I know it isn't your situation, but part of the reason my marriage works is that my wife and I both want alone time and are sensitive enough to the other that we realize when that alone time is needed. For example, I know that when she gets home from work, she needs a half hour or so to decompress. Unless there is something *important*, that is what is required for her mental health.
In any relationship, learning that balance between wanting to be with someone and wanting to NOT be with them is part of the game.
On the other hand, I don't like to spend time with my birth family.
