It is inevitable that couples who live together long enough will end up adopting each other's personalities, and mannerisms. However, it is essential for a couple to retain individual identity so as not to risk losing themselves in each other. This is according to relationship expert and counselling psychologist, Benjamin Zulu.
“Maintain your individuality, so you don’t get swallowed up by your partner. You have your unique traits and goals which are not like your partners, and they have theirs. You have to remain authentic.”
