No Dumb Questions with Mel: How Do I Maintain Independence in a Relationship?

Published: Jan. 31, 2024, 1 a.m.

Today's topic is one I received a lot of votes on for a poll on Instagram. How does one maintain their independence or identity while in a romantic relationship? I've been with my partner for almost 2 years now, and while we are still learning a lot about our preferences, one thing we both learned quickly is that we both highly value our own independence. I share through the WHY aspect of this (*hint hint we both were single for a couple of years & that solo time taught us a lot) & talk through actionable items we take to create that space for ourselves.\n__________________________________________\nHost: Melody Cheng\nEditor: Victoria Cheng\n__________________________________________\nP A R T N E R S\n\u2022 BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month with code \u201cABG\u201d at betterhelp.com/ABG\n__________________________________________\nC O N N E C T W I T H U S\n\u2022 Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook\n\u2022 Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here\n\u2022 Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here\n\u2022 Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com\n__________________________________________\nS U P P O R T U S\n\u2022 Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com\n\u2022 Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support\n\u2022 More about us at asianbossgirl.com\nLearn more about your ad choices.
