Is it normal to feel that you need individuality when you are in a relationship?

I have a bf [28M]we’ve been on and off and at first everything is well however, the same issues when it comes to “boundaries” occurs. I just feel like I needed space or a bit of independence or individuality while on relationship but my bf would always like to be “included “ on everything that I do. And would always take my silence or need of space making it always about him and our relationship but all I ever wanted is a but of peace or quite and not having to explain my self all the time. He is aware that I do have “episodes” in my life that I wanted some space and it is not related to him or our relationship. He also knows that most of the time I like to do things independently but he always kinda of like “butt in” on my plans for myself.

Any advice?
