Ep 171 Q&A: What to do When There’s No More Attraction

Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

In this Q&A episode, a listener wrote in asking what to do with the knowledge that their partner is no longer physically attracted to them. When a relationship reaches the point where we are no longer having sex and we are on the verge of a break up - what advice would we give?

We’re talking about:

1. Acknowledging the pain and difficulty about the situation on both sides.
2. Letting go of the tendency to focus all of our energy on the negative, so that we might see this as an invitation back to ourselves and a way to reconnect with our individual turn ons.
3. Realizing that relationships and life ebb and flow, and how we might have important conversations with one another to dig deep and ask, “Is this about their attraction to me, specifically, or do one or both of us not have a vibrancy for anything in life right now?”
4. Remembering that the longevity of a relationship does not determine the level of happiness or success, and that a relationship ending doesn’t mean it was a failure.

And so much more!
