@scott.austin.martin: A woman can spend years trying to explain the same pain to a man who genuinely loves her. Not because he does not care. Because love and capacity are not the same thing. Relationships do not rise to the level of your intentions. They fall to the level of your capacity under pressure. That is why communication tools fail. That is why promises to do better do not last. The issue is almost never a lack of love. It is a lack of capacity. And capacity can be built. My books SAFE and Capacity are linked in bio. #nervoussystem #relationships #relationshiptips #menscoach #emotionalsafety
Yep! My ex husband. He loved me I’m sure, but never developed the capacity to hear what I really needed to feel supported and seen.

he blocked my number and went no contact so it's easier for me to just believe he never loved me.

No I couldn’t and that’s why I’m going to therapy now. I didn’t have the capacity and I need to put that work on myself

I’m married to a golden retriever type guy. But he isn’t emotionally available . It’s hard. 23 years . From the outside perspective, everyone says I’m so lucky.

I withdraw and he gets defensive and we are in one of the most stressful moments of our 15 years. He quit his job of 20 years and we opened a business together while I'm still working full time to take care of the finances while getting our business going. Plus trying to sell and buy another property in this God awful market. We seem we can't even talk to each other anymore and we used to work so well together.

this is my relationship. it has changed a lot and we actively work on it. however the feeling of beeing disconnected is really hard. he has the pattern of distancing himself and withholding love. my pattern is that I want his reassurance because i couldnt fully process my feelings in the past. and even if we know about it sometimes we still get trapped in that cycle.

okay, so we are both like this. for years I just did whatever he asked of me. now I'm arguing back and questioning because I felt like I was unloved. and I disconnected. we are in therapy trying to come back, but we both get defensive.

My 2 year relationship ended after I brought up one difficult conversation. Done. I was blindsided. Not even my divorce has been this difficult.

These things happen, as you state, if the couple allows it to happen. Everything can be overcome if both parties have the will, grit, determination & commitment needed to accomplish the difficult things. Unfortunately, not everyone can actually commit 100%, no matter what they said during their vows.
