Usable Insight – Are you and your partner more roommates than lovers?
Intimate relationships end not because you stop loving each other,
but because you stop being in love with each other.
- Mark Goulston, M.D.
In another blog I wrote about relationships ending not because you stop loving each other, but because you stop liking each other. Several people told me that might be fine for older couples, but for younger couples who like each other, intimate relationships can end when you stop feeling sexual excitement and start feeling like roommates or brother and sister.
Point well taken. So to check out where the Sexual Excitement stands take the quiz.
