7. Set new goals for yourself.
Jude Treder-Wolff, licensed clinical social worker who specializes in relationship skill development, “The best way to give a partner space is to dig in and challenge yourself to do something that’s a true challenge and takes you out of your comfort zone.”
So your partner needing space might not be the end of the world, and you can see it as an opportunity to set new goals for yourself, too. Discover new hobbies and try to fill your free time with things you really enjoy doing.
You can either go to the gym, join a yoga class, learn a new language, take a class, or do anything that you’re interested in and sounds fun. This way you won’t feel so bad when your partner is doing something on their own, as well.
