Spending less time together.

"It's all sorted out now," Connie remarked as she sipped her unwooded chardonnay. "We are finally separated."

We become so used to our partner's constant presence that we often forget that we need to be there too, every step of the way. Sometimes we treat our clients better than our partner.

If we're like the majority of people out there, we probably have a hard time seeing our partner for who or she truly is. Our vision has blurred with years of familiarity.

As time goes on, spending time with our partner often become less and less of a priority. We feel as if we've seen it all and done it all. There's no magic, no thrill of the chase, no mystery. While we may not have "lost that loving feeling" our job resumes its role as our number one priority, and spening time with our spouse becomes more of an obligation than a private pleasure.
