Instead of being open about your hopes, dreams, fears, and concerns, you could clam up, or find someone else to talk to. Psychotherapist Amy Bojanowski-Bubb describes how you might, “not tell your partner about your day in detail anymore: your worries, your small wins. So, instead of wanting them to be the first person you share things with, you’re actually telling friends, colleagues, or even just keeping it to yourself. So that emotional intimacy, it’s kind of fading quietly, and you’re kind of distancing yourself”.
