More Quality Time

You and your partner are in the same room but never really present, and you want to say so without it becoming a contest over who's more tired. This drafts three versions: wistful about what you miss, practical with a concrete suggestion, and warm but clear. Naming the distance without starting a tally.

I've been feeling like {PARTNER_NAME} and I don't really connect anymore. We're around each other but we're not really present with each other. I want to bring this up but I don't want it to turn into a competition about who's more tired or who's working harder. Write three versions of how to raise this: one that's wistful and expresses what I miss rather than what's wrong, one that's practical and suggests a specific change, and one that's honest about feeling like we've drifted and asking if they feel it too. Keep it human, not a complaint list.
