“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ~Maria Robinson It can be tempting to think you need a new partner to , and for some that might be true.
But many of us don’t need new relationships; we just need to start doing things differently in the ones we have. Perhaps your relationship isn’t feeling as fulfilling as it once did.
Maybe you’re losing hope but also resisting the effort required to make it better. I’ve been there. Several years ago, many years into my long-term relationship, I began feeling worried.
My husband and I were growing distant. It was easy to blame the usual suspects: Him not doing enough around the house Our different personalities Stress from work, raising kids, and managing finances The “usual culprits”—hormones, boredom, different libidos and desires As our disconnection deepened, I noticed that I was letting it turn into hurt.
