A healthy relationship includes doing things for yourself and spending time with someone besides your significant other. I live with my SO and we see each other all the time but attempt to make it a point to spend an afternoon or two a week with friends and/or family. I don't think it's asking much if you need to spend an afternoon to yourself so you can recharge. Even when I'm with boyfriend sometimes we're doing two different things and I'm in fantasy land following ships on tumblr while he plays video games. If you feel like you need "ME" time, give yourself time to be "ME".
I think it's also fine to tell him you'd like to actually watch movies etc. You can still be intimate with your partner AND watch the movie. Cuddling works! Just make sure you are consenting to advances and letting him know you are okay with what's going on. If you say "no" he should respect it.
