OMG this is so me.
It is one of the things my boyfriend and I argue about all the time. I am perfectly happy to sit in our room together each doing our own thing on our computers, maybe chatting here and there and going out to smoke ciggs together, but he doesn't consider this "spending time together" because we aren't directly engaged in the same thing. Ugh, I am sure I will never get this stuff right
What's wrong with that? I can do either--chat a bit or just "be" with the other person, go back and forth...whatever. That is absolutely "spending time together", with no pressure to "do" anything in particular.
