How To Get Out of a Relationship Rut (or Just Know It's Over)

“Are we in a rut, or is the relationship over?” is a question so many of us have asked, and we’re breaking it down on this episode. We discuss the signs of a relationship rut, when and why they typically occur, and the questions to ask yourself to determine whether a relationship is worth saving. We discuss how to get out of the rut, from small changes to larger pivots, plus low, medium, and high effort ways to bring novelty into your relationship. We also talk about intimacy vs. sex, why not wanting to have sex isn’t always a red flag, unexpected things that can keep your relationship spicy, and a high-level sex challenge to consider. Before we get into the topic, we have a lot to catch up on – how Rayna is feeling about living in NYC and Ashley’s latest thoughts on moving, Ashley’s ongoing butt issues and a mortifying moment at the doctor, and if Rayna is regretting her short hair.
