When one partner's time blocking triggers the other's attachment fears

My spouse gets anxious when I block time for myself because they interpret it as rejection and I get resentful when they don't respect my blocked time because it feels like they don't value my autonomy. We're both trying to be supportive but our different relationships to time boundaries are creating constant low-level tension.
