Unhappy relationships at many levels
At least ‘angry lovers’ still are expressing some feeling toward one another. Roommates demonstrate emotional distance and are void of any feelings.
Relationships shouldn’t be this much work!
I’m so tired of trying!
You two are having the same argument over and over… Fighting to be right or worse even not talking at all. The emotional distance is scarier than arguing.
The Friendship seems all but lost. Where did my person go? Feeling such a loss while still in a relationship is SAD.
Relationships take effort.
Think back to when you were first dating… you took effort in planning dates and spent time in front of the mirror hoping to look your best.
You were okay with listening to a partner talk about both struggles and accomplishments. You were allowed into their inner world and so the commitment began. Eventually, you became that person above all others to both celebrate with and find comfort like from no one else.
Hmm… that took effort, time, and work to develop that friendship/intimacy – and usually felt exciting and fulfilling.
And over time the cracks began showing up…
Sometimes those efforts to listen and be heard start to slow down; family responsibilities and emotional injuries start to surface. Focusing on conflict may be the norm.
Without addressing the conflict… toxins start to seep into the foundations and cracks appear!!!
The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy can help you.
The Gottman Method is based on 40 years of research. You will learn to develop a deeper meaning and understanding of your partner’s world.
Next comes the effort to restore the friendship; let fondness and admiration begin to seal up those cracks.
With a sound foundation again, Couples can then begin to manage conflict effectively.
