Thanks for your reply, IHJ. I'm talking about soul-mate convos. It's a big difference for me. It's a whole different dimension than the intimate convos I have with friends. But we have to have something to talk about that we don't already know!
My SO and I talked last night. We realized we may spend too much time together. Before kids we had time to pursue separate interests. Something to catch up on with each other. We didn't know everything that had happened to each other during the day. There was mystery. Newness to discover. We've become twins with each other. (I guess we're used to that arrangement!) So we're working on finding ways to be less of an open book to each other. Rediscover separate interests. Remembered when he had to go out-of-town for a death in his family. I got a chance to miss him. The spark flickered.
Thanks for your suggestions. You spent some time on it. I appreciate it. We do those things but the spark is dim. We've gotten used to each other. Even with normal romantic things. Lack of mystery.
