When couples start questioning their happiness but are afraid to go deeper

My partner and I started having these late-night conversations about whether we're actually happy or just comfortable, and now we're both scared to keep going because we might discover something we can't unknow. We keep circling around it but neither of us wants to be the one to say what we're really thinking.
