Cee Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I have been trying to keep my social life the same even though I have a BF. As a result, I have sacrificed my alone time. And I'm the type of person who needs lots of solitude to recharge. I've been going out 6-7 days a week. So I'm burnt out. Can somebody talk sense into me about balance in my life. Or share words of wisdom. I haven't had a boyfriend in many years so I don't know how to prioritize the many good things in my life. I don't want to lose my friends. How do you keep your life in balance?
betterdeal Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Talk talk talk! Talk to your friends and your boyfriend and let them all know that you'll have a couple of days to yourself next week. Explain that it's part of what makes you happy and it's not a problem. You have to find a balance between all the important people in your life, and that includes your boyfriend, your friends and your self. If they want to know the you that they love, you need this time.
carhill Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Sure.. 'I need some quiet time to recharge. Please accept my regrets.' A more direct, less explanatory version.... 'Thanks, but I'm unavailable. Maybe next time' To boyfriend... 'I feel overwhelmed going out 6-7 times a week. How do you feel about that?'
