I got to thinking today about a comment Valerie made about her relationship that recently ended. It was not the first time I heard that remark. Broken hearted Valerie told me that she and Vince had felt so comfortable with each other when they first became an item. They could talk about anything. She felt so free to be herself. She felt adored and appreciated. He seemed too as well. Being together was easy. It was safe. It was wonderful. Then something changed.
It wasn’t safe any longer. She felt criticized. He was not himself anymore. When they were together, they didn’t have anything to say. They would sit across the table from each other and couldn’t come up with much more than the weather. Maybe they had grown apart.
Maybe. Maybe not. It’s possible to grow in different directions. It’s also possible to jam up the air waves. When communication gets jamed, there is typically nothing to talk about. The person sitting next to you or across the table shows up as a stranger who you would rather not be around. This is typically when the thought to move on starts to set in.
Before you dump this total stranger, consider your new reality may have more to do with the way you two have been communicating. . . or not, as is probably the case. Massive personality changes are rare.
Something to think about.

You never listen to me! Sound familiar? Lots of women say it’s their number one gripe about the men in their lives. Males, of course, see it another way; my co-host Ken thinks it’s just plain dump-on-guys week.
