I sometimes think about how other people have less happy relationships than mine, and that makes me sad for them

    You can? What kind of marriage is that? 😅

    Edit: the only thing the boomer comments got right about my marriage is the lack of sex, other than that we are super happy and have absolute zero regrets

      I have noticed that my desire for sex in general went way down after my fiancée and I got serious. My understanding is that what messes other couples up is that you kinda need to schedule romance after a while; at least, it seems like that based on how often my grandma took me on hours-long trips to Barnes and Noble as a kid until she got the all-clear text from my mom that it was safe for me to come home.

          Tbh as a kid I only thought it was a bit odd that mom and dad seemed much more cuddly after my B&N trips, but didn’t give it any more thought than that until I was an adult
