Blake Robert Templeton breaks down his five primal roles for men, arguing that repeatedly rejecting a partner's advances kills the Warrior's seductive energy. When she approaches and you're distracted or stressed, she withdraws her vulnerability. Instead of brushing her off, affirm her desirability and name a specific time to reconnect so you can shift into the Lover Prince role.
And that's why the 5 primal roles are so important. Like, you have a Warrior, and Warrior does not do the same thing that Lover Prince does. So like, seductive energy will not survive your repeated rejection. If she comes home towards you and you dismiss her because you're distracted, busy, stressed, emotionally numb, she may stop risking that part of herself. Instead of brushing her off when timing for you is bad, affirm her strongly. Tell her she is desirable. And give her a clear time when you want to come back. That allows you to shift your roles out of the role you're in and to step into Lover Prince. Love Prince.
