Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of ‘me-time’ among dual-income couples experiencing long-distance relationships. Me-time can help prevent and cope with the potential negative impacts of such conditions, while also contributing to personal well-being. However, exploration of this phenomenon remains limited, particularly in Indonesia. This study employed a phenomenological method with descriptive analysis. Data were collected from three working couples from Indonesia through elicited synchronous audio calls and self-reports regarding their me-time activities over a specific period. The study identified five qualitative characteristics of the meaning of me-time: basic needs and self-reward, replenishing resources, personal fulfillment, shared satisfaction with children, and temporary detachment from role demands. The findings also indicate a shift in the meaning of me-time during long-distance relationships, from shared relational experiences toward more individual and personally meaningful activities. The consistency of engaging in me-time is supported by autonomy and a sense of ownership over personal time, which serve as important means of maintaining psychological and relational well-being within a collectivistic cultural context. Keywords: long-distance relationships,  ‘me-time’, working couple
