When couples lose enthusiasm for their shared garden project

My partner and I started this garden together two years ago with such excitement about growing our own food, but now it feels like work we avoid and we keep making jokes about our 'expensive compost pile' instead of talking about why neither of us wants to go out there anymore. We used to plan meals around what we'd harvest and now we just feel guilty walking past the overgrown beds.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The weight of unmet expectations has replaced the joy of cultivation, and humor has become a way to avoid grieving the dream together.
