There is no such thing as spending too much time with your boyfriend or girlfriend and there will always be time apart because of life and it's various activities, so there WILL be time for you to miss each other, but it is not good for you to spend less time together because you fear that they will take you as a friend and not as a lover. If you are afraid of that then the relationship is not a real one and the love is not true.

I am in a long distance relationship and I can tell how difficult it is. It requires much patience. It is good when we are both busy because we do not demand much time from the other. My boyfriend and I are luckily on the same boat. We are both busy couple trying to work hard and save harder just to meet each other. We are unlike other couples who are always together. And I guess, other people will think of us as friends only and not lovers. Despite the distance, we know that we love each other very much and are willing to endure the long time being apart for a greater purpose.

@ntobekodo Time is very precious when we are together. There is no single dull moment. My mom says my relationship with my boyfriend is perfect. We do not have very serious quarrel because we try to understand each other.

@annierose wow, you have something enviable! Hold onto that because not too many people are blessed to find their 'one' in this day and age.

I admire the fact that you guys haven't allowed the distance to pull you apart. I think when the time comes when you can spend more time with each other you will be an even greater couple :) Big ups to you guys!

I feel like you CAN spend too much time with a boyfriend or girlfriend. I mean, boyfriends are usually temporary whereas friends and family are lifelong. Ive had a lot of friends who have fallen in puppy love and totally ignored everyone else in their life - which I feel is wrong.

In some cases that is correct, but some develop that strong bond over time; so much that the girlfriend/boyfriend becomes part of the "family and friends" circle. This takes time, of course, but I think it can be achieved.
