[quote=Anonymous]My advice would be NOT to dump him but rather to start carving out more solo time for yourself. If you live together in a 1BR could you squeeze your budget enough to get a 2BR? Having that extra space saved my relationship more than once. Set aside at least two nights a week that you do your own thing - meeting a girlfriend for drinks, joining a kickball team, playing board games with a meetup group, whatever suits you and your interests but something you can do every week on that evening on your own. You won't have to call and say what time you'll be home or where you are - he'll just know it's part of your schedule to go off and do your own thing those nights. Same goes for weekends - around one weekend a month you should have something just YOU are doing, whether it's visiting family, going on a hike, or buying ice cream and marathoning your favorite tv show with a friend. Then once a year you should take a 3-7 day vacation without your SO - either alone or with family or friends (or a tour group!).

If you're already doing a lot of those things and feel like the issue is less about the time you spend together/apart and more about the expectations of the relationship (does he need to know where you are all the time? does he get pouty if you don't want to go watch football at his buddy's house?), that's a completely different conversation you need to be having with him.[/quote]
