My partner and I used to riff off each other's jokes and build these elaborate comedic bits together, but lately when one of us tries to be funny the other person just gives a polite laugh and changes the subject. We both notice it but neither of us knows how to talk about why our humor doesn't connect anymore without it feeling like we're dissecting a dead frog.
More people experience this than they realize.
The spontaneous joy of collaborative humor has been replaced by polite distance, and both people sense something essential is missing but fear that analyzing it will kill what's left.
