People in healthy relationships maintain individual friendships and interests Doing things separately keeps the relationship energized. Alone time or friend time is not a threat—it’s a refresh. When trust is high, it’s a positive not a negative.
Example: Carlos hikes with his buddies on weekends. His spouse enjoys book club nights. They reconnect afterward with stories to share.
Note: A big part of this is that folks in healthy relationships reconnect afterward and share stories.
