Before I write this out, I want to make note that my girlfriend has a wonderful heart, she's a solid SO and does very little wrong. We have decent lines of communication and can usually talk about relationship stuff without feelings being drastically hurt, but I don't know how to address the topic of her being quite overbearing. I doubt anyone handles this topic well.

We've been dating for 9 months now. She's 19, im 23... Things are overall great. She's fun, extroverted, caring and loyal. I'm more introverted, but everything else follows for me as well. We fight often but get through things rather quickly. However here recently I've been feeling like she has become overbearing. We hang out every free moment from work or school, and when I want to hang out with others I don't because I know I'll be guilted over it. I like my free time (playing video games over a few beers, just lounging around), I need it to feel better about myself oddly... It kind of calms my system down. I don't need a bar trip or a party... Anything of that sort. Honestly, I just feel like I'm confined to work, school and her. She feels she should have all my attention, she wants to have sex everyday, she wants to hang out everyday and if none of this happens she'll say she misses me or guilts me into doing those things.

I am very attracted to my partner, I enjoy spending time with her and I do miss her often when we don't get to see each other because of busy schedules, but sometimes I just need some time alone and I don't feel like I'm getting enough of it and I can slowly feel a bursting bubble building inside of me. IS there a way to discuss this with my partner in a positive manner without feelings being destroyed or ruining our solid relationship?

not getting any alone time outside of work and school. Girlfriend wants to hang out every waking moment, if not
