You know, sometimes with adult parents, when you're ready to be treated like an adult, you have to engage in full adulthood and you really have to detach so they don't have anything to hang over your head.

Or even, you know, I'll cook a few days or instead of having a housekeeper, hey, I will clean the house on Saturdays. Perhaps giving a little bit will help them see you as like this autonomous person or even as someone who lives in the home and not just like their kid that they're taking care of.

I hear a lot of self boundaries here. I hear a lot of, I'm going to the movies. Exactly. I am going to grab something to eat and not necessarily inviting your boyfriend to be a part of those things. And when he attaches himself to those experiences, being clear that you are trying to carve out some alone time.

And offering, hey, you know, I'm going to the movies today by myself, but maybe on Saturday we can do this thing. So it's not just I'm spending all of the time by myself. We can do some things together and I want to do things separately in the beginning of relationships. oh gosh, I'm so excited that the honeymoon phase does not last because it's impossible.

The amount of energy you have in the beginning of relationships, it's like, oh, I didn't sleep. I was talking on, it's just, you know, you want to be with this person all the time. And at some point there's this click of, Oh, I have friends. Oh my gosh. Remember I used to be on the soccer team. It's like, where, where was I? You are falling, you know?
