One minute/hour/day/week, there is warmth and connection… things seem to be improving. And in the next minute/hour/day/week, the cold returns. Distance and dread return. Are things going south? Is this the time when things don’t turn around?
And then… the pattern repeats again.
It can through you off your efforts, discourage you, even tempting you to give up.
So, what is that all about, anyway?
“M” is in this very situation. She wants to understand it, so she knows how to respond (not react, but respond). It may be YOUR question, too. Especially if your spouse did what M’s spouse did: Gave the “ILYBNILWY” speech (“I Love You But Not In Love With You”)
I explain what is going on here, and what to do about it. Listen below.
