Are you in a loving relationship and the intimacy is missing? Perhaps it is not gone but somehow strained or ‘different’ than it was. If you are in this situation you should buck up because this condition need not be terminal. Many relationships are in similar states of disrepair and needing attention. With all the existing pressures on relationships these days it is no wonder that intimacy issues are on the rise.
The lack of intimacy is often the first sign of other problems. We are not suggesting that this is a minor issue; just that it may not be your biggest problem. A lack of intimacy follows infidelity or it can often be the result of an un-discussed event. Other causes are health, work, kids, family and menopause.
Therefore, the lack of former levels of intimacy is often evidentiary rather than causal. If there are issues of infidelity, hurt, anger, etc. the first thing that will suffer is intimacy. We all avoid intimacy if we are hurt or angered. Men can sustain this if they have had their ego bruised. If a man is embarrassed - whether intentionally or not - he will often withhold intimacy for some time. They will often make an excuse rather than attempt to explain what happened or why. Women will avoid intimacy if they feel emotionally unsupported. Happy relationships usually give a woman her minimum emotional support needs but this shrinks rapidly when her partner drifts away.
If you find yourself in such a situation you should decide if you want to fix it - we are assuming that is the case - and your level of commitment to doing so. You should then initiate a discussion with your mate to determine if he/she also feels that there is a lessening or absence of intimacy as you feel. Again this condition is normally evidentiary rather than causal.
If you are trying to get ex back or plan to win your ex back you will find that understanding this process may be key. Regardless, you may learn that attempting to get your ex back might be met with a willing partner.
