<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

So we've been living together for 3 years now and we rarely are apart. I get the feeling if I had something to do with my time and I could be out of the house, he might have some time to recharge his batteries and be emotionally or physically open to me again. 

Right now I am just a weight around his ankle.

But I am demotivated, tired, stressed and wrung out. I feel irritated that I have to be the one to leave the house and have a hobby. 

What should I do? Should I study or see a lot of movies? Will distance even help? I'm not sure. 

I just wonder if having separate lives would give us a little more balance. But I don't really have a life and don't know where i'd start.

Has anyone successfully given a guy/girl space and had it benefit their relationship?
<bot>: We live together and I can't think of any way to distance ourselves to give him a bit of a break from me.
