long before this pandemic started.
Your partner is emotionally unavailable.
You've had to hide and pretend in order to
keep the peace and maintain your connection.
You're smiling on the outside while inside
you felt like you were dying.
You’re afraid to speak up and tell your truth
for fear of judgment, criticism, shame, or even retaliation.
You’ve been neglected, overlooked,
or taken for granted in your partnership.
Feeling invisible, rejected, or abandoned altogether.
Continually being mistreated, disrespected,
dishonored, and devalued.
Your wants, wishes, and desires weren’t important,
if they were considered at all.
You were busy taking care of everyone else’s needs, but who was taking care of yours? Not even you, most of the time.
You wanted real intimacy and a deep connection, but always ended up feeling empty and lonely inside, even when your partner was sleeping or sitting right next to you.
You wonder if you even deserve to be loved
in the way that you dream about.
Your fairy tale turned into a “Bad Romance” and instead of open and honest conversations, you fought,
got the cold shoulder treatment, or isolated more.
Status Quo isn’t acceptable anymore. You want, crave, and Need more from an Intimate Partnership.
You’re tired of doing all of the “relational” work,
putting in your time, energy, and effort,
and getting hardly anything in return.
