I feel like we’re not really happy anymore.
We’ve been together for a little more than a year. Until quite recently there was so much passion, love, and laughter. Everything felt intense and easy. We always talked about how our apartment would look like or who would be invited in our marriage. We were really in love and acted like kids together all the time. It felt natural and full.
Now when we spend time together, we mostly just watch a show. And when we talk, the conversations are short and usually about other people or random stuff.
We don’t talk for hours anymore, on the phone or in person. We don’t really share thoughts, experiences, or laugh like we used to. We don’t just sit together and cuddle for hours, touching each other appreciating each other feeling closer and more in love. That kind of intimacy feels like it’s disappearing.
We’ve stopped talking about the future and things we want to do together. We don’t act playful or silly anymore. Even the small things like just looking at each other without saying anything feel gone.
I don’t know if this is just a normal phase in a long-term relationship or if it means something is wrong. I’d really appreciate any advice or similar experiences.
