Q&A: How Do I Connect With My Emotionally Disconnected Husband?

Authentic Intimacy®

Apr 23, 2021

Dear Juli,

My husband seems to have very little emotional awareness or energy. He avoids sex when he is emotionally drained, which seems often. I feel resentful that he doesn't save anything for me. When I share how I'm feeling, it just creates a bigger divide. How can I approach this issue more constructively?
