if this is whats meant in the OP...Alone time in any relationship, not just marriage, is neccessary for sanity. You can share pain and struggles but you also need time for self to deal with things in your own manor. I've been married 16 years and each year my wife and I take separate trips with our friends as "our time."
how many times you been caught cheating?My girl be tripping on this. She thinks alone time is some evil word. We should be stuck together at all times
Lol never.how many times you been caught cheating?
If you mean conceptually...yes...you should always have your alone time.
If you're asking if it happens...it don't think it happens as much as it should. Especially with phones...social media...and this constant expectation for rapid response. If I'm busy or don't want to be bothered I'm expected to send you a message to let you know....which defeats the purpose of being too busy/not wanting to be bothered.
Today...you can be in a different country than the person you're dating, and they can still smother you
Alone time should always be supported, however, communication should still be the utmost priority. If you are in a relationship, avoiding them is not the ideal way of dealing with whatever it is you are dealing with. Avoiding and closing off communication only increases anxiety and tension between the couple.
I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking because someone needs time alone/doesn't want to talk they're avoiding someone. Ppl tend to view communication from a very vanilla lens.
Different people have different personalities and different ways to handling things. Some people need space to reflect, calm down, take a second to think about things from a different point of view. If a person is like that you'd actually be doing more damage to the relationship by trying to get them to talk on your terms instead of compromising. Sometimes the other person doesn't suck at communicating....they just don't communicate the way you would prefer
If you have time alone you might have time to think about being alone... or even worse.... about being with someone else.Lol never.
But I met her while cheating, but that's another story.
