How Much is Too Much?

How much time is too much to spend with someone else?

No, I'm not looking to abandon anyone here. I'm just exploring.

Is there such a thing as spending "too much" time with your husband? I think most would say no.

Can you spend too much time with your children? I'm not sure what pyschologists would say but I imagine that answer is no too.

Can you wear out your welcome with friends? Family? My mom used to say that fish and company smelled after three days.

When someone says "you spend too much time..." what are they really saying?

You spend too much time at work.
You spend too much time alone.
You spend too much time with him/her.
You spend too much time at church.
You spend too much time online.
You spend too much time obsessing, worrying, cleaning, reading...you fill in the blank with what you've been told.

How much is too much? And is it relative to what you're doing? What exactly is the standard of measure for "too much?"

What do you think?
