@thepottymouthguru: Replying to @e_l_w_ When your partner says they want more intimacy, but you’re already carrying the parenting, emotional labour, and fallout from unresolved hurt, there’s something important they’re missing. Emotional and physical intimacy require capacity, not just willingness. Chronic stress, resentment, and feeling unsupported can make closeness increasingly difficult. That’s not necessarily punishment or withholding affection. Sometimes you’re simply too depleted to connect. You can’t keep asking your partner for more while ignoring everything that’s draining them. If you want more intimacy, you have to help create the conditions where intimacy can actually thrive. ❤️🤟🏻🌿

Have you ever been so emotionally exhausted from carrying everything that even affection started feeling like another demand? ❤️🤟🏻🌿 Let’s talk about that.

Well said. I have to hold so much space for my children (coregulation is so necessary when you have neurodivergent children!) that there isn’t space left for much more. My partner is literally incapable of coregulating with the children because he’s not done the work on himself to make that situation possible. And when he threw the “you don’t take care of” line in my face during an argument I felt very much like my boundary was being held against it. And yes, I would like out of this dynamic but it’s not always easy for a person to just up and leave.
