Have you ever felt like your partner is more of a roommate than a romantic partner or spouse? Maybe you two make a fantastic team – getting the laundry done, going to the grocery store, getting the kids to and from school – but it doesn’t feel like a relationship. Psychotherapist Mary Jo Rapini talks about what happens when you feel emotionally checked out of the relationship.

Who teaches you women that you are entitled to anything else???? JFC…
I swear I got married to be alone.
Marriage is a piece of paper provided by the government, nothing more. Don't get married, you'll be happier in the long run
Done that didn’t work, he makes no effort
Give you some advice young men don't Marry q women with kids ………you will always be third best .
We're just room mates now,if you can call that. He verbally and eomtionally abuses me every day. He loves the 2 kittens like he SHOULD love me!
I have lost connection wd my partner…I love him though ..
He doesn't understand my feelings n argue on small thing
The person that’s checked out isn’t here watching these BS videos either.
"Humans need love, acceptance, and security."
When they keep telling themselves that eventually it will feel true i guess.
Excessive complaining over trivial issues may be the reason your husband seems distant. Why talk if it will lead to complaining for the sake of complaining. I define complaining as not offering solutions to somthing you don't like that you are emotionally dumping on someone.
I understand work, kids, and tiredness may play a part in a marraige but I found myself cheating and blaming it on my wife. I really didn't want to cheat but the lack of affection made me. I don't want to sound narcissistic but I feel it's her fault I cheated.
Wow she hit every single point I’ve been feeling
…..getting new puppies
When we met we had nothing and were happy now we have more money than we ever had and are roommates,kids change everything and restrict your relationship because now it is put kids first and marriage last!
Divorce rates skyrocketed once dual income was required to stay ahead of inflation! Most arguments between a married couple today are monetary! Keeping up with the jones is impossible
women often get out of place when they get comfortable. start getting sloppy . Not taking care of their hair . NOT DRESSING SEXY ANYMORE. MEN ARE VISUAL CREATURES. WE GOT YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTRACTIVENESS. WHEN YOU DISREGARD OUR FEELINGS . YOU GET THAT IN RETURN. MARRIAGE IS FOR SUCKAS. MEN, DO NOT GET MARRIED UNTIL YOUR AROUND 40 AND UP . GET YOUR SHIT IN ORDER. CAUSE THESE MASCULINE WOMEN IN AMERICA DON'T KNOW SHIT .
in my case , my wife doesn't like to be criticized . if you have a discussion about how your feeling she erupts into an enraged loon. if i tell her she is getting fat . she gets mad. if i tell her babe '' if you want a house we have to save up for it . not just me. because then its my house . your a tenant .
80% of divorce in america is done by women . then when they hit a certain age they wonder why there alone. you did it to yourself .
I just want my wife back the way it was, what a mess we made of it all. I wish I knew what to do.
I hate being married. Every time I look at the lazy idiot that I married, I still can’t believe how stupid I was.
Cuando ella está con su EX, ella deja de hablarme por las noches. Yo sé que han pasado estos días juntas porque tiene como 4 noches sin escribirme, y hace 2 su EX publicó historias de fotos de un paisaje donde mi esposa también me mandó, así que están juntas en su pueblo y casa. Todo bien, ella es su amiga y su hermana como ella me dice, pero por qué alguien que duerme con su amiga/hermana, tiene que tirar a un lado a su esposo? Por qué cuando ella le dedica tiempo a esta persona, yo desaparezco?
Wait, did she say an affair WON'T help the situation of you bring ignored like chopped liver– followed by her saying "humans need love"— huh?
Don’t give up be upfront with your partner and talk about the issues before it’s to late.
I feel single. A single mom. He works so much I have seen him 40 mins in the past week.
I married to my husband for years now and I’m lonelier than I’ve ever been in my entire life. Marriage straight up sucks
9 years no kids we just good room mates. I'm done.
Married for 24 years together for 29 years. Been through children, deaths, no money, lots of money and everything in between. Problem is we stopped being intimate with each other about 12 years ago. We still love each other and get along very well but it’s just not romantic or intimidate in any way. The emotional connection is just not there. Neither of us want to separate but are at a loss for how to re-connect in that way. Ugh.
lets face it, women have the ultimate weapon…and they know it and exploit it…
I feel so alone
He never touches me. Now he is abusive
All I need! I just want a Friday night date after 36 years together instead of him going to the bar.
I had an 8 year relationship. I stopped sleeping in the bed with her for the last 2 years of our relationship, I stopped having sex with her and became Emotionally Unavailable. She left me 5 months ago. It was my first relationship and I didnt know it would cause her to leave me. I got depressed and I didnt know why I started acting like that. When I figure things out… so much time had already passed and I didnt even realize what I was doing
Excellent video. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
