Healthy couples naturally want to spend a lot of time together. But when one partner has to leave temporarily, it can lead to some surprising benefits for both of them. Here's why, explains DrAliceBoyes
We sometimes blame partners unfairly for our own poor self-regulation. For example, we blame them for why we don't eat better. However, sometimes our partner's presence does adversely affect us in intriguing ways.
Curiously, I often find I'm more productive when my spouse isn't home, even though I'm looking after our kids alone. Figuring out why this is the case can be helpful. For example, I need to be better organized when my spouse is away, and this tends to benefit my productivity.I've alluded to this theme elsewhere but it's so important I wanted to make it its own distinct point.
If one person is away pursuing their interests or goals, the person left at home can do this more, too. This can involve interests pursued while looking after children, like activities you do with your children.Part of how people develop new skills is through making mistakes. When your partner isn't at home, it can be easier to try new routines or ways of doing things, without
of critical comments or interference. You can get some breathing space to iterate—to try new ways of getting things done and tweak them until those routines work well.
