My partner and I started this ambitious vegetable garden together last spring with so many plans and excitement, but now it feels like we're just going through the motions - they handle the tomatoes, I deal with the herbs, and we barely talk about what we're growing anymore. We used to spend hours planning new beds and laughing at our failures, but somewhere along the way it became just another chore we divide up.
More people experience this than they realize.
The garden has become a metaphor for their relationship - functionally divided but emotionally disconnected.
