      Why talk when you both are already looking at your phones?

        I really try to make my relationship such that I would never have to directly interact with my partner, but there’s still some work to be done 😔

        I mean, why waste the limited time I have a day with my SO by scrolling together through an endless list of movies and shows. Both of us have the attention span of a beagle, so sporadically swiping through a list during the workday would actually be preferable.

        For me it wouldn’t be about avoiding conflict, just a way to remember something that I would otherwise forget as soon as we started looking for something to watch.

      See, my wife and I will go back and forth, checking various streaming services and vetoing each other’s picks for the full duration of movie night.

      Now when she asks what I want to watch, my first reply is always, “Literally anything except the Netflix menu.”

        We discuss the options and often end up talking about something else. So even scrolling through options is nice together time. Unless the actual goal was to see a movie, then that method isn’t that great lol

        And this why I’ve come to enjoy going to movies alone. Except for the being married part.

      Also this app literally exists anyway, I’m pretty sure it even existed when this was posted.

        …earlier today? Yeah, I’m not really surprised to learn it wasn’t developed and published in less than a work day.

            No idea why you’d be downvoted for that but thanks!

            Edit… Either I’m finding the wrong apps or neither of those ones do the thing.

      I think there a talk app you can use to talk with your partner.

        Do they have gamified aspects and perhaps a lootbox style system? “You had a 7 day streak in talking to your significant other. Here’s two relationship tokens”

          If you say the right things, you get to loot your partners box.

      We do that but it takes FOREVER and we have limited time because we have kids and we’re so tired. I’d love to have this app to use during the week in breaks from work for a movie after work.
