chapter that i think is actually very important if you're in a relationship so question 233 is it okay if i participate in some of your rituals and routines but not all i like this question because sometimes people want alone time and sometimes people are afraid to ask right so sometimes

people like they need to go, they need to do their grocery store run in the morning or they, they were in LA, right? They love to go to Erewhon in the morning and that's their moment of Zen. That's their bank bringing moment of Zen, but they like to do that. And their partner is, wants to spend time with them and they just need a moment alone.

But the person going to Erewhon is afraid to hurt the other one's feelings so doesn't say something. And the person that's joining them really just wants to be with their partner. And so that creates friction when if they just had a conversation that's like, I love you, but for my sanity, this has nothing to do with our partnership. I just need a moment alone. Could you let me have that?

Would it be okay with you? And then we can go do this later. So I find that sometimes people need alone time, but they're afraid to talk about it.

And, and to say to the other person, I don't love the word needy, but might be the more needy person in the relationship. I'm going to make you feel secure by doing whatever you need to feel secure, but you need to trust me that this will help this alone time will help me be a better partner.

So this is a fun one. This is just a great question that you can ask yourself. Actually, when you're getting to know someone or when you're together for a while, if we were stuck on a desert island together, what natural strengths would you bring to the table to help us survive and thrive? Not what things would you bring? But what strengths would you bring?

And it takes you down this beautiful rabbit hole of conversation. And when you've been with someone for a long time, it's interesting to hear what they think you bring versus what you think you would bring. So like I call my husband my life navigator because not only do I feel comfortable with him making decisions in our life, he happens to be a great map navigator.

So when we're on trips, he loves to be nerding out on those maps. And I trust him in any new city. But actually to take that plunge together and to play that game is a really fun, intimate exercise.
