From Brian:

5 ways couples drift apart without even realizing it.

1. More logistics than laughter.

2. Less touch, less play.

3.Talking but not really listening.

4. Avoiding hard conversations.

5. Living parallel lives under one roof.

Which one feels the most familiar in your marriage?

From Erica:

“I shouldn’t have to tell them what I need. They should just know…” This is one of the biggest traps couples fall into. It’s easy to believe that if your partner really knew you, they would just know what you need, but expecting them to read your mind only leads to frustration and disappointment. When needs aren’t spoken, they don’t just disappear. They sit under the surface, turning into resentment, and resentment will slowly erode your connection. Part of the problem is perspective. What feels obvious to you might not even cross your partner’s mind. That’s not a lack of love, it’s a lack of clarity. Healthy couples don’t leave their needs to chance. They talk about them openly. Not as demands, but as invitations to be understood. When you voice what you need, you give your partner the chance to actually show up for you. That’s how you build a relationship where both people feel seen, supported, and understood.

Dawn's post on Facebook that was the catalyst for this podcast:

This is what it’s like to live inside traumatic grief. This is my attempt to describe the indescribable. A record of consciousness under traumatic grief. One of the toughest side effects of Hannah’s death is the requirement of continued participation in the world. The violence of function after catastrophic loss. To continue to live when it’s too painful. To reestablish and invest in a new life without her in it. It’s like trying to walk on broken legs every day with the expectation to “just keep moving.” A critical, cultural engrained narrative. The mind turns off due to the intensity of the pain. It’s like living Life as an amnesiac without recall from one day to the next. An Etch a sketch erasure every night of everything. Each day like the day before. Groundhog Day. Perhaps a merciful state and not a flaw. Divinely designed. Defense mechanism. A definitive before and after occurred. I am someone else that I don’t recognize. And I am the same. The paradox of continuity and rupture. I no longer know myself. The internal geography shifted significantly. I have no coordinates. I am not sure that I recognize the world either. It seems strange now. But it hasn’t changed. Like I’m in a cage but I don’t want to come out. I’m out at the same time. The cage is in the mind. I cannot open it this time. Too heavy. Too much. Not enough. Learned helplessness? Defeatist? No longer resilient? Inherently resilient. Self evident. A cataclysmic, seismic event. Replaced by another mind, a brain that operates under a new system. The world is always a stage. Perhaps I am just no longer part of the performance. And I am as well. There is a duality of presence and absence. A dialectic. Ambivalence. However, not myself. Anew. Transfixed. Disenchanted. Capricious. Mercurial. Still. Unchanging. Annihilated. Gone. Here. My traumatic grief. My stream of consciousness this evening.~d.
