Scenario

When couples feel guilty about low-energy togetherness

My wife and I finally get the kids to bed and then we're both too drained to talk but we feel like we should be having couple time, so we sit together scrolling separately and feel bad about it, but forcing conversation feels even worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The belief that meaningful time requires high engagement can make quiet coexistence feel like failure rather than its own form of intimacy.
