5 WARNING SIGNS OF EMOTIONAL DISTANCING WITH YOUR PARTNER

Do you have a spiritual and emotional bond with your significant other? A relationship built solely on intimacy won’t last. How do you know if your person is becoming emotionally distant to you?

SELF-SABOTAGING ACTIONS AND ATTITUDES

Some people get into a relationship and feel overwhelmed. It can be insecurities from past failed romances or other mental or emotional issues. To keep you at arm’s length emotionally, your lover may intentionally or unintentionally sabotage the relationship. It may start with little things like forgetting important dates and appointments. Then, the situation may evolve into picking arguments to get your temper flared. They may be trying to create an out for themselves, so they have no blame or guilt.

THEY ARE DEFENSIVE

Your mate may be distancing emotionally when they get defensive every time you try to discuss your relationship. They may insist that everything is fine and that you are blowing the situation out of proportion. The relationship may turn toxic if they start shifting all the blame to you.

THEY STOP COMMUNICATING

The whole idea of having a relationship is communication. If you aren’t talking and listening to each other, then something is wrong. They may hear what you say, but it’s futile if they’re not practicing active listening skills.
An emotionally unavailable partner relies on short answers to your questions and never engages in conversation. Most subjects are covered superficially, and you may notice that they are in a hurry to get away from talking. While they used to call and text you, they soon stop taking your calls and ignore your texts and voice messages.

THEY NO LONGER VALIDATE YOUR FEELINGS

If your person doesn’t have your back and hears you speak what’s on your mind, then who will? An emotionally unavailable lover may begin to ignore your opinions and stop validating your feelings. Soon, you feel alone, ignored, and frustrated.

THEY DON’T DISCUSS THEIR FEELINGS

One of the beautiful things about being a couple is that you can express your feelings effectively with each other. This may be a little more difficult for men than women, but sometimes guys will open to their partner about their most intimate secrets. You have a closer connection when you share what’s on your mind and heart. If your significant other starts clamming up, it may be a sign of emotional distance. In the beginning, such discomfort may be linked to intimacy issues or conflict avoidance. It’s a different situation when a usually honest and open lover stops communicating how they feel to you.
