“Everything has been rosy for two and a half years. But after that you become roommates,” Alba explained in the video.

“They’re just going through the motions,” she added. “You have the responsibility. It’s all about ticking the boxes, so to speak, right?”

“We obviously have the friendship, the comfort of ‘You’re not going anywhere,’ and so sometimes you don’t treat these people very well, right?” Alba said.

“You don’t consider their feelings the way you would consider other people’s feelings,” she continued. “So that’s something that I think needs to be continually worked on.”

She shared that the duo tried to resolve their issues by “addressing issues” and “being able to communicate when they are unhappy.”
