How Not To Lose Yourself In Your Relationship

Early in a relationship, you and your partner want to share everything, and do everything together. And as the relationship deepens, you might feel like you're losing yourself in the relationship or you feel like you're losing your identity.

Losing yourself in a relationship can create resentment, anxiety, cause you to rebel, or even hopelessness. These behaviors and issues can end relationships. Here are some ideas on how you can keep the love of your life and not lose yourself at the same time.

Your friends might not tell you this, but they may not always want your partner around when it's ladies night. Your partner may want you all to himself, but let him know that you need to spend some time alone with your friends. . It's good to maintain the friendships that existed before you were in a relationship. Having you own friends will benefit the relationship because it gives each of you your own space.

You don't have to spend all your time doing activities with your partner. Make time for yourself. Get a hobby, spend time doing things alone like, shopping, relaxing, yoga, working out, etc.

Be yourself, not a version of what everyone else thinks you should be. Stand up for yourself, and let everyone know you will not change for anything or anyone.

Don't sacrifice your dreams for anyone. Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you should give up your dreams. Your dream and life goals are as important as your partners, they are what defines us and gives us something to strive for.


You can be with someone and still be yourself.
