When we see a sudden change in our partner’s behavior it is likely to bring a sense of worry. Has he gone from very attentive to barely present? He tells you he wants space. You are left wondering- What does this mean? This may be an indication that there is something going on in his world.
Although it will take time for the hurt to subside, there are things you can do to cope and reorient yourself to this new, unwanted change in your life. First, tap into or develop a robust support network. This can be anyone who encourages you, allows you to process in your own time and at your own pace, and reminds you what an amazing person you are. I’d recommend having both professional and personal support.
One of the biggest attractions to women in a relationship is emotional intimacy.
This is something that some women crave, and when they do have it, it motivates them to want to pursue a relationship even more than if they were just physically attracted to one another.
The downside of this is that emotional intimacy can happen in other relational dynamics in our lives.
