Ep.135 Having Alone Time in a Relationsh...

Alia Zaita & Yoni Ekoto
About this episode

Having alone time in a relationship is just as important as spending time together. But sometimes it's easy to forget. While you and your partner are in love and love spending time together, there comes a point where you just want a moment to yourself by yourself, especially if you live together! This looks different in every relationship, some deal with this with no problem and some couples seem to struggle and are not sure how to go about it. As we always say, communication is the key.

In this episode, we shared our experience with having alone time while living together. Hope you enjoy and please let us know your thoughts! :-)
