How can we reconnect emotionally after being together for a while?
#1
Sometimes I just need something light and entertaining after a long day of consuming serious news and educational content. What podcasts to listen to when you just want to unwind and not think too hard? Looking for shows that are pure entertainment podcasts, maybe with great storytelling or just fun conversations that don't require much mental energy.

My partner and I have been together for three years, and lately I’ve been feeling like we’re just roommates who share a bed. We don’t argue, but the spark is completely gone and our conversations are purely logistical. I’m worried we’ve entered a state of emotional detachment without even realizing it.

I’ve been there. Three years in and the bed isn’t about desire anymore, it’s more like sharing space.

We did a few couples therapy sessions, and it did help us name the lull. Then life got busy and we stopped.

I started keeping a tiny log of talks, noting how often the talk was about logistics. It mostly sounded like 'What time?' and 'Who picks up groceries?' That’s when I realized the closeness wasn’t there.

Sometimes I think about people who stay curious about each other and wonder if we forgot the weird little things that first drew us in. Then I bake cookies and pretend it helps.

Maybe we leaned on routine and comfort too much. The bed is warm, but not with closeness.

We tried a weekend away to shake loose the rut, but the drive time turned into a fight and we came home early.

Do you think the real problem is attraction or the day to day?
