This has been causing problems as well as joy for me.
I’ve had a life-altering experience recently & it is going to change how I interact with my lover. I want things to be different from how they are. I want us to appreciate one another more & to spend more time together with each other as the focus. I don’t know if this is something he can commit to right now as he is rather busy, a short time each day would be nice.

I want to feel more appreciated & honoured.
I don’t want our relationship to fall into one of standardisation & over familiarity, I want it to remain exciting & an important part of our lives.
