Staggered reflection

I've been thinking a lot today at work. In my few and far between spare moments to actually think. Adam and I really screwed each other up. Not in a nasty way. I know he suffers from this too. We spent virtually every single day together for five years. We were never apart (apart from work and study). We both felt this need to be with one another all the time and in the end, we ended up resenting one another. I appreciate and love the comfortable silence that you find yourself experiencing as a relationship matures. But I don't know. It shouldn't be all the time should it? It's nice to spend time apart, to miss each other and to collect stories so that the next time you see one another, you have things to share and you really appreciate one another's company. When you're married and have jobs and possibly children, that's the time when you sit in front of the telly in each other's arms all the time. That's when the comfortable silence really comes into play. But yes, this neediness. This, constant need to be around one another. We've both taken it along into our next relationships and I can only assume we did this to one another, because afterall, we were children, trying to make a grown up relationship and not having a clue.
You know what, I think i'm ready to try this one out.
