Kevin had been living in Reddit threads for months. "I became obsessed with r/DeadBedrooms. Every night after Amy fell asleep, I'd scroll for hours looking for someone—anyone—who had the same problem and actually fixed it," Kevin said.
"I've read probably 300 posts. Maybe more. I know the lingo. 'HL' and 'LL.' 'The Talk.' 'Choreplay doesn't work.' I've tried everything those threads suggested. I gotta say, when I finally admitted to myself at 2:47 AM that I was losing hope, little did I know what I was in store for.
There are so many solutions people suggest but nothing actually worked. 'Communicate more.' Every time we tried, it turned into blame or tears or awkward silence for days. 'Schedule intimacy.' That made it feel even more forced and clinical. 'Go to therapy.' She doesn't think we have a problem. I'm dying inside and she thinks we're fine." Kevin went on to say, "After the first night playing Connecting™, I was genuinely shocked. I knew it had questions and dares and so on... BUT, I never imagined we'd go from months of nothing to actually touching each other again. It didn't feel like 'working on our relationship.' It felt like fun. Like US again.
I've been playing with Amy for 6 weeks now and I finally deleted that Reddit app. I don't need it anymore. For the first time in over a year, I feel wanted. She reaches for me. I reach for her. That cold distance is gone. I can't believe the answer wasn't in those 300 posts—it was in a deck of cards that actually changed the vibe instead of just giving more advice."
And that's just Kevin's experience. There are over 100,000 satisfied couples just like Kevin and Amy.
