Is Your Relationship Stunting Your Emotional Growth?
You have to do the things you love alone:
Going to the opera, volunteering at a soup kitchen, going on long drives—whatever it is that you love to do, your boyfriend won’t do with you. He doesn’t ask you not to do it, but he won’t accompany you. And whether you want to admit it or not, if your partner won’t do your favorite activities with you, you’ll inevitably do them less, and you’ll lose the enrichment you used to get from them.
