Although there should be no secrets in the couple, this does not mean that we have the right to invade their privacy at all times without respecting their personal space. We must keep in mind that we are individuals who are in a relationship by choice and not by obligation! But even though we are in a couple, we should never lose our individuality, because otherwise we will lose ourselves.
Importance of privacy in the couple
Personal space and privacy are essential so that each person can feel comfortable wherever they are. If lately you are feeling that your partner is overwhelmed, you may want to consider whether you are respecting their personal space in the way you should.
- It is important to maintain individuality: By this we mean continuing to be independent people despite being in a relationship. Able to make our own decisions, without having to depend on the approval of anything or anyone.
- Trust is fostered: Giving your space to our partner is giving him full confidence that he will not betray us at any time. And therefore, the relationship improves.
- They always have something to talk about: If everyone has the opportunity to live their own experiences, you will always have something to share with your partner when you are together. They will never be without topics of conversation.
- They continue to grow as people: Everything that is learned being in the company of the couple, is reaffirmed in us when we can have some alone time to process it.
- It is a symbol of emotional stability: By having confidence in the couple, the ability to not get carried away by bad thoughts is reinforced in us. If we feel comfortable with ourselves, we will be safe with our partner, and therefore we will not have the need to be with them 24/7.
How to impose healthy boundaries on the relationship?
This is an issue that must be clarified from the beginning of the relationship, because despite being important it is usually overlooked between couples. Do you like to maintain your privacy and personal space? Then follow these tips:
- It’s not about hiding things, but about showing that he can trust you: With small gestures such as reading a message for you, lending him your phone from time to time, telling details of an outing with friends …
- Treat with respect: A couple becomes an extension of us, so you should get used to telling them everything you do. He shouldn’t necessarily be with you, but any plans or changes of plans he has, out of respect and love, the least you can do is keep him informed about it.
- Personal belongings are not taken without permission: Like your phone, tablets, or computers. They are private things, which we can certainly use as long as we have the permission of the owner, which in this case is your partner.
Respect the privacy of the couple
Each couple has their own level of intimacy, and it will be up to them to determine how deep their relationship is by improving intimacy more and more. But this is something that must be done little by little, since otherwise we could seriously bother the couple making the relationship not the same again.
- Grooming: It’s one thing to take a sensual bath together, to take time for deep grooming. Many girls prefer this moment to be private, so do not harm it so abruptly without first having permission granted.
- Own money: Apart from the common fund that every couple should have, everyone works for their own money. And it will be up to each one to do with it what he wants, without neglecting the needs of the home.
- Learning moments: For example, when reading a book, meditating or studying, it is important to respect the intimacy of the couple. We all need some alone time, and therefore it is important that this is respected at all times.
