That's a good idea. How can I word it so it sounds like it's about me and not her?
If I say, "I need space" it sounds like I am blaming her for not giving me space.
So if she asks, "What are you doing this summer?"
Can I say, "Oh, I plan on taking care of my mental healthy by spending some 'me' time"
Then maybe she won't ask any further on where I am spending those 'me' time. If she insists on knowing, that's a red flag, right?
