Have you ever felt guilty for wanting alone time? Or wondered why you and your partner always seem to want different things at social events?
In this honest conversation, we dive into one of the most overlooked tensions in relationships: the balance between connection and autonomy. It all started with a simple solution to a recurring fight - taking separate cars to family events - but it opened up a much deeper discussion about social batteries, alone time, and the pressure couples face to do everything together.
If you've ever felt torn between wanting connection and craving autonomy, this conversation will help you see that you can have both - you just need to get creative about how.
