why do guys need so much “guy time”?

i see my boyfriend maybe twice a week (if that) he is always out with his friends. i understand that he needs to spend time with them, and im glad that he does have such close friends but what about me ?! :( im a very laid back girlfriend, i dont nag on him or complain, we dont argue, ive only brought this up to him once and asked him if he was trying to push me away, he said he isnt. but thats how i feel. when we do hang out, things are perfect, always have a good time. so im just confussed with why he wouldnt want to spend more time with me.

maybe thats why he feels he doesnt need to hang out with you a ton. if everything is perfect with you two theres nothing to fix. he knows hes happy and i think he thinks your happy. maybe he feels he needs to be there for his friends, maybe one of them is having trouble. things with you dont need to be fixed but things with them do maybe. i wouldnt worry to much about it, if everything seems fine take his word for it, enjoy the time you do spend together :)

yeah no problem. i hope things get better. and if they dont maybe just bring up to him about hanging out another day the week, ask him to take one off. also maybe sporadically, take him on a date or do something to remind him what its like to hang with you and have fun :)

It might also depend on how long you’ve been going out. If you’ve only just become boyfriend/girlfriend, not seeing each other much isn’t abnormal. However i wouldn’t quote me on any relationship advice whatsoever because most of my relationships lasted very short periods of time. that being mainly due to the fact that i wasn’t good at picking out girls to ask out. they’d usually say yes, but… well… it just didn’t work out, and whatever girl i was dating would either break up with me, or i break up with her, after about a week. The reason the relationship i’m in right now’s going so well is, i knew this girl since i was six and she’s not insane like a bunch of the other girls out there. we’ve been going out since last november, and honestly it’s the longest relationship i’ve been in in probably my whole life, and i’ve dated a whooooole lot of girls in my life. Enough about me though. Best of luck to you and your boyfriend. Maybe give it a little time and gradually you’ll start seeing eachother more often throughout the week. Then again, as i mentioned, i’m not really a relationship expert. Best of luck.
