Once a relationship becomes more serious, the
focus tends to subtly shift from me to "we."
Instead of planning what you're going to do,
you might notice you're planning what "we're"
going to do. While nothing is wrong with
this, it can overshadow the need to spend
some quality alone time as well. This doesn't
mean alone time with your partner either.
Spending time independently of each other is
a healthy part of any relationship. You need
time to process your thoughts and dreams,
handle stress and just unwind and be
yourself. It has nothing to do with not
wanting to be with the other person. Everyone
needs a little personal space, and it's a
huge sign of respect towards your partner
when you encourage and support their time
alone.
If neither of you have taken the time to be
by yourself in a while, it's certainly time
to make a change |
