At the beginning of your relationship, you probably couldn’t bear to go anywhere without your partner. As time passed and children came into the relationship, it became more natural that you both do things without the other, at least from time to time. When your plans virtually never involve your partner or his or her plans virtually never involve you, there is a lack of connection in your relationship. You may have heard other couples proudly proclaim that “We do our own thing.” While having some alone time with your friends or family is fine, if you are always doing your own thing, you could be on the downhill side of a very slippery slope.
It can be extremely difficult to regain intimacy in a relationship once it is gone, therefore making an effort to involve your partner in your life is certainly the better option. If there is simply no joy in being together, your partner makes you feel bad about yourself when you are together, you feel sad much of the time, or you have no trouble seeing a future without your partner, it’s time to sit up and take notice. If it turns out that your relationship is beyond repair, consider speaking to an experienced Ayo and Iken family law attorney sooner, rather than later.
