Feel like my relationship with my SO is deteriorating. We rarely talk about anything in-person anymore, and when we text, its all about just family and scheduling stuff... not sure why we stay married

Dinner date one night a week. Can't be at home.

Many places have half price happy hours and appetizers Mon-Thurs

Sorry, OP. Does it help to think of this as a new phase in your life? You ebb and flow over time. With kids, the logistics increase so the connection is more mechanical. I Just celebrated 25 years with grocery store roses. But we are lookimg forward to growing old(er) together.

I wish I had the secret sauce to share with you. Best I can say is communication is important. Nowadays, communication is easier than it's ever been. Use it to send simple messages through the the day.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.
