Me Time vs. Husband/Wife Time

I'm having ME time and I'm loving it. With my encouragement, my husband went out with his friend. He doesn't go out too often and I encouraged him to go out and have fun, to hang out and be a guy. Plus, with him being out, it gives me time to myself.

I love having ME time. It gives me time to think, to relax, to watch the shows I want to watch, to be a woman. Woman need to have alone time; to be away from their significant other at times and not be so "clingy". I love having my own space and love that my husband can also have his own space.

Women tend to cling to their men because of their lack of self-esteem and vice-versa. I think every relationship needs to have time and space once in a while. Being around your significant other 24/7 could drive couples to arguments, contempt, animosity, among other feelings that can arise from being around each other too long. It is almost comparable to people who work together on an everyday basis. There are always tension among co-workers and peers when time spent together weighs more then time they spend doing other things enjoyable.

Couples who take the time for themselves are more likely to survive the ups and downs of a relationship. It's like when you argue. It's best to walk away and come back later when you're head is straight and you are able to talk things through. I'm not a relationship expert or anything, but I know what works with me and what doesn't. Each couple is different and you have to try every venture possible to find out whats right for you.

I love the relationship my husband and I have. We are open with each other, we have our time together and we have our time apart. The time apart makes us miss each other and gives us something to talk about. This works for me..this works for us.
