Part 5/11:
Emotional Disconnection and the Fade of Intimacy
In the early days of marriage, deep conversations, shared dreams, and emotional exchanges create a strong bond. Yet, as responsibilities mount—be it work stress, child-rearing, or household chores—those intimate moments often diminish. The emotional connection, which thrives on vulnerability and open communication, begins to weaken.
Men often find it more challenging to express their feelings openly. When emotional needs are unmet, they may resort to withdrawal rather than confrontation. This internal silence creates a growing chasm between partners, where interactions become transactional and devoid of the warmth that once characterized their relationship.
