Summary

This episode dives into the feeling of disillusionment in long-term relationships—when the connection, ease, or intimacy from the early days starts to fade and partners question what changed. The hosts unpack how this shift is often tied to attachment dynamics, life stressors, and the transition from novelty to responsibility in relationships. Instead of jumping to blame, the episode encourages listeners to get curious, explore the root causes of change, and decide whether to grow through it or lovingly let go. We cover topics such as: Feeling let down in a relationship is normal Life stress makes connection harder Attraction isn’t just about looks Early relationships feel easier because there's less pressure And More!
