"Don't you ever feel lonely and jealous when your partner's out on a date and you're not?"
Haha, oh, my sweet summer child.
You underestimate what a treat it is to spend a night by myself, eating pizza bagels & watching Studio Ghibli, with absolutely no need to entertain anyone else.
Don't get me wrong -- I love my partners! But I love them a heck of a lot more when I get to be away from them sometimes.
Society expects us to live in each others' pockets, and to spend very little time alone. But for an introvert like me? Time all by myself, unobserved and unaccompanied, is an absolute necessity.
I love knowing that my more-extroverted partner is out getting their social needs met, while I'm having my delightful goblin-time.

@Polywog@lgbtqia.space this a healthy thing to do in a monogamous relationship. Having your own time is essential, no matter how you live your life
