How often do you see your boy/girlfriend (if you aren't married or cohabitating)?

I usually only see him once or twice a week, but over the past two weeks I saw him almost every other day because he hasn’t been working and also because it was my birthday. And now that things are “going back to normal” (he’s going back to work on Monday and obviously my birthday is over), I’m feeling moody and bratty because he’s not coming over tonight. Not to mention I’m PMSing at the moment.

Anyway, I’ll be fine, but coming off my last relationship with my ex who I lived with for 6 years, it has definitely taken some time for me to adjust to dating someone I don’t live with or see every single day. But that’s okay, right? I mean, it’s perfectly normal (or, not “bad”) to have time apart from the boyfriend and do my own things. I’m just not used to it! I feel like a brat for getting upset about not seeing him 24/7 because he sees me more often than he visits his mom, dad, sister, and grandmother who I know are incredibly important to him and I would never want to take him away from spending time with his family (who don’t all live together, so he actually has about 3 different homes to visit in a week if he wants to try to see his entire family).

For those of you who aren’t married or cohabitating, how often do you see your significant other, and do you wish you could see them more or less? Is it okay to be feeling what I’m feeling? I’m not really looking for “permission” to be selfish, I just want to know if I’m completely alone in feeling this way sometimes or if others have felt or feel the same way too. :]
