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

Abstract

This article examines the relational approach as a conceptual framework for understanding psychological experiences, particularly within the collectivistic context of Indonesian society. In contrast to conventional approaches that tend to position relationships as external variables, the relational approach conceptualises relationships as the foundation of self-formation and psychological processes. This paper elaborates the core assumptions of the relational approach and highlights its relevance within the indigenous context. Theoretical and practical implications are formulated by emphasising the importance of developing psychological frameworks that move beyond cultural sensitivity, instead grounding their understanding of human experience in relational realities.
