Things You Should Be Comfortable Discussing With Your Partner
Your alone time needs
It is not only okay but actually very good to have alone time, even when in a relationship. Maybe for you that means one hour a day to meditate, journal, and practice other forms of self-care. Maybe you take Sunday mornings to go to church alone. Maybe you like to do a solo road trip once a year. And even on a case-by-case basis, maybe when certain types of events – like upsetting situations – happen, you could be the type of person who needs to sit quietly alone to process them. You should be able to communicate those needs to a partner without fear that he’ll become insecure or take it personally.
