There was a time when you couldn’t keep your hands off each other. The pull was electromagnetic. And the anticipation??? Kept you in a constant state of arousal.

Now you can’t remember the last time you actually looked forward to getting home. And that scares you. Because what does it mean?

Is the relationship FUBAR? Are you destined to live a beige life, separately together?
