Dear Fonseca,
My husband and I had a heated argument over the weekend about being too comfortable with one another. The argument started after my husband went to the bathroom with the door open. He says once a couple is comfortable they have total trust in one another. I think that's a total cop out and a bunch of BS. I think once a couple gets comfortable they stop giving maximum effort and things go downhill from there. I think they stop surprising one another with romantic gestures and small things that mean a lot. I think being comfortable leads to couples taking each other for granted. What's your opinion on this? Agree with me or him?
