  • Hi, welcome back to Eat Your Crust Podcast.

  • I'm Crystal.

  • And I'm Jisoo.

  • So today we have a relationship topic to cover,

  • and I actually think this concept is quite important,

  • and I'm feeling its importance grow a little bit more even in recent months.

  • Today we're going to discuss maintaining independence in a relationship.

  • Quick context for our listeners, if anyone is new to this podcast,

  • Crystal and I are both in long-term relationships.

  • I guess it's more accurate to say that I'm in a marriage now.

  • So we are in it and committed and I think have a lot of learnings to share in terms of maintaining independence.

  • And I think maintaining independence is a big thing for me

  • because I value alone time a lot and I'm definitely more of an introvert.

  • So I think it comes naturally with the territory.

  • And sometimes it's easy to get like really consumed in a relationship,

  • especially in the beginning.

  • And then I feel like as things develop and normalize and routines form,

  • you start to realize,

  • huh, I need to make sure that I have time for myself too.

  • Honestly, I think this concept is something that I had to actively learn.
