    Good evening. Can you please help me? I’m totally disconnected with my wife and now she hates me a lot. I used to fight with her a lot (urgue and shout). Now she had decided to move to the children’s bedroom. Can you please assist me with words that will comfort her, encourage her and show her the importance of 13 years since we have been married.

    Regards, Kenneth

        Good morning. I really hope you can or are able to help me save my relationship. My fiancé and I have been together for 2 years and they have been great. We got really close really fast and everything just fell into place perfectly. We have so much in common in so many ways, our interests, our goals, even our past home life, up bringing and experiences (trauma), both good and bad, are literally almost the same.
        However, a couple of months ago he started communicating less. He used to send texts throughout the day just saying “I love you” or asking how my day was going. Now he barely texts me at all and says he doesn’t have time, which I’ve noticed in his call logs and messages he has time for everyone else but me.
        He also started spending more time away from home, and would blame it on working late or having to help someone with something. Even when he does come home, he always acts like he’s too busy to spend time with me and makes up excuse after excuse like he has a million things to get done. But when all is said and done none of which he stated got done.
        All he does now when around me is stay on his phone, supposedly watching YouTube or checking email, etc. When I try to get his attention, that I wanna talk about somethings that are bothering me, he gets annoyed and will just stand there doing whatever he’s doing and say “Talk, I’m listening” but won’t actually look at me or show any interest in what I’m saying. He gets defensive and angry when I try to express myself and how I feel unwanted, neglected, and a burden to him and he dismisses them or turns them around and blames me saying my thoughts are crazy and I’m wrong. All I’ve ever in 2 years asked of him was time and affection. Literally I’ve never asked for money or material things. But he will use the phrase “this is who I am” or “I will try to make an effort to show you affection.”

        Please help! I don’t know what to do or if it’s even worth trying to save?!?!?

        Thanks for your time!

          Dear Serenity,

          Good on you for leaving your message. As I read it, I imagine your feelings of rejection, neglect, and disconnection, and disappointment. I can only imagine your pain.

          You give a clue to what might be happening between you and your boyfriend when you write, “”experiences with trauma.” Your pattern of pursuing him for what he is unwilling or unable to give and his pattern of withdrawing from you are indicators of unresolved trauma. There is no easy strategy to mend your disconnection with him.

          When psychological patterns are involved, it is difficult to change it on your own or within the relationship. Couples counselling, with an informed and experienced therapist, can help the two of you work on relationship repair. There are several posts on this website that might help you be informed. To find an effective relationship therapist look for one who is trained in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, or has trained with Terry Real or Esther Perel. You can also do a local search using Psychology Today — https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists

          Where there is a will, there is a way. In relationships it take two wills to make the way. So check with him if he is willing to go with you for some couple work. If he is not, I highly recommend you seek some counselling therapy for yourself to find other avenues to feel cherished and loved. ❤️🐞
