This age of cellphones is killing marriages

Why do I feel more alone after watching this? If giving him space means I should lack the love I deserve from my husband than why even be together? Instead of growing into each other, were growing apart. The hardest part of this process is it's happening and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Rejection by one spouse is thee most terrifying thing in a marriage. If they need space, give them a reasonable time to have it...but at some point you have to address it. Beyond that, further rejection means its time to move on

1. Respect your differences
2. Don't take it personally
3. Call of the pursuit
4. Lower your intensity
5. Give them space
6. Make a date not a diagnosis
7. Pursue your goals not your partner's
8. Act kindly
9. Love unconditionally

I appreciate this advice. You can't pressure a person like this into loving you. It turns them off more. A codependent mind will have you feeling exhausted and depressed. I have to take time for myself and disengage with my spouse. Keep your sanity and just let things happen the way they are going to happen.

[icieberry]

yeah, right. The more I give him love, the more arrogant he got.

[jessicavincent]

If he is in love, why does he need so much space from you.? And u give and give, respect and be patient while he doesn't care and takes advantage of it?

[ericworley]

This sounds more like how to simply continue to exist in the same house with someone who probably doesn’t even like you. If you are with someone who genuinely loves you and enjoys being your partner overall, if they seem withdrawn and down choosing to not reach out and instead letting them “have space” and work through it on their own will likely leave them feeling unimportant and unseen. However, if your partner is irritated by your presence, doesn’t enjoy your company, and doesn’t want your love and reassurance then this all sounds like a great plan to make sure your existence bothers them as little as possible and that your relationship doesn’t further impose on them.

I feel like Im living with a room mate. My husband completely takes me for granted. He's stopped cuddling me or showing me affection. I want to cuddle with him but he says it feels like "work" to him! Im trying to respect our "differences" but it's so hard when I emotionally need physical touch but he could completely ignore me all day and feel fine with it.

you saved my marriage of 12 years. I was at a 60% success rating from your quiz. but after getting your program and constantly listening to the audio tape, after 5 months of improving my life and following the basics my wife now shows interest in me again and we are having a better relationship and better communication.

fucc woman or man is worth all the trouble. ....

This video is 6 years old, this is my first time seeing it and it speaks to my current situation. It’s been tough and hard to not feel like roommates sometimes because of how much we bicker and argue. Then the silence, and small talk to break the ice. He’s very much a tough love approach kind of guy while I’m soft spoken or don’t speak at all.

If I wanted distance what we get married for ? There is someone somewhere looking to spend time and share happiness

[mr.grumpygrumpy]

"Do you wanna do something fun TOGETHER?" "Nah, I'd rather be ALONE and do something fun FOR ME." This over years and years is sheer masochism.

My husband is emotionally distant and cold (possibly because he was a victim of child abuse) It was hard for me and I am almost at the edge. He is a narcissist and he cant love truly. Im so tired of putting more effort and I realized that man should lead the relationship and all leaders have heavier responsibility. If the CEO fails, the company fails. If the head of the family fails, the marriage fails. When a guy loves the woman more than she loves him, it was more likely to last because women are most likely to stay loyal and respond with love. What if the woman loves the guy more than he loves her? Well, it was more likely to be an abusive marriage. So teach your child to love truly and choose a man wisely/ Dont be naive, marriage is the biggest decision you will ever have.

This is great! I also want to add...keep trying to connect with them, just be with them even if it's in silence. Sometimes people just feel hurt or disconnected and all they really want is to connect with you.

[smoothreid]

What about your loneliness in the marriage??? If you give them space, how can you still be intimate with your spouse if you’re not communicating? This is usually when the ignored spouse looks elsewhere for the affection that their spouse in not reciprocated

[maryann]

it sounds like a lot of work being married, , might not be worth the effort. Try living in the mountains instead lol

[kathymyers]

God almighty I’ve been doing this for YEARS. I’m feeling exausted

[cherokee]

It's not working Brad. We can't clap with a single hand. There is no reciprocity. She is so stubborn with her attitude.
