Rediscover connection.
Does any of this sound familiar?
-
It sounds cliche, but the spark is gone. You love your partner, but you're not sure if you're "in love" with your partner anymore. You find yourself listening to U2's "With Or Without You" on repeat. Should you go your seperate ways? Open the relationship? Tough it out and hope it gets better? No answer seems like a good answer. But you're afraid of waking up one day and feeling like you've cheated each other out of a fulfilling life.

There's been a betrayal. Sexual infidelity. An emotional affair. Financial cheating. Little white lies that have accumulated over the years. You're not sure if y'all can rebuild trust after all that's happened. You love your partner and you don't want to lose what you've built, but the anger and hurt is unrelenting. It's hard to imagine a future that isn't haunted by these past mistakes. You're willing to work on the realtionship, but your hope is starting to wane.

Y'all have experienced a major transition. Gender-affirming surgery. The birth of a child. Along with the celebration and relief, there is some grief wrapped up in it all. Things will never be the same. The adjustment to the "new normal" is taking longer than anticipated. It's more painful than you realize. And it seems impossible to talk to your partner without getting triggered. You're starting to avoid conversations that feel like a minefield. But you know that's not a lasting solution.

You're having a hard time finding common ground. You're kinky. They're vanillia. You're always horny. They always seem to have a headache. You want to work on your emotional connection first. They jump straight to sex. It's hard to compromise without feeling resentful. You're starting to wonder if you're just sexually incompatible. It sucks, because you seem to connect otherwise. You don't want to give up hope, but you're also not sure if the relationship can be saved. The constant bickering is taking a toll.
