Want to move to the couch?” | | From cuddle to “I need space” | A partner may need alone time after a long day. | A gentle “I’ll be here when you’re ready” keeps the emotional door open. | | From cuddle to “We’re falling asleep” | The cuddle becomes a nap. | Nothing wrong! Falling asleep together can be a wonderful bonding moment. | It hit me like a cold shower
