Balancing togetherness and individuality is undoubtedly the key to a healthy relationship. Being a couple and at the same time maintaining a strong sense of yourself is not an easy one but it is important to manage your need for time together as well as your need for time apart.
There is certainly nothing wrong with being apart and doing 'your own thing' however it is important to find the middle ground and make sure that both you and your partner have quality time together and apart.
When you run out of conversation and have nothing to say to each other, there is a real chance that your relationship could be heading towards serious problems. You may wonder why you are going out to eat in a restaurant if you are just looking at the walls or talking about the food that you are eating!
Now there is nothing wrong with sitting in silence and just feeling content with the fact that you are doing so and it is true that some couples speak more than others and that is fine but the warning signs are there when you look at your partner and think to yourself "I actually don't want to speak to them".
