Losing identity?
| Sun, 06-27-2004 - 10:17am |
Last night my boyfriend said he feels sometimes like in this relationship we are always "us" rather than individuals, like sometimes we lose our identities. He said not to worry and that I'm far from losing him. How can I fix the slight "identity crisis"?

- doing your own thing more often - hobbies, a movie without the other person their.etc.
- make sure you keep in touch with your friends that you had before the 2 of you.
- if the 2 of you spend every spare minute together it becomes "us" rather than "you" and "me." be sure to plan time for yourselves as individuals to choose do things with other people and keep learning about other people/things outside of your own world/s.
- make a point of learning about each other separate from who you are together. Point out your differences in a positive light - diversity is great and keeps life interesting. One compliments the other.
-if you consider your partner a very special friend, or perhaps a soul mate - be sensitive to the other's needs and remember not to take each other forgranted.
Just my 2 cents worth. good luck.
