Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- We pass each other the day’s logistics and a goodnight, but there’s no moment that’s just ours anymore
- We pass each other like roommates these days, connection only happening if it randomly happens, and there’s no reliable little moment that’s just ours
- We leave and come home with barely a glance
- We share everything — same friends, same schedule, every thought as it lands — and somewhere in all that togetherness the wanting evaporated, like there’s no distance left to feel any pull across.
- Real conversation with my partner only happens by accident now, and when life gets busy it’s the first thing to vanish
