Years into a long-term relationship , that initial passion turns into comfort. It’s a quieter feeling than the earlier days of lust and excitement, which, although are often still there, tend to be overshadowed by an overwhelming feeling of contentment. In fact, according to Dipti Tait , a relationship and couples communication therapist, couples who are content are more likely to have their relationship in their top three priorities. ‘Contentment within a relationship is noticing when things change, and understanding each other enough to have difficult conversations that are honest and open, with our worry or fear of being judged or disrespected,’ Dipti tells Metro.co.uk. ‘Mutual respect occurs when we are aware of each other’s moods and patterns of behaviour and know how to respond appropriately. ‘True contentment is knowing what to say and when to say it; there is an understanding of each other’s needs and love languages as well as a happiness to be silent … [Read more...] about Are you content or complacent in your relationship?

Kevin Magnussen has said he will have to watch back his opening-lap collision with Lewis Hamilton at the Spanish Grand Prix , moving to clarify a comment made in the “heat of the moment” soon after the incident. Magnussen’s Haas took contact from the seven-time world champion’s Mercedes as the Danish driver looked to pass Hamilton at Turn Four in Barcelona having made a strong start.

Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue was abruptly cut short Wednesday by a local TV station in Texas after he had called out "cowardly" senators for "listening to the NRA ." Kimmel called out the ABC affiliate station in Dallas, WFAA, on Twitter and vowed to understand why it happened. A representative from the station replied to Kimmel on Twitter and explained that it was a mistake. Kimmel addressed Tuesday's school shooting in Uvalde, Texas which left 19 children and two adults dead. The suspect, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos was shot and killed by law enforcement. The incident has once again sparked the gun control debate as Ramos reportedly bought the firearm on his 18th birthday after a Texas gun law change. Politicians have once again been pressed on the subject, and Kimmel intended to pile the pressure on them too.
