Keep your own interests and passions alive in a relationship. When both partners pursue separate activities and bring different perspectives home, the relationship gets stronger, not weaker. It's a balanced exchange where you both contribute more because you're fuller people.
Number 3, don't forget to do you. You have your own interests, you have the things that you want to do, the experiences that you want to have, you have strengths that you bring. Chances are you got together because you're different and your differences make you stronger. Being in a relationship with someone doesn't mean you do everything that they want to do. It's a give and take. Everybody does their piece. Everybody has the opportunity to do the things that they love. It's never one-sided. It's a partnership for a reason. So, what can you do? Keep doing the things that you love because when you get to do things outside of the relationship, the experiences and the connections that you bring back into the relationship actually make the relationship stronger
