Right. Of course its not because she/he may not be into climbing and he/she may not WANT to climb.
Time apart is just as, if not more, important as time together.
Your post reminds me of a wedding rehearsal dinner I attended recently at a local restaurant where the honored couple seemed inseparable. At one point in the evening the female looked at her male counterpart and said "I am going to the restroom" and which point they both got up and walked away together. When I got up to go to the bathroom myself I saw her fiance hanging around outside the women's restroom. Chivalry or co-dependency?
Kind of ridiculous to give relationship advice in the form of cliches you heard on Oprah to a couple that's been together for several decades, don't you think? The non-sequitor anecdote doesn't help your credibility much either, Dr. Phil.
Do you know how long RBW1966 has been in a monogamous relationship continually?
No.
I, as numerous others, understand you lack the objectivity to perceive the emotional and intellectual immaturity that you convey through most of your posts. Why else, do you think, that most here - with the exception of yourself - readily recognize the hypocrisy present in near every criticism you make of others?
You present yourself as a petulant child of, oh, about eight-years-old, trying to impress and gain respect through unreasonable aggression and hyperbolic allusion. Yet, you, unlike everyone else, do not factor how very public the position from which you attempt your immasculations in anonymity. Like an angry, but frightened, boy.
The result: embarassingly weak arguments short on substance and rife with the fallacy of ad hominem.
I was not joking when, earlier, I proposed (compassionately) that you seek professional counsel in an attempt to breakthrough to the root of your emotional pathology.
Until then, know that what you believe to be hidden, is exposed starkly.
