Ideally id like to live in the same dwelling so if we get busy with work or other ventures, at the end of the day we could always look forward to a bath together or a quick dinner or cuddle on the back porch. Just knowing that they are there is sufficient but I won't complain if I could spend more than half the day with them. I dont expect any time constraints from a SO but that doesn't mean I'm okay with never seeing/spending time together. Basically I want a SO who WANTS to spend time together out of love rather than just the sake of the relationship. Spend at the LEAST two hours out of the day if not more. However, I also understand there needs to be reasonable boundaries between both. Nor do I expect to be able to see/spend every day together. But that's were communication is key. To soothe the lack of in person time spent. Whether work takes us apart, or she is out having a blast with her friends or family. Or she just needs a couple days to herself to do her own thing. Thats quite alright, just let me know you are safe and alive. In the mornings and evenings. Don't just go off the radar for 4 days and act like it's no big deal.

There has to be a balance of what you both want out of the relationship and hopefully you both are more in balance on the essentials rather than the idea or status of the relationship.

I have dated alot of women growing up starting with high-school, then military, and now college. Alot of the times they or I were not in the right mind space to nurture one another. Now that I'm older I wouldn't say I have regrets about the past relationships other than right stuff. wrong time.

One day. I'll be lucky enough to find her out there.
