My (31/F) bf (37/m) and I have been together for 4.5 years, we lived together for two of those years. A year ago we split up and moved apart and got back together and now live separately. 

I feel a little guilty. Now that we live apart, my bf wants to spend a considerable amount of time together (more than when we lived together) and now i don't want to spend very much time with him. I find myself making excuses not to hang out with him and hang out by myself. I love alone time! I'm rarely lonely. This past weekend, we hung out for maybe an hour, when we normally would spend the night and most of the following day together. I like just hanging out for an hour or two and not having him around for a big chunk of time. I prefer to sleep alone and do what i want to do on my own schedule. 

I feel like i feel like this because of my/our age and maturity but realize it might not be that. What do you guys think?

I prefer to spend time alone rather than with my bf of 4.5 years, normal for this age? Feel guilty, what do you guys think?
