Welcome back, my babes. You know I love my solos with you guys. And I hope you guys are liking them too.

I've been trying really, really hard to accommodate the best I can. And today, we're going to talk about something that is a silent relationship killer, but is really fucking brutal and so hard, what to do when your partner shuts down. How do you handle this, the stonewalling or the dismissive?

No, no, no, no, baby.

We're going to talk about it all today because I got you.

And as always, no, no, no, baby. We're

So let's get into it.

Let's talk about one of the cruelest things someone can do to you without laying a fucking finger on you.

And that's the silent treatment that people often disguise as, I need space.

And you know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about, right?

Mid-conversation, they just disappear. Not physically. Like, they might be sitting there, but emotionally left the building. And you're left talking to a fucking wall wondering, what did I do wrong? And I think we have to be able to hold space because I think a lot of this conversation is nuanced. And I want to just clarify that ahead of time. Because I got the data, right, I have the studies, I have all that that fun shit but I think what's really at the core of this is also trusting ourselves to be able to identify what's coming up and so what I mean by that is you know somebody shutting down in the middle of a conversation where you're sitting there if it happens once in a blue moon well that's a human right I've had that where Ryan and I might be mid well we're talking about something intense and I'll just kind of sit there for a minute and you can see I'm checked out. And it's like, obviously my partner knows, typically speaking, I'm incredibly communicative. So when I shut down like that, there's something going on, right? I think my system's overwhelmed. Like I'm just overloaded at that time. But that's not my pattern. And I think that's really what I see a lot.

And like some of the questions I got were like the long silent treatment for five minutes.

I waited patiently and then they didn't respond.

Why does my partner shutting down affect me so much?

How do I take my power back?

And really that like that last one, right?
