It's pretty rare for anyone to say the name Robert Pattinson without using Kristen Stewart in the same sentence, but for crying out loud -- these two are in dire need of some time apart. Am I the only one who's getting a little sick & tired of hearing the name "Robsten"? (They are two individual people, you know.)
And thankfully, it sounds like even they are feeling the need to get away from each other for a little while. Robert Pattinson was recently spotted out partying with the boys -- and Kristen was nowhere in sight. (Hallelujah.) Instead, she was catching a plane to Australia for the premiere of her new movie, Snow White and the Huntsman.
Though some girls would probably be pretty worried about flying to another continent and leaving their boyfriend behind to let loose & partake in L.A. nightlife, giving Rob his space and some time to hang out with the boys is essential to the success of their relationship.
More from The Stir: Robert Pattinson Has Unleashed His Irritable Side & It's Not Pretty
Couples who spend every waking moment together run the risk of getting sick of each other, and when that happens, things inevitably fizzle out. They've been hot and heavy for quite a while now, and between living together and working together for so long, it's understandable for them to want to spend time with other people and live their own lives.
And aside from having their own social lives apart from each other, there's the whole "absence makes the heart grow fonder" thing. As cliche as it sounds, it really is true. (I secretly look forward to my husband going away on business, just so I can miss him.)
Being on opposite sides of the world is exactly what Robert & Kristen need to make sure they keep the spark alive and continue moving in a positive direction with their relationship.
Do you and your husband make sure to get time apart from each other?

My husband passed away in 1993, but yes we had to get away from each other sometimes. He would go to Colorado every fall to hunt, and believe me it was nice to have the house to myself. Had I not been able to trust him, I would never have married him. We were a very happy coupel. We had a lot of things that we did together.
i make sure to take some time apart from husband cause if u dont it makes ya go crazy if your with your spouse all the time.so to hear the two most popular actors are taking some apart then yup its ok for the time apart but its even funner when u see each other all over again.u have to make thre time u got and just go with it and when your together just enjoy bein back with each other.u never whats gonna happen.
just spend time with each other u can ,and when your apart u can miss each other as well.
Me and my husband spent alot of time apart due to work. He works 60hrs a week and I work 45. He also goes out of town alot. The whole taking time apart is bs unless he takes care of the kids too so you can have a break like him. In my case that will never happen. Im the one with the kids.
my husband is active duty, so any time apart is not of our choice... I could use more time together!
Guess my husband and I are the exception!! The last time I spent any time apart from him was when we had to have our well fixed and had no water for a few days. I was 6 months pregnant at the time, so my daughter and I went to stay with my parents. Apart from forced times of separation like that, we don't like to be apart. I would LOVE for him to work from home so we could be together MORE! Haha.
My hubby and i have been married for 26 years. We love the time we get to spend together. Now that he is retired, we are real "home-bodies". Now if we can just get the teenager out of the house!
