writes:Hello, Me and my boyfriend are both in our late teens and have been going out a while now. We have a really good relationship and i love him to bits. This summer my family are taking our yearly vacation to this small town beside the sea and i invited my boyfriend. It would mean that me and my boyfriend would have to be together for about 5 days on end and im worried that this length of time will not be good for the relationship. We will have never spent this long together before. I am so excited about him coming with me but also worried that the extended time together will be too trying for him. I suppose im asking...how do you 'live' successfully with a partner for an amount of time, how much space should i give him etc... any help would be great. Thanks.
