We’ve been in counseling for about a year, and both of us have been getting better in our respective ways. Issue I’m having now is I’m emotionally tapped out and don’t have the same interest or desire for them as I did. I love them very much, but I’m becoming quite indifferent and have been enjoying my time away from them more than with them. Our first years were awesome, but the last two have just been stressful and tiring; it’s been hard to just move past that.

Any advice from those who have been through rough patches and it turned out better?

    Look into PACT Stan Tatkin. Or EFT, Imago, Gottman. Couple therapy has to be more than hashing it out with a witness in order to be effective.

    like someone else said, not a lot of info on which to provide feedback but IME many couples fail to create new experiences together as well as fail to really learn to make their partner a source of support. So the ‘magic’ wanes. Except it’s not a matter of magic but of the right behaviors
