[quote=Anonymous]Yes it’s normal. Relationships change over time, people grow apart or closer based on where they are in their lives. 1.Since you are visiting weekly, you don’t have time to miss him or be nostalgic. 2. The weekly visits themselves are an obligation and a burden. I remember when the kids were little, the obligation of weekly sports games. I was so ecstatic if a game was rained out and we didn’t have that weekly obligation. We didn’t hate soccer, baseball etc. it was just the weekly requirement was a drag for parents. 3. As people age, for many, their world gets smaller. They can’t relate to the world you are living in. Visiting can feel like watching grass grow. It is boring. [/quote]
