My spouse and I live this. We can both be doing completely different things, but as long as we're in the same room we're happy. Took me too long to realize we don't have to share everything

So nice when you find this. But also nice when you find someone who wants to do things with you.
Typing this as my partner is next to me reading one of her smut books on the kindle, I can feel the love. (no sarcasm lol)
Me and my girlfriend do things in different rooms but watch a movie or tv show together every evening the same time. That little fixed routine really works for us.
meow😿
Parallel play is great :)
Yep. We're both on our phones doing different shit. Or she's taking a nap while I sit next to her while I'm on a break while I wfh. It's still quality time, though I hope we go hiking again (an injury happened).
