(((bebop)))

It usually takes two to re-kindle emotional intimacy. It can feel awkward and forced at times, on "off" days. Sometimes, it can feel like that all of the time!

Those are times that I believe we need some team assistance. Where we go in to see a T, together, and get back onto the same page. If the other person in the relationship is seriously unwilling to try professional help, try going by yourself to get a better handle on things happening in your world. Hopefully, your partner will notice the improvements with you and will want to be part of that.

If not, that's when you have to start coming to terms with a relationship needs both people to be present emotionally. One person can't do it all alone. That's when the relationship has become a serious job, with one person doing all of the work and reaping no benefits. I hope that this isn't where you find yourself, bebop. It is a sad and bumpy road ~ but there is a road.

Gentle hugs to you...
