Hello everyone. I want to share with you and if you have time to share your opinion with me. I'll start with my family, where does the "problem" actually come from? The relationship between my mother and my father is a little strange to me. I say strange because so far (I am 21) I have met 1-2 other such families. My parents love each other very much. After nearly 25 years of marriage, to this day I see them holding hands for a walk in the park, every day after work. They do not go out without each other. They do not have this need, for them the family is a family when they are together. There is no such thing as a gathering of men and women. If there is a way out - they are together. This has affected me without them wanting it, and now my understandings and desires for a relationship are like that. And I am aware that for 95% of people this will be "suffocation" .. (no, that I understand how you can love some and need to go out without him) and that's where the problem begins. Half a year ago I met my friend. We lived together very quickly. In the second month. From the very beginning I told him what my understandings were and I admit I fell in love even more when he said - "Yes, it's the same for me". I'll just insert that he works a night shift, but I told him I can't do that and it's only temporary until we fix some financial things. But for me the problem is something else. When he answered me like that, he thought there were "exceptions."
During these 6 months he went out without me three times - 2 times for dinner and once to watch a match. After the first time I explained to him how I felt and he said that he had no desire to go out without me, mostly with his closest friend, but this would happen very rarely. Well, yes, but then the man admitted, that he said it just to shut up. Although we have agreed that there are no night outs without each other and that the others will be very rare and at a normal time. Yes, but I remind you again of the beginning of my outings. I do not understand this. I don't understand what will bother me if we go together to watch the match… I don't plan to sit in front of the TV. If we love each other, we shouldn't need to be without each other, to have secrets from each other, and that drives me crazy. I once told him how I felt and I had little success. But it kills me. I had told him that time would tell what would happen - whether I would forget my principles and dreams of a relationship or he would break. But I know for myself that I can't ... and I don't want to. I like and understand only those relationships that I have witnessed all my life so far. I love it very much… but I don't know what to do… I'm sure most of you will decide it's suffocation… but I'm sorry. For 21 years, once I have not seen my mother or father suffocated ... but only smiling and happy. I want this, I can't live the other way… and I love him ... I love him very much. Thank you for your attention..

Just because the model in your family was like that doesn't mean it applies to everyone else. People are different. Besides, couples like your parents are almost always jealous. For them, this is normal and they accept it as an expression of love. They live not as separate units in the whole, but as halves and through each other. For me, this is abnormal. I think that everyone needs personal space, which includes going out with friends, where your husband or boyfriend has no place. When you trust a person to yourself, you have no problem with that. Find someone who looks at things like you, otherwise if you don't do something and I see that you are not on this wave, they expect a lot of unpleasant emotions.
