You’re sitting alone in your car again before going inside.
You just need a few minutes to yourself before you go back to the frustration. Everyone is unhappy. Everyone is on their devices and no one talks anymore. Your partner is depressed and distant and you don’t know how to reach them. You’ve tried talking about it, but that seems to backfire. You’ve tried not talking about it, but that just makes you feel more alone.
You make dinner and try to find something to talk about that doesn’t cause an argument. Afterwards, you find yourself alone in the kitchen doing the dishes again. By the time you’re done there’s been another fight about something you didn’t hear and everyone has retreated to their rooms in anger. Your partner is upset you didn’t support them, but you don’t even know what the fight was about. You try to talk to the kids, but they’re pissed at you for ‘not getting it’ and suddenly you find yourself on the other side of a slammed door. Why does everything have to escalate so quickly?
Even your dog is anxious.
You’re exhausted but dread going to bed.
You’re so deeply sad and don’t have the capacity to listen to your partner complain about work or the kids - or worse yet, try to have sex. You haven’t felt sexy for ages. You don’t remember what it was like to feel attractive or have a libido. You don’t remember what it felt like to not be expected to clean up everyone’s messes and then go to work and clean up the messes there.
At least at work you get paid.
You feel so alone and lonely.
You long for the connection you used to have. You’ve tried to ask about the changes between you, but you’re told you expect too much. They say you don’t understand them or appreciate what they do, and that you’re incapable of being happy. You’re starting to wonder if that is actually true. All you know is you can’t continue to do all this any more. Not this way
You don’t know if this is fixable.
You’ve read the books. You’ve listened to all the podcasts, but nothing is changing.
You don’t want to end it because you actually do love your partner and don’t want to hurt the kids, but is staying like this any better? You don’t know if anyone can really help you, but you’ve got to at least try, and you know it’s up to you to find a therapist.
You don’t have to live like this. If you’re ready to find renewed connection with the person you love, click here to schedule your free 15- minute phone consultation for Relationship counseling in Burbank. Let’s get you out of that car and in to your passionate, connected relationship again.
