Sure Signs You Have A Relationship Built To Last

You Have Separate Lives

No, this doesn’t entail you going out and having relationships with other individuals or an open relationship (unless that’s what you’re into). However, it is necessary for a successful relationship to have some breathing room. This means you do not have to be with your partner every second of the day, but rather, go and live your own life separate from them. Pursue new hobbies or indulge in your passions, find a career path you enjoy, spending time with your friends (and not just theirs), and spending alone time with yourself is not only necessary for self-care, but allows you to grow as an individual and focus on your own needs too. As long as trust and respect have been established and your significant other supports your choices, then go for it and actively pursue your own goals. Let’s face it, if you’re together all the time it could lead to disagreements and fights and both of you getting under each other's skin, which can break down the relationship. Besides, as the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
