For the first few months, we wanted to spend every minute together, excited about this new phase of our relationship.
We decided to consciously depersonalize the need to decompress by doing something called "rot time."
Meredith Wilshere says her relationship has improved with better communication about the need for alone time.
This way, we don't have to feel guilty about taking what we need, when we need it, without feeling like we're neglecting each other.
Conversations and communication remain crucial to the health of our relationship, and "rot time" helps us decompress.
