Sexologist warns "roommate syndrome" is the top intimacy killer in long-term couples

Clinical sexologist Dr Robert Kowalczyk describes "roommate syndrome" — a state in which long-term partners share a home and finances but lose romantic chemistry and intimacy. He identifies the phenomenon as widespread among established couples and points to routine and the erosion of mutual desire as the chief causes. Kowalczyk advises couples to recognise the pattern early to reverse it.
