Is it normal that my girl friend is too much of a "girlfriend".
I'm 23. I've been with my girlfriend for almost a year-and-a-half. And I sometimes feel like she's too much of a "girlfriend".
We're very sexual and very close. We spend a lot of time together. We go out to eat, hang out and watch TV, do all sorts of things.
But sometimes I wish I had something a little less intense--something in between a 'girlfriend' and a 'friend with benefits'. Ideally, I'd love to have a girl who I get along with, have great sex with, and see now and then; but also a girl with her own life and complications. The best way I can put it is this: instead of our lives running the same course, they would run parallel and intersect every now and then. It would be monogamous but not clingy, dependable but never constant, co-dependent but not DEpendent.
Does that exist? Does it have a name? Is it normal?
