The answer to your wonderful question is presented by the title of a song by Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. The title of the song is "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?"

My god! you are so lucky. When i first saw your question, i thought it was someone who has just gotten into a relationship, and figured that it wouldn't be healthy to be doing everything together. Usually when a couple spends too much time together, it soon becomes stale & leave both parties wanting some time apart. But if you've been together for 7yrs and still love doing everything together and get butterflies in your stomach each time to see each other, I don't see why you need to wry. You seem to be in a wonderful relationship. Congrads!!

Every relationship is different just like every individual. I personally like my space, and so does my partner, we do stuff together yeah but we also spend time away from each other do our own things like hanging out with our friends, church and family stuff. I think not having them every minute of the day makes you appreciate them more and you get more excited about seeing them.
Real love means different things to do people, and the way we express as selves is not the same. If it suits your relationship to do everything together and your both happy then thats cool 2.

If you like doing that then that sounds fantastic and must be right for you for the time being. However I would spend time with other friends and relatives because they are very important to your life too. Also-things/feelings/interests change so keep an open mind about spending occasional days apart in the future. Have you heard the expression 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'?

Its gotta be whats right for you. There are no rules about time apart, or time spent together.
some people need space, some dont, some differ, probably most! most relationships have one person more clingy/intimate than the other.
There's nothing better, and stronger in a relationship than trust, you dont have to test it, by introducing exuses to be apart,but it can be healthy to be reunited, after a legitimate absence, it makes it exciting.
Time and time again, the more crinkly i get, the saying "familiarity breeds contempt" proves to be true. So space is a neccessary evil.
But how you occasionally make that space, is up to you.

I think it's great that you get along so well. My husband and I have been married 22 years and we still do everything together. I would be lost without him coz he's my husband and best friend. Obviously we have friends and he goes to work but we're always glad to see each other at the end of the day xxxxxxxxx

Yes, definitely. If you do everything together, you'll grow sick of each other in no time at all. Everyone needs some alone time.
