Megan Young admitted that she and husband Mikael Daez almost ended their relationship during a difficult period in their romance.
The actress and former Miss World 2013 titleholder opened up about the experience during her guest appearance on ‘Paano Ba ‘To’ hosted by Bianca Gonzalez.
During the conversation, Megan reflected on the importance of maintaining individuality while being in a relationship.
“I feel like I got lost in love to the point that I didn’t take care of myself. I loved Mikael so much that I made him my world, but he hated that. And he didn’t like na it was all about him,” Megan shared.
“Kasi sabi niya, I started dating you and you had your own thing. I want to see Bones, that’s what he calls me, for who she really is. I am not your world. I’m a part of it, sabi niya. And I want you to just do your own thing and flourish. If your schedule has to revolve around me, I don’t want that,” she added.
According to Megan, the issue eventually led to a serious conversation between them during their third year as a couple.
“So parang we were in our three years of relationship na and we had a very, very intense conversation kasi muntik na kaming mag-break nung time na to dahil ayaw niya talagang ginagawa ko siyang mundo [ko],” she revealed.
“And I really had come to realize na, ‘Oo nga no. Parang masyado kong ginagawang center of my life si Mikael na hindi naman dapat. Na nakakalimutan ko na din sarili ko, na I am my own person and I can do anything without him because even before I met him, I was able to do all these things,” Megan continued.
The actress said the experience became a wake-up call for her and helped her better understand the importance of personal growth even within a committed relationship.
Megan emphasized that couples should continue making time for their own passions, friendships, and personal development outside of their partnership.
Megan and Mikael tied the knot in 2020 after several years of dating.
