I was sitting at my favorite spot the other day, that coffee shop on the corner of Melrose Avenue, watching couples and thinking about how our relationships have evolved.

It’s funny how we now have more tools to connect than ever, but somehow we’ve never been more emotionally disconnected.

While sipping my coffee, I recalled a recent conversation with friends about what really kills a relationship. It’s not the big fights or betrayals — it’s those small daily things, that subtle indifference that grows like weeds in an abandoned garden.

How did we get to a point where we treat an Uber driver better than the person we chose to share our life with?

There’s something deeply ironic about that, don’t you think?

And even more interesting — have you noticed how we get more excited talking about the latest Netflix show than about our partner’s dreams and fears?

I’ve observed something fascinating at dinner parties. When someone mentions relationship problems, advice about couple’s therapy or meditation apps quickly follows.

But what if the problem isn’t that complex?
