When a relationship feels distant even though it's fine, you're probably numbing vulnerability along with the pain. Try this: tell your partner one true thing about yourself, then ask them an open question. That exchange is where trust starts.
If your relationships feel fine but not close, here's why. When we numb vulnerability, we numb joy too. One brave move today. Say one true sentence, then ask one real question. I'm overwhelmed. How are you really? That's how trust starts.
Vulnerability isn't oversharing. It's being reachable. Who are you withholding from? There's an audiobook read by the author if you want to go deeper. More details in my profile tab.
