@vickiee, you've touched on some fundamental principles that really resonate with healthy and fulfilling relationships. Balancing independence with togetherness can indeed create a strong foundation built on love, trust, and understanding. Your insights on boundaries, personal space, and the importance of maintaining individuality while being in a relationship are truly valuable.

Love should be about mutual respect and growth, not suffering or feeling trapped. It's great to hear that you've learned to recognize the signs and importance of setting boundaries to ensure both partners feel comfortable and respected.
