“At different times, there were different things that we needed. Around the time I had the kids, it was like, ‘I need [date night] once a week.’ And he’s been like, ‘I need you to be present on the weekends and not work,’ " she said, explaining they’d often “over-communicate what’s happening before it gets to the point of no return.”

“I don’t think we have a secret at all,” Alba added. “We just have to check each other.”

“I think that he probably gets the short end of the stick. And it’s not even him, I would say it’s us,” she said at the time. “When I’m seeing him and spending time with him and we’re really enjoying each other, it’s an ‘us’ thing and it feeds me as well. It’s hard. It’s impossible.”

“It’s all rosy for two and a half years. But then after that you become roommates,” theSin Cityactress added, laughing. “You’re just going through the motions. You have the responsibilities; it’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes, right?”

She said they used to “at least” do weeklydate nights, “but then that stops because of whatever.”

As Alba explained, “We’re just not consistent. But being able to communicate when you’re unhappy and nipping it right away instead of letting it sort of fester, and then you have animosity and then it explodes — which we’ve gone through that one!”

“We have, obviously, the friendship, the comfort of ‘You’re not going anywhere,’ so sometimes you don’t treat those people the best. You don’t consider their feelings in the way that you would consider other people’s feelings,” she said. “That is something I think is a constant one to work on.”

“I’m proud of us for making it this far. There is no real set of rules or guidance that can ever prepare you for what it means to commit to another person and choose to be family,” she wrote.

Continued Alba, “Through thick and thin we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another.”
