We’re sold, all the time, the idea that we should be on a constant quest for self-fulfillment. And the tips for reinvigorating a long-term relationship are often about play-acting: bringing the romance back, creating these phony environments in which you’re supposed to feel romantic — having a date night, or giving each other a massage. I can see where it might help, but a part of me thinks [laughing], Jesus Christ, it’s all over if it’s gotten to that point.
