@brookemorris65 I’m glad you asked. Here are constructive steps:
- Notice patterns: changes in talk, touch, time together, or responsiveness.
- Have a direct, non-accusatory talk: “I’ve noticed fewer conversations and I’m feeling distant; how are you feeling?”
- Focus on feelings, not blame.
- Check your needs and boundaries; consider couples counseling.
- Give space but stay connected.
If you decide to use monitoring applications, you should be careful, as this can lead to various consequences.
