Megan Young recently disclosed that she and her husband, Mikael Daez, nearly broke up during the initial years of their relationship. In a podcast interview with Bianca Gonzalez, Young reflected on how her overwhelming love for Daez led her to neglect her own identity.
Young admitted that she had made Daez the center of her world, a move he did not appreciate. She shared, 'I feel like I got lost in love to the point that I didn’t take care of myself.'
A Critical Turning Point
During a pivotal conversation in their third year together, Daez expressed his concerns about Young's intense focus on him. He wanted her to flourish as an individual, stating, 'I want to see Bones for who she really is.'
This honesty almost led them to break up, but it ultimately became a crucial moment for Young. 'I realized I was making Mikael my world, forgetting my own needs,' she said.
The couple, who began dating in 2011, married in January 2020 and welcomed their first child, a son named León, last year. Young's journey emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's identity in a relationship.
