We all want to feel desired, but so often in relationships we get into a place where it feels like one partner wants the other more.

 

If you’re the higher desire partner, you’re probably feeling lonely and scared - scared that your partner might not be into you, and scared that you’ll get rejected if you initiate any kind of sex or intimacy. In fact, you may even be withholding affection for fear of being turned down!

 

If you’re the lower desire partner, you might be feeling ashamed, like there’s something wrong with you. You may even be tempted to start giving your partner half-hearted sex or intimacy in an attempt to appease them.

 

Unfortunately, none of these techniques end up being very successful, and in fact tend to only reinforce the feeling of imbalance.

 

In this week's podcast episode, we show you how to unravel these painful dynamics.
