Intimacy has been studied over time in relationships. Is there more or less of it? These studies look at various intimacy measures like touch and physical proximity, among other issues. Unsurprisingly, these studies find that the experience of intimacy decreases over time.

This means that the longer you are in a relationship, the less intimacy you are likely to experience as a couple. Over a long period of time, you can end up feeling more like roommates.
