You stay in the roommate phase when both aren’t making the effort to get to know the new people you are becoming as parents and as the new person you are becoming in general. You change when you have a baby, in every way.
I'm moving out next month, that phase isn't even worth going through. Once you seem like a different person to me, no changed behavior or sorry will make me unsee who he truly is. Closed chapter.... not a phase
@Lauren I thought about " just dealing with it" but I wanna enjoy my one life with a piece of mind and happiness.
It can go away. My kids 10 months. Almost 11. My partner and I are only just starting to work through it. It takes effort on both sides, which I really didn't have the energy to put in any for a long time.
@Jaelynn working though it will probably never happen but I'm getting to the point where that is ok for me.
Well I been in it for I’d say 7 years almost so no idea if it goes away. Maybe when the kids are grown and move out? Maybe never. Everyone says “spice things up”, just have sex for the sake of having sex. Like no. 😅 I do think it takes effort on both sides. Are you content with the way things are?
