<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

A couple of days ago I was talking to a friend about relationships and break-ups and I said something along the lines of: "There's always someone else out there for you." Meaning that however much she loved her ex, she'll find a new guy that she will love just as much, if not more.

She was surprisingly offended by this and started accusing me of being in a relationship with "an expiration date". Only because I said that I'm realistic enough to realise that my own current relationship might not be for "forever" either.

I was actually quite annoyed, my boyfriend and I have been getting shit like this from quite a lot of friends/acquaintances. Whenever they hear that we only see each other 1-2 times a week, they say "oh my god, I could never have a relationship like that!". My boyfriend and I are both quite busy and don't live close to each other (1.5 hours by train). However, IF we lived closer together, we would still be okay with meeting up 2 times a week, I think. We both value our alone time.

Most relationships that I see though, are about couples who do a lot together. They have the same friends or at least do things with their friends in combination with their boyfriend... I'm not sure if I'm making sense here, but the problem is that my boyfriend and I still live very separate lives. I see his friends very rarely and vice versa. When we hang out, it's just the two of us because that's just easier (also partly because of the distance).

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have an SO that you really share everything with. Not in an unhealthy way of course.

My question to you: is my relationship with my boyfriend kind of "distant" because that's the type of person we are (introverted, independent) or because we are not "in love enough". I don't feel like my world would collapse if we broke up and I don't think he would feel like that either. That doesn't mean I don't love him.
<bot>: Am I missing out on something because I don't have this crazy, overwhelming, I-can't-live-without-you love with my boyfriend or is this just something that depends on people's characters/personalities?
