Have you ever spent a night apart from your partner? This might sound like the perfect relationship for those who are together all the time, but many relationship experts believe it might need to be healthier!

Spending some time apart can strengthen your relationship. It makes the time you spend together that much sweeter. Plus, there are other benefits, too.

Discover why you might want to be like a boomerang in your relationship. You go away, but you always come back.

Couples That Are Better Together, Are Better Apart

The boomerang approach to relationships is a wise philosophy for you and your partner. Neither of you will feel trapped, smothered, or like you’re getting lost in the shuffle of togetherness.

You get the benefits of being together and keeping and nurturing your individuality.

What does this mean? Simply, it means you don’t try to spend every waking moment together. You both look for experiences outside of your relationship. You’ll spend the majority of your nights together, but at the same time, you’ll also occasionally go out with your individual friends without your partner.

You might go to hen or stag parties without your other half. You might have some hobbies that your partner doesn’t share. Maybe you even go on short holidays!

Why Time Apart is a Good Thing

So, why is spending time apart such a good thing? Plenty of reasons!

Spending time apart means you both have new and exciting experiences that you can share. If you spend all your time in each other’s company, you don’t have as much to talk about.

At the same time, spending time apart allows you to miss each other, which means you’ll appreciate your time together all the more.

Another reason spending time apart is good is that it allows you to pursue individual friends and activities. If you want to know your friends inside and out, you sometimes need to have a good one-to-one chat without your partner.

Likewise, it might be that your other half doesn’t enjoy poolside holidays or clubbing holidays as much as you do.

Avoid letting your other passions, hobbies, and friendships fall by the wayside just because you now have a romantic partner. After all, all those hobbies, interests, and friendships made you into the person you are – and the person you fell in love with.

You need to keep these things alive that help makes you who you are, lest your relationship grow stale and you grow resentful or feel trapped.

The Importance of Independence

And anyway, it pays to have some other interests if you find yourself single again one day. If your relationship is your entire life, then this can make it incredibly hard to recover if you ever lose this partner.

The worst-case scenario is that you can end up so reliant on your other half that you cannot face the thought of being without them.

You then end up staying in the relationship for the wrong reasons – out of fear and not because you want to be with them.

Love your partner, yourself, togetherness, and uniqueness by being a boomerang! Try it and experience the benefits for yourself.
