3. Set a time when you do your own thing: “I have a lot of work to get done. Can you let me do my thing until next week?”
“I love my boyfriend, but I need to set my priorities and have some structure.” It’s OK not to prioritize your boyfriend when you are busy. To help you focus on what you need to get done, set a time period when you can give each other more space, so you can give each other your full attention when you are together.
