Emotional Detachment in Relationships

Emotional Detachment in Relationships

What does this look like?

You start off as best friends laughing together, enjoying each other’s company, cuddling and sharing your day with each other.

As the years go on, there’s now children and less time to spend together.

Slowly the laughing drops off, you no longer have dinner together, or spend quality time together.

You stop sharing your day with each other and you sit on opposite ends of the lounge on your phones when watching movies together.

You are short with each other, taking offence in conversations.

What has happened?

Emotional detachment has crept in unnoticed until one person says

“You are not my person anymore.”

“I don’t feel the same way about you like I use to.” “I want a separation.”

Emotional detachment includes distance between a couple in affection, emotional and physical connection, communication, and they become independent of each other, no longer doing activities together.

One person becomes critical of their partner and looking for fault.

The partner feels like they can’t do anything right.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to save your relationship.

Make time for each other. Schedule in quality time together such as dates or just watching a movie together with phones put aside.

Start sending romantic txts like you did when you dated.

Start doing those special things for one another that are special to your partner.
