I’m 31F and in my first long term relationship. We’re coming up on 4 years together and have been spending most of our time living together recently. I’ve realized that while I love the comfort we have with each other, I’ve also become a little… lazy? Not in terms of caring about my partner, but in terms of effort. Early on, I’d be excited about dates, dressing up, creating anticipation around intimacy, and generally trying to keep things fun and special. These days it’s easy to default to routines. I’m curious whether this is a normal stage of long term relationships or something people actively work against. For men who have been with their partners for many years- What’s something your partner used to do early in the relationship that you secretly wish she still did as often today? Is there a part of your relationship that has stayed the same after all these years, something you were afraid would disappear but never did? Would love to hear honest answers, especially from people who’ve been together long enough to move past the honeymoon phase. submitted by /u/No-Comedian-3066
