What I learned shocked me:










Sitting on the couch next to each other, both on your phones, barely speaking - feeling lonely even though you're in the same room
Initiating everything - from conversations to intimacy to quality time—and feeling exhausted from being the only one trying
Conversation that’s mostly about logistics or kids -connecting feels like just a checklist, and you can’t remember the last time you laughed together
Questioning whether he’s still attracted to you - he doesn't look up when you walk in the room or notice when you've put in effort with your appearance
Wondering if you're just incompatible and whether this numb, disconnected feeling is just what marriage becomes
Considering separation or divorce because you can't imagine living like roommates for the rest of your life
Natural, spontaneous connection - he seeks you out for conversation and touch without you having to ask or initiate
He smiles when you walk in - and keeps his attention on you because you're the most fascinating thing in the room
Changes that stick - sustainable transformation instead of the exhausting "good for a week" cycle you've been stuck in
Feeling desired and pursued again - like you did when you first fell in love, but even better because it's deeper now
Genuine emotional intimacy - real conversations where he opens up and shares what's going on inside, not just surface-level small talk
The playfulness and laughter are back - you're having fun together again, teasing, joking, and enjoying each other's company
