The most common question I receive is — *”What do I do?”*
And my honest answer, after working with so many people and relationships, is this:
You cannot love someone into emotional availability. You cannot try hard enough for two. You cannot keep pouring into something that is not being tended to from the other side.
What you *can* do — is get clear.
Clear about what you need. Clear about whether those needs are being acknowledged. Clear about whether the person you are with is *unable* to show up emotionally, or *unwilling* to.
That difference will tell you everything.
Emotional disconnection is painful. But staying silent about it, hoping it fixes itself — that is how love quietly dies.
Start the conversation. Even if it is hard. Especially if it is hard.
