Finally it hit Kumar that their lack of sex "not normal" for newlyweds who were in love and attracted to each other. She said she immediately decided to change her habits and began leaving her phone on airplane mode in the kitchen overnight to stop herself from checking it every time she heard the "ding" of a new message.
