I can't with the good mornings and the good nights either. I consider that part of small talk and I just can't stand empty chatter for the sake of it. I'd much rather be sent a funny meme that reminded them of me tbh.
In my previous long term, I noticed that I could go about two days without needing to check in with them, and when he does come over, we don't really chatter much about our day to day either; just enjoy existing in the same space together, doing separate things.
I used to compare with other couples and wonder if we actually enjoy each other's company.
Your current situation sounds extremely promising though! I do think that comparison is a thief of joy. You don't need to always have fun activities and constantly engage each other to be "loving" me thinks. If you're happy, you're happy. Don't let other people (including yourself) think otherwise!
but you DID have one drink!
