Introduction
I was told a story recently of a guy who was in a relationship for seven years. For at least the last three of those years his partner had stopped being affectionate with him. She didn't feel any attraction for him anymore, he says. It's a particular kind of ego death when well A we get broken up with and we go through the heartbreak of that but B when that heartbreak comes on the back of certain needs that we have that weren't being met in the relationship. We desperately wanted to be true, whether it's to have affection, to have their attraction, to feel safe with them, to feel loved by them when we don't feel those things.
