It’s easy to get caught up in love, but sometimes, in the process of building a life with a partner, parts of personal identity can start to fade. In this episode of Together Real Bad, hosts Beautifulll and Ace take a deep dive into what it means to maintain individuality in a long-term relationship.

Three years into their journey, they reflect on the question: Are they still the same people they were at the start, or have they lost pieces of themselves along the way? This conversation isn’t about relationship struggles—it’s about growth, self-awareness, and ensuring that love doesn’t come at the cost of personal identity.
