What is the problem when you use to spend time together all the time now we spend less and less time together?

Answer 1

• If you are fairly young then the novelty of the relationship has worn off which is normal and there is no longer the mystery of getting to know that person. There could also be a lack of communication and communication in a relationship is more important than even sex. Without good communication skills you really never get to know your partner and they don't get to know what your needs are; your hopes and dreams and plans for the future. If you are older; living together or married then it is plain boredom and lack of good communication skills. Couples often see too much of each other at the beginning and spend almost every waking moment with each other and then the novelty wears off and boredom sets in. Sit down with your partner and discuss this problem and see where your relationship is at and perhaps find ways of being more independent of each other such as seeing each of your friends more often; having a hobby; getting involved in volunteering, etc. Both partners should have other interests in their lives and then choose one or two interests you could both share.
