The Silence Between You Is Not the Problem There is a moment in almost every relationship where the silence gets uncomfortable. You are sitting across from your partner, the phones are down (or maybe they are not), and neither of you is saying anything. Most people panic. They reach for a topic, a distraction, a […]
The Relationship Looked Perfect on Paper. So Why Did It Feel So Empty? You are in a relationship. A good one, by most standards. Your partner is kind, reliable, present.
