You finally found someone who you think is the person you have searched for all of your life, but then you start to feel as though you have no time to yourself. Everybody wants to have a healthy relationship with their partner, but when you find your perfect mate, you will need to sustain it. One of the mistakes people are inclined to make is that they forget about the "me" time in their relationship.

It's not good for you to always be around your girlfriend or boyfriend. You want to spend a little "me" time so that you have a lot more to offer your partner. This is a common problem with couples - whether they are still in the newlywed level of romance or have been together for a long time.

Many folks spend so much time with their partner that they feel bored and lonely when they are left alone for any period of time. Here are a few simple ideas to give some quality time to yourself so that your relationship remains fresh and you always have something to talk about.

1. Spend an evening reading that book you have been longing to get your hands on. Spending some quiet time at home reading a good book with no disruptions is good for you and will make you feel rested and energised

2. Go and see that film that you have wanted to see, but your partner was not interested in seeing (like a good chick flick if you are a girl, or an action movie if you are a guy). Do not deny yourself something you would like to do only because your partner does not want to do it. This could cause resentment in a relationship and may prove destructive later on if left to continue

3. Visit your family. Spending time with your family may help you keep your relationship strong. We frequently alienate our own family in favour of a brand-new love interest.

4. Go out with friends. spending time with your friends allows you to be yourself without worrying about how you appear to your mate. If your partner seems jelous that you are spending time with your friends, then you should seriously consider if this is the right person for you.

5. Play sports or do your favourite hobby or activity. If you are a golfer for instance, and your partner is not, there is no reason why you should not spend a day at the golf course. Take in a friendly game with someone or just play a round by yourself. If you like to paint or draw, spend time doing it. Just because your mate finds it boring, doesn't mean that you can't do it.

6. Visit an art gallery, or go to the theatre. You can do these things on your own and it will give you something to talk about when you meet up with your partner. If you do everything together then you may find that you lose yourself in the relationship and it could become stale.

7. Go and do some Shopping. You can go shopping and buy something for yourself. If you prefer, you can find something for your partner. Dine out if you would like to splurge on that "huge chocolate desert" you are always too ashamed to have your girlfriend or boyfriend see you devouring. Spend a day window shopping or go exploring the city.

A blossoming relationship demands "me" as much as "we" time. Make certain to plan a healthy dose of both in your relationship. And when your partner begins to find his or her own "me" time, allow him or her the freedom to reconnect with themselves, too. Your relationship will become more stronger and the two of you will remain happy together.
