What happens when you’re dating someone who needs large amounts of alone time? How do you not start to feel neglected? In this week’s brunch talk, we’re talking about the balance of your personal well-being with your partners needs. We discuss what a healthy amount of independence looks like, how you can make both yourself and your partner a priority, and why independence doesn’t have to be imbalance.
