Why are we doing all the “right” things, but still feel so alone?

You plan the dinners, agree to keep the peace, perform the role of the supportive partner, and try not to rock the boat. And yet, something still feels off. The spark is gone. The intimacy is missing. The disconnection is unbearable.

You’re not angry. You’re not yelling. You’re just… tired.

The kind of tired that sinks in so deep, you’re not even fighting anymore, you’re just holding it together in silence, hoping things will somehow fix themselves.

You say one thing. They hear another. And somehow, the more you try to explain, the worse it gets.

Sound familiar?

This is what defensiveness does. It scrambles your message, distorts your intentions, and quietly chips away at emotional safety, until even love starts to feel like a battleground.

According to renowned relationship researcher Dr. John Gottman, defensiveness is one of the top predictors of divorce. And not ...

Have you ever had that moment in the kitchen?

You’re just standing there, maybe making dinner, maybe scrolling your phone, and the weight of everything unsaid between you and your partner fills the room like smoke.

You want to say something.

You really do.

But the words feel like landmines.

“I’m still hurt.”

“I don’t know how to forgive you.”

“I hate that I can’t let this go.”

So, once again… you say nothing.

You’re giving them space… but it’s starting to feel like emotional quicksand. You don’t know what to say, so you say nothing. Or maybe you say everything and still feel unheard. You reread old texts. Obsess over their social media. Wonder if reaching out will push them away, or if staying silent makes it seem like you’ve stopped caring.

Do you feel like you and your partner are growing apart? Like no matter how much you try, the connection you once had is slipping through your fingers?
