- Your Partner Balances Alone Time With Couple Time. Even though everyone's needs for alone time are different, there should be a sense of balance between time together and apart.
- They Talk Openly About Their Need For Space. There shouldn't be mystery around your partner's alone time. "It can become a threat to a relationship or a reflection of deeper issues when alone time is not communicated, when it is used aggressively, or as a form of expression, or when it is taken in spite of the other — to get away, ghost, or exclude," Townsend says.
- They’re An Introvert. It’s important to understand core differences between you and your partner, especially regarding how you interact with others. “People who are introverted are going to need much more alone time to fuel their tanks,” says Dr. Nan Wise, a cognitive neuroscientist, licensed sex therapist, and author of Why Good Sex Matters.
