Are you constantly hurt by a spouse who struggles to prioritize you? Do they avoid setting boundaries with their parents—even when it damages your marriage?
If your partner was raised in a toxic or emotionally immature home, their nervous system may have been wired for survival—not connection. That early programming can lead to deep-rooted abandonment wounds, emotional shutdown, and a fear of conflict that puts your relationship at risk.
In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough, Breakthrough Life Coach and creator of The Conscious Healing Academy, Lisa A. Romano, unpacks the hidden trauma behind emotionally unavailable partners and explores why some spouses can’t put their significant other first—despite their best intentions.
You’ll learn:
Why your spouse might feel safer pleasing their parents than protecting your marriage
How unhealed childhood trauma impacts adult intimacy and emotional prioritization
The subconscious fears that drive people to abandon their partner to avoid being rejected themselves
What you can do to begin shifting this painful dynamic in a healthy way
