6 Signs You’re Stuck in the “Roommate Phase” of Your Relationship

1. You’re Living Separate Lives
You share the same address, maybe even the same bed—but emotionally, it feels like you’re miles apart.

Your daily routines barely cross paths. One of you leaves early, the other stays up late. You check in briefly about errands or bills, then go your separate ways. What used to feel like a shared life now feels like two independent ones happening under one roof.

2. Closeness Feels Out of Reach
This isn’t just about physical affection. It’s about the small gestures—warm hugs, playful touches, loving glances. When was the last time you showed affection just because you wanted to, not because it was routine?

Emotional closeness fades too. Those deep late-night talks that once bonded you have turned into quick updates about groceries or appointments. You used to talk about hopes and plans—now it’s mostly checklists.

3. Most Conversations Are About “Logistics”
“Did you pay the electric bill?”
“Who’s picking up the kids?”
“What’s for dinner?”
