How do you remain independent in a relationship?

Cupid’s Advice:

It’s tough to be your own person in a relationship.  Cupid has some pointers when seeking independence:

1. Find a strong partner: Staying independent is a heck of a lot easier if the person you’re dating wants the same thing as you do.

2. Don’t have a ‘failure to communicate’: Don’t be afraid to tell your partner that you would like your own space at times.  If he truly wants to be with you,  he’ll understand.

3. Do your own thing: Although it’s nice to do things as a couple, try doing some activities alone, such as working out or perhaps going out with your girls (or guys).  This can be healthy for the both of you.
