I want to travel alone, but I feel like he wouldn’t understand why I want to go without him.

I think it's really important to put intentional effort into maintaining your autonomy in close relationships. I adore my husband, I respect and value his intellect and opinions, and vice versa. Because of this, it can be easy to defer to him on things, especially if I'm already struggling with decision fatigue, or I'm distracted. I trust him deeply, and know that he takes me into consideration in everything he does. But I'm careful to monitor how often I defer to him, because I don't want to risk it developing into a habit of not considering myself or people pleasing type behavior. I try to ensure that I'm frequently taking time to consult myself, and what I truly want. It can be hard to slow down and look inward at my needs and desires, because life is busy, but it's a worthwhile habit and skill to build. I'm thankful to have a partner who will take the time to remind me that he actively seeks my thoughts about things because he values my wants, needs and opinions, which then prompts me to take a moment and figure out how I feel. I notice that I feel more grounded and centered when I put regular effort into making at least some small decisions or plans entirely on my own. I still communicate when I decide on something that might affect him, but it's more of an announcement than asking his opinion. If I'm overlooking something, or missing information, he has the opportunity to fill me in, and it might become a discussion, but usually he thanks me for letting him know, and asks if I need anything from him. A good example of this - "hey, since you're off work, I'm going to take the car and run some errands this afternoon, I want to get out of the house." he might say "oh, I actually just agreed to cover a shift for someone" which would then prompt a discussion. let's say we agree that I'll drop him off at work, and on the way he asks what errands I need to run, and we chat about it. If while I'm out, I happen to see a new shop, and I decide to honor my curiosity and pop in to check it out. It wasn't part of the errands I told him about. I'll probably tell him about it when he gets off work. But I feel completely comfortable making the call to stop in.

I absolutely love your content and your ability to articulate the thoughts that many of your followers also have. I am a divorced mother with a large family. I am currently dating. Yet, I am leary of marriage again because I throughly enjoy my autonomy. I realized that I never had autonomy in my marriage. I do not have a framework for a healthy marriage. Therefore, marriage seems very oppressive to me. This video helped me realize this is because I deeply desire to have a say in my own life.

I love traveling alone! my spouse says he can see it on Google images and that's good enough for him, I love having his support in my solo travels!

Yes. I don’t need your permission or approval for most things. There are individual matters and there are joint matters.

Thank you so much for this series! Aside from the more short-term “pain” with adjusting/transitioning away from centering your husband, may I ask what your least favorite aspect of this decentering would be?

THIS. My husband and I live this way too. We have freedom to be who we are, which serendipitously brings us closer. Truly, we have a great marriage because we give each other space to be exactly who we are no matter what iteration. Thank you for sharing your experience, and for sure, not easy to get to that place in a marriage!

I’m so glad I came across your videos. As I’m entering my 50’s, I’m on a journey of centering myself. It took me a long time to realize that I gave away my autonomy for many years and I’m now on the road to taking it back. Thank you for sharing.

I love this series, thank you from an older woman. I feel validated in how I have navigated my relationship of 18 years (we met in our 40’s), and also, you have helped me see areas where I did some centering of my partner that I am working to change.

Thank you for sharing examples. I was wondering if it could lead to inconsiderate behavior (like not letting the other know that they’re going to dinner with friends, leaving the other wondering where they are), but it sounds like you’re talking about the bigger things. How are you dealing with times you really do want his opinion/advice when making a decision? I’d think you’d worry about falling back into old patterns when you actually just want his opinion.
