When couples lose their shared dreams and excitement

My partner and I used to dream together about everything — travel, kids, the future — and now we mostly just manage logistics and I can't tell if we've grown up or grown apart. We're functional but I miss the version of us that got excited about things.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The quiet drift from partnership as adventure to partnership as administration often happens so gradually that neither person knows when to grieve what's been lost or fight to get it back.
