My partner and I used to have so much fun playing tennis together but now every match turns into this tense competition where we both get frustrated and it's sucking all the joy out of something we used to love. We keep saying we should just play for fun but neither of us can seem to actually do it.
More people experience this than they realize.
Competition has crowded out connection, and you've forgotten how to play together rather than against each other.
