Almost everyone shares personal anecdotes, sometimes very intimate ones. But when it comes to talking about your love life as a couple, a surprising silence sets in. A sort of taboo persists, especially when physical closeness seems to have faded. Why is it so difficult to talk about? And above all… why does this happen? If you’re discreetly asking yourself this question, rest assured: you’re far from alone.
Chronic fatigue: when everyday life takes over
The hectic pace of daily life can be a real obstacle to well-being as a couple and is often the number one reason for this distance. After a day juggling work, children, household chores ( and sometimes even helping elderly relatives ), there is rarely any energy left to nourish the relationship. Emotional fatigue, just like physical fatigue, considerably reduces the desire to get closer.
Fear of the unspoken: when we no longer dare to speak to each other
Broaching the subject of intimacy with your partner can seem daunting. Behind the silence, there’s often apprehension: fear of learning that you’re no longer being looked at the same way, fear of discovering a form of emotional distance, or even fear of not hearing anything at all. These unspoken words gradually create a silent distance… difficult to bridge if you don’t talk about it.
