These days it seems as though everyone is hell-bent on judging the girl who spends all of her time with her man. Well, I do and I am not sorry for that, nor should I be judged for it.
Regardless of how long someone has been together, spending time with one another is what makes the relationship work. Obviously, people do not have to spend every waking moment together to have a relationship, but for those couples that do, more power to you! Seriously!
It could not be more rewarding to spend what time you can with your significant other. They are the person that has seen you at your best, and probably more at your worst. This person is the one you sleep next to at night, trusting them in your most vulnerable state. This person has been there at the end of every day to talk about how the day went, solve problems with you, and tell you they love you no matter what. They are the ones that regardless of what happens are standing by your side. This is the person you are eventually going to build a life with.
Why wouldn't you want to spend all your time with someone who makes you feel wanted, needed, important, loved, and just plain good about yourself? Being in a committed relationship has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I know who I am going home with at the end of every crazy drinking night. I know who I am going to be waking up to every morning after a stressful night at work, or a stressful day of school. I know who is going to be there at the end of every day regardless of a fight we had a night before. I know who is going to be there to share the good times with, and who will be there to pick me up in the bad times.
Basically, we need to accept that different people have different views on relationships and values within the relationship, and we shouldn't judge someone for that. Having a boyfriend and a best friend all in one is the best type of relationship I could have ever asked for. I have the person who supports me emotionally, mentally, and physically in one person. Not to mention that the way your friends support you in these ways is completely different from a significant other anyway.
So please, spend all the time with your significant other as you want. It is okay to do this. Your friends should be supporting you through your relationship if they truly care about you. They shouldn't be judging you or getting mad at you for spending time with the person you're going to grow old with. Friends are going to come and go. Friends grow out of each other all the time. Friends grow apart for a number of reasons, whether it be because you've grown into different people, you moved away, you now hold different views in life, or you're taking two completely different paths in life; these things happen. But out of these reasons comes the reason why your significant other becomes one of the most important part of your life.
Your significant other shares similar views as you. Similar wants in life. Similar ways of thinking and values. These components are what bring people together and wanting to spend time with people who are similar to you in a natural want. We want to spend time with the people who bring about the best in us, and why should girls or guys be judged because this person is their significant other? THEY SHOULD'NT.
