Danger? No.: If there are no problems to your life - you are not in danger. If there are household members who are not happy, then you're only in danger to the extent that they're dangerous folk when angered. If this is a new rhythm in your life, you might be curious about the change, but perhaps you always would have liked this pattern. Who is concerned? Can you reassure them? Can they convince you? Best!
