Women of reddit why do you think it is important for your partner to ask for attention or to limit it instead of pouring it all together everyday every-time?

1. As I woman I’m having trouble understanding what your trying to say here with these words

2. It’s not about asking for attention or limiting it it’s about having a healthy balance of shared and separate time

3. i think most adults understand that alone time is crucial. no one wants to be with someone that is constantly clinging to them. my partner and i enjoy and need our alone time. almost every night we spend 2-3 hours in separate rooms playing video games, reading, or working and it’s so beneficial to our relationship. no one should have to ask for attention in a relationship, if there isn’t a healthy balance and you can’t find a healthy balance, the relationship probably won’t work out long term

4. I don’t need any alone time and neither does my fiancé, so I’m going to personally say no. We spend every possible minute together – he’s my best friend. He gets attention and affection 24/7.

5. You are needy. Stop it!

   There are many articles and YouTube videos that can teach you how not be to needy.

6. I’m a bit confused but I think peoples needs always change. Some days you/they may need/want more attention, some days less. Ideally you’d have an understanding relationship where you can openly voice those wants/needs
