Scenario

When couples lose presence despite increased proximity

My spouse and I both work from home now and we're around each other constantly but somehow we're less present with each other than when we had to make effort to connect. The proximity has made us lazy about actually showing up for each other and we both feel it but don't know how to address it without seeming ungrateful for the time we have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Physical availability can create the illusion of emotional presence while true attention atrophies.
