My partner and I started as best friends in college and we've been together romantically for six years now, but lately we've been feeling more like roommates who have sex occasionally. We miss the friendship that was the foundation of everything, but we don't know how to get back to that easy intimacy without feeling like we're going backwards.
More people experience this than they realize.
When romantic partnership overshadows the foundational friendship, couples must learn to inhabit both forms of love simultaneously rather than sequentially.
