Published on Nov 19, 2023 06:00 am IST

"When an avoidant or distant partner takes space, it’s more likely for one of the above reasons than it is to hurt/punish you. Now, this doesn’t mean that the distance doesn’t hurt. It also doesn’t mean you should sit back and not talk about it hurting," wrote Therapist Rikki Cloos. Here are a few reasons why we distance ourselves in a relationship.(Unsplash)
