Question about spouse heart decay

[Bee Larry King]

New to the game. From what I gather of friendship on the wiki, I think I understand how the heart system works, however I can't find an answer to something specific I'm confused about.

If I max hearts with my spouse to 14, I know that the daily decay rate is higher since we're married, however the wiki says there is no end to the decay unlike pre-marriage. So if I'm not mistaken, theoretically you could go down to 0 hearts with your spouse if you never interact with them?

If you dont interact with your spouse for that long, then you likely shouldnt have gotten married in the first place.

Never tried but yes. It would still take years though since each heart is worth 250 friendship points and the decay is 20 points per day you don't interact.

Propably. Though they start of the day in the house or in front of it - so interacting with them once per day is not a problem.

not to mentation you spouse can receive a gift daily from you, not only twice a week. and many love or at least like some kind of gem, so one crystalarium ends all worrys.

Thanks for replies. I'd like to point out I don't plan to ignore my spouse, it just seemed weird to me that everyone else can stay locked at 10 hearts except the spouse could go down to nothing.

You have to work at a marriage :)

If people know you in a general sense, its not hard for their expectatins to stay at a certain level. But a relationship changes once they get close to you. The joy of being close to someone also comes hand in hand with the ability to be hurt by them more easily. Thats why Id suppose it is in there. It feels realistic.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about that, every time you talk to a person you gain 20 affection and the natural decay is -2 per day or something so you'd have to purposefully ignore your spouse, or anyone for that matter, for a very, very, very, -VERY- long time for it to degenerate to the point that it's a problem lol.

I am one of those people actually.
Got so inspired I started up my own rabbit farm.
Just waiting now for them to drop their feet so that I can rake in the cash......

Any day now those feet will jump right off of their little bunny legs..... any day now...

Can confirm my wife has gotten to zero hearts in pursuit of pure profits.
