I think that there always is that dance between partners (at least mine and we have been married 31 years) in order to make sure everyone gets what they need. Magill loves to fix things at all times..is constantly working on a project or five...I love to read and will get lost in a book for hours if I am not careful. I am his chief screwdriver holder and he listens to my endless chatter of others adventures. At cocktail/dinner we sit down and make sure we not only appreciate where we are but also that we are there together
Of course we can not compare our lifestyle with yours but we can certainly relate to some things you mention. My escape is music (Spotify, but still), Jouke's escape is taking a walk. Living on a small space together for a longer period of time, can be hard, I guess, if you don't respect eachothers space. But really, we wouldn't know since the longest we've been onboard so far was 1 month.
1 month is a good length of time to get to know how you'd settle into boat life! It's longer than a 'holiday' and you definitely start to understand how it would be more longer-term.

Sounds like the perfect partnership and marriage in so many ways! 31 years, wow :)

But we will let you know in about 3,5 months!
Thanks for sharing!

Everyone, no matter what their wealth, health, lifestyle, creed, age, relationship etc, needs "me" time.
Long may you be a great couple and great individuals
