It suddenly hit me today that we have never said goodnight when lights out for a year or more. Is this a big deal?
It was only when a friend asked this today that it hit home it does not happen. We share a bed and a cuddle some nights and some chat last thing at night, but books get put down and lights go out and no consideration to wish 'sweet dreams' etc.
Just wondered if this is odd?
Seems the norm to me and not a big deal.
Granted our relationship of 20 years is just plodding along. Not miserable but not hugely happy either. Just ok.
Should I say 'goodnight' at lights out in an hour?
Will it seem fake and forced?
And does it even matter!?
