So 4-5 hours dedicated to each trip, including driving? Fuck that's a huge commitment of your limited free time for her to not be more understanding.
I mean, yeah, she has a very weird view of these things.
Like, we spend every day together,and when I've told her it'd be nice to have some alone time, she has argued with me that we aren't together all the time because we have work and sleep doesn't count, plus when you factor in the time it takes us to cook, eat, and clean, we only have a couple hours every day to hang out, that's not that much time! so you'd think she would be understanding that even a few hours of free time is really precious or whatever right?
using the same logic I've tried to explain to her that we spend 1/4 of our weekend or more at her parents but she considers that a quick trip that doesn't take much time for some reason....

That being said, since it's "visiting family" she probably won't concede that it's something only she enjoys and that she's being selfish, which makes it a pain to negotiate.
indeed
I would breakup with someone based solely on them not understanding how important alone time is. 100% serious. That's a deal breaker ---
