Self care (which includes "me-time") is essential in relationships. In my past long term relationship, self care was considering and viewed as selfish by my partner. I was always made to feel wrong for wanting time for me, my mental health, my friends, etc. That view was imprinted so deeply into my being, and it has taken me years of healing to de-condition that mindset to know that it's okay to take time for myself. It's key* to take care of yourself in a relationship, and it's also okay to have your own separate hobbies and interests aside from the hobbies and interests you have conjoined with your partner. It strengthens the relationship when you feel good about you. And it also gives ya'll more to talk about when you have that quality time together.&nbsp;

Fill your cup up to pour from the overflow, not the lack thereof. You're a better you for the people around you when you take care of yourself first. And that's not selfish.
