In this episode, we talk about what it is like when your partner all of a sudden seems less interested, distant, and withdrawn and you might be left questioning: is my partner less interested in me or are they dealing with their own issues? My response is: does it matter? You get the same level of contact from them - less affection, care, and communication in the relationship

Uncertainty you feel leads to overanalyzing and walking on eggshells. The focus should shift to what is needed in the relationship. Three areas are suggested for consideration: 1) Can open dialogue and understanding be achieved with the partner? 2) Identifying personal needs and values in a relationship. 3) Prioritizing self-care and addressing emotional baggage. It is important to communicate openly, assess personal needs, and prioritize self-care for a healthy relationship.
