Seeing each other just on weekends can work in a relationship, as long as you are on the same page.
Being on the same page means that there is a mutual agreement to make seeing each other on weekends work.
When there is only one of you who wants to see the other more than just on the weekends, the relationship won’t work.
Figuring out where you stand as a couple is critical.
In the end, without this comprehension, seeing each other just on the weekends becomes too inadequate for one of you.
If you have a busy life and would much rather keep things on a relatively casual level in your relationship, then only seeing this person on the weekends works out fine.
Again, you have to be on the same page with each other on this for it to work.
This solely works when there is no pressure applied on either party in terms of what they want.
A partner that senses pressure from you is not going to give you an honest answer.
This is never good.
Forcing the issue is bound to create resentment in the relationship.
Resentment from a partner in a relationship is to its detriment.
The unhappy partner’s resentment eventually bubbles to the surface and this where the fights happen with frequency.
Unfortunately, the fights are so frequent, it reaches a boiling point and the relationship is unsalvageable.
Now, on the other hand, if you actually want to see your partner more often and not just over the weekends, this is a conversation that you have to have with your partner as well.
Do not pressure your partner to comply with what you want.
Let your partner decide on whether this is something they want too.
If it is, you are now on the same page and have a better shot at the relationship working.
There is nothing wrong with letting your partner know that you want to see them more than just on the weekends.
As long as you don’t pressure your partner to acquiesce.
It isn’t out of the question that your partner feels exactly how you do, and has avoided telling you out of a fear that he would be pushing you too hard.
Communication is key.
If your partner tells you that they don’t want to see you more than just on the weekends and you want more than that, that’s your cue to assess whether staying in this relationship any longer is worth your while.
A relationship where one partner’s emotional needs aren’t being met, is a relationship that is doomed to fail.
