Scenario

When couples lose their sense of play and everything becomes serious

My husband and I used to have inside jokes and silly traditions and now everything feels so serious and responsible and when I try to be playful he looks at me like I'm being childish. We're like roommates who efficiently manage a household but we never just... enjoy each other anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.
