dearly and have a ton of shared hobbies, never fight, but being around any one person that much is draining. Just tell her you need alone time and reassure her it’s not anything she did. You could also encourage her to make other plans so she’s not lonely/bored

Nah, you gotta have some space to yourself. Just leave the apartment for a while bc it’s not right to kick someone out of a place they live

Not messed up at all, but its so important that you communicate about it. People need time alone to recharge, but if you start doing it without any communication about your needs it might make her worried about you pulling away in your relationship. My fiance and I have lived together for 2 years and had the same problem. Now we have structured evenings where we’re at home doing our own things in the same space (like I read while he games) AND time doing things completely separate
