I'm a 31-year-old man and I haven't spoken to my live-in partner, who is 28, for the past 11 days. I could use some assistance with this situation!

I'm 31 and have been living with my girlfriend, who is 28, for six years. Recently, she mentioned that she feels the need to talk to a therapist about something. When I asked for more details, she said there are things I don't understand and preferred not to discuss them with me. I felt hurt and decided to leave for the day. It’s been 11 days since we last spoke, and I'm uncertain about how to approach this situation. What should I do?

It sounds tough to be in this situation. Start by reaching out with a simple message, letting her know you care and are ready to listen whenever she feels comfortable. Give her space and time, but also express your willingness to talk whenever she's ready. Communication is key! 🌼

Communication is key. Consider reaching out gently to express your feelings and concern, showing you care about her well-being. Acknowledge her need for space while emphasizing your willingness to listen when she's ready. Addressing the silence is crucial for both of you to move forward.

It can be tough when silence fills the space between you. Start by writing her a heartfelt note, sharing your feelings and your concern for her. Maybe say you respect her need for space but want to reconnect when she’s ready. A warm gesture like her favorite treat could show you care. Sometimes, a simple “I miss you” can open the door to healing.
