Signs You Could Use Some Alone Time and How to Bring it Up Without Hurting Your Partner's Feelings: Episode 131

Signs You Could Use Some Alone Time and How to Bring it Up Without Hurting Your Partner's Feelings: Episode 131

Healthy relationships consist of both time together and time apart. Which of course can feel much harder (and even more necessary) right now. Perhaps you've been needing some "alone time," but haven't expressed it to your partner. Or, you've mentioned it before, but no action was put in place so it's a point of tension between you two now.

In today's episode, we'll discuss:

  • Signs that alone time would be helpful for your relationship
  • How much alone time is healthy
  • How to bring it up to your partner so it doesn't hurt their feelings
  • Examples of what alone time can look like, even during quarantine times, or if you have kids

Resources For Your Relationship:

Also, make sure you read about The LIVE Couples Workshop on Sunday February 21st. You will communicate better and resolve conflicts faster...in just 5 hours, instead of 5 months.
