You’re right Don! “Me Time” is so important. I can’t even lie, if a woman doesn’t understand my need for time to myself…that’s likely to be a deal breaker.
Thank you so much for listening to the podcast Don. I truly appreciate that and you taking the time to answer the question and share your thoughts. Thanks!
