Romantic relationships require commitment and effort and can sometimes be tricky to navigate. As a couple, it may be that you are finding yourself increasingly arguing or struggling to resolve conflicts. You may be trying to deal with the fall out of an affair or some kind of betrayal that can lead to difficulties with trust, and feelings of insecurity, worthlessness or shame. It may feel like you are no longer able to talk to your partner or that you are struggling to remember any happy times in your relationship. When one or both partners is stressed, this can also affect our ability to feel intimate with a partner which can increase feelings of isolation in a relationship. The slings and arrows of life can also take their toll on relationships – whether one or both partners has experienced illness, is going through financial problems, or may be struggling with the responsibilities of raising children.
