Words uttered in the stillness of the night can occasionally linger in eerie ways. Our reader was lying in bed after a heated disagreement when she heard her spouse lean in and say something that devastated her. He dismissed it with an explanation the following day, but it didn’t help.
Try to grasp your husband’s feelings about the relationship overall rather than just the words.
Inquire about his recent marital status and whether he is experiencing any problems. This way, the conversation isn’t about proving whether he said something hurtful, but about understanding each other’s feelings and seeing if there are any underlying problems you both need to address.
Consider whether this is the first time you’ve experienced this kind of disconnection or if you’ve had concerns about his devotion in the past. If it appears to be a one-time problem, that debate might have been the cause.
However, it can indicate that you both need to improve your communication and self-expression in the marriage if you experience this lack of connection or unpleasant behavior more frequently.
