You’re still in the same bed — but the distance is unbearable.

In this episode of Soul Path Alchemy, we dig into the truth behind sexless marriages and disconnected relationships. Not just the lack of sex - but what the silence is really saying.

We explore:

• Why people stop reaching for each other

• How avoidance becomes a coping mechanism

• The role of resentment, duty, and unspoken grief

• And what’s required if you want to bring the erotic back - or walk away with clarity

  This isn’t just about the lack of sex — it’s about what the silence is really saying. We explore avoidant attachment, emotional shut-down, the role of chronic resentment, obligation, and the loss of intimacy in long-term partnerships.

  Whether you're navigating dead bedrooms, low desire mismatches, or the slow erosion of closeness, this episode brings you back to what matters: truth. What’s required to reignite the erotic connection, or to walk away with clarity and self-respect?

This isn’t about blame. It’s about truth. Because sex doesn’t just die - it disappears when honesty does.
