If you're a schizoid in a relationship and you either can't or don't wanna end it, but you need space but telling them that isn't an option for whatever reason, consider:
Lying about where you're going once or twice a week
I guarantee you it'll be amazing. 4 or 5 hours just for yourself to do whatever you want without anyone knowing about it and that regularly.
There's a couple of options for this including but not limited to:
- "I have a work meeting at 4pm every Wednesday."
- "A college asked me to cover their shift."
- "I'm going to the gym"
- "I have work to do and there's this work/study café I'd like to go to."
- "I'm going to the library to read about a topic I'm interested in."
- "I have a lecture to attend to"
- "Me and [friend your partner doesn't know or like] are gonna go bowling/golfing/skating/etc every Tuesday afternoon for a couple of weeks."
- "I have a reoccurring appointment on that day."
- "I have a weekly reading group."
Many of these also work for single occasions of extra away time from partner needed.
