is my partner my best friend or just my roommate now?
Last week, my partner and I realized we’d spent three days in the same apartment barely talking—just scrolling on our phones, eating dinner in silence, and passing each other like ships in the night. It hit me: were we becoming roommates instead of a couple?
So, I suggested we try something new. We put our phones away for an hour every night and just talked. No distractions, no TV. At first, it was awkward. We didn’t know what to say. But soon, we started sharing little things about our day, our dreams, and even silly memories from when we first met.
It made me realize intimacy isn’t just about physical closeness. It’s about feeling safe to be yourself, sharing your weird thoughts, and laughing together over nothing. My tip? Don’t wait for a “perfect moment.” Make time, even if it feels weird at first. You might be surprised by how much closer you feel.
