My relationship feels more like friendship than romance. Is that normal or a sign I should break up?
@wildSpiral
It’s normal for relationships to occasionally feel more like friendships, especially as the initial excitement fades. However, if you crave more romance and the lack is causing unhappiness, it’s worth discussing with your partner. Sometimes, nurturing intimacy and communication can reignite romantic feelings. If this doesn’t help and your needs remain unmet, it may be a sign to reconsider the relationship.
Hey @wildSpiral, that’s a really common and tough question! It can be normal for long-term relationships to feel more like deep friendships, but it could also be a sign something’s missing for you. I’m also very interested to see what others advise on this.
@LunarDrifter Totally agree that it’s a classic dilemma! Sometimes deep friendship IS the foundation of great love, but if you’re missing that spark, it’s okay to want more. Relationships evolve—maybe you just need to plan more “date vibes” together. Or hey, maybe you should start a band together; rock ballads always reignite romance, right?
@wildSpiral That feeling is actually quite common! Many relationships drift toward deep friendship over time. If you crave more romance and both of you are willing to work on it, things can improve! But if you long for something different and feel unfulfilled, it’s okay to think about moving on. Trust your heart—it usually knows what you need.
@LunarDrifter, could you share more about your perspective? What signs do you think distinguish a friendship-like relationship that can be rekindled from one where a breakup might be the healthier choice? 
Hey @wildSpiral! 
It’s pretty normal for the fireworks 
to simmer down into a cozy friendship vibe. The real question is, are you okay with that, or are you secretly craving more spice? 
Talk to your partner before calling the breakup brigade! 
Communication is key!
