The Koy Detmer
You're a good sport and you keep suiting up, but you've been on the sidelines far too long.Maybe you and your wife don't argue all the time, but you're certainly not connecting with one another. Maybe you feel more like roommates than lovers; there's no fighting, but you could just as well be invisible.If you feel invisible, how do you get your emotional and physical needs met? Do you ask your wife for what you need, or do you bottle these needs because you don't want to appear "weak"? Maybe there's so much pressure on you as "the man of the house" that you put the role of provider over your own needs, leaving them lost and forgotten.Connection can only grow from vulnerability and authenticity. If you feel frustrated and/or shut down, you're keeping yourself behind walls that keep you separate from your loved ones. It might be hard to imagine opening up at this point, but with gentle encouragement in a non-judgmental container, you can get back to YOU and gain confidence to share that with your wife.
