Everyday Love

06/11/2026

There is a strange kind of exhaustion that develops when people love each other, but feel perpetually disappointed in one another.

nobody chooses that destination. You’re looking for how to get somewhere else flip to the final slide.

feel so fair, perfectly reasonable

you both feel like you are doing your best and wonder why the other doesn’t seem to appreciate it.

Gradually the relationship starts to feel like yet another place where you are being evaluated. Good bad right wrong…

The playful teasing becomes less frequent.

The conversations revolve around what needs doing

Affection starts arriving with an invisible question attached.

And sometimes you find yourself having more fun with your friends then with the person you’ve chosen to share your life with.

Perhaps the most revealing question isn’t what your partner has failed to deliver on.

It’s more about what you’ve gradually stopped, allowing yourself to be in the world and in the relationship.

I’m so curious! Have you ever noticed this happening for either of you? Or between you?

My partner couldn’t believe I could talk about a haircut for this long - 😅😅🙃😅I’m not actually just showing real time how making your primary intention to connect ——changes basically anything for the better! 💋♥️

You both have perfectly reasonable expectations it seems.

Gradually the relationship starts to feel like another place where you’re being judged or assessed. Ick :(

The playful teasing becomes less frequent. In conversations tend to revolve around what needs doing.

Affection starts to have an invisible question attached to it. Am I OK? Are we OK? Do you still love me even though I’m not feeling it?

Maybe you wonder why you find yourself having more lightheartedness with your friends.

Maybe the most revealing question is not what has your partner failed to give you but more, what have you slowly stopped allowing yourself to be?

I’m curious if you’ve noticed this happened between you and what you have done about it?

It’s not some inevitable slide away from your true self. that’s the thing our relationship’s most thrive on. 🌟 see Fox and D’s words on the final page.

Remember when you could be ridiculous together?

When flirting happened in the kitchen, you laughed about, absolutely nothing, and being around each other felt deliciously easy?

Now there’s a running commentary in your head.

They could have offered to help.
Why am I always the one initiating?
Surely they know how much this matters to me by now.

And somewhere in all those perfectly understandable expectations, you started interpreting what your partner does-or doesn’t do-as evidence of how much they love you.

Meanwhile, they may be carrying an entirely different set of expectations about you.

What a romantic little arrangement. Two people silently marking each other’s homework. 🙃

And the cost?

The silliness gets quieter.

The flirting becomes less frequent.

Spontaneity feels strangely difficult.

You might even notice yourself becoming more careful, more critical, less expressive.

The relationship still works. You still love each other.

But where did all the JUICE go?

When we’re anticipating disappointment or judgment, our nervous systems can become more guarded. And that can make it harder to access the ease and safety in which faithfulness and desire flourish.

So I’m curious about something.

Are you carrying more expectations of your partner or of who you think you should be in this relationship?

And what part of you have gone quiet under the weight of this?

I love to hear what comes up for you 💋

this you? “I’m holding a picture of the relationship I want, but I keep it to myself because saying it out loud feels too dangerous. The kids are young, work’s busy, we just had a nice weekend and I don’t want to ruin it. Next month. When things settle. When I’ve figured out how to say it without it landing wrong.

But here’s what isn’t known for the longest time. I was caught in an invisible pattern in my nervous system that was preceding the behaviour. The spinning wheels. The imagining the worst. The keeping quiet because the risk of being on different pages felt bigger than the risk of staying silent.

That’s not a communication problem. It’s a nervous system flumphy safety-comfort-zone running underneath, one I didn’t even know I had.

The warm, loving, real team I actually wanted, the relationship where we’re both fully here, moving towards something together instead of just avoiding what might go wrong, that version was always available.

But my body was blocking it. It often hurt showing up as painful tension. Shoulders neck …

It’s possible to unlock those safety blocks, with awareness and embodiment movement.

1 x invitation to some embodiment practices for the tension, and to come deeper into yourself. Your voice x

There are three aspects of relationship change:
honesty with yourself and each other
What support you get needs to be structural and bring lasting shifts
Begins with showing up - ideally both of you

♥️ After 20 years of working with couples I discovered a method to add to my work and which I want you to know about.

because not all relationship troubles are to do with communication that involves language. Also not all resolving and evolving of relationships is to do with s*x and conflict.

These are often expressions of something that is deeper and more influential.

That’s been my discovery and the reason why my method of Soul Speak shifts in lasting ways.

Comment WHOLE to hear me chat about a simple but powerful key piece of the Soul Speak
method.

The love and connection is there. That’s not the problem.

What’s usually in the way is something quieter, and it’s what I write about in my weekly letters.

I’ll reply.

When I say higher up I mean - where our expression is playful, present, relaxed, compassionate and above all honest from the heart.

You might stay more present and here, by bringing honesty with a bit of touch. Place you hand on your belly or your heart to steady yourself.

If you find words difficult …

Sometimes it’s easier to reach across with a hand than it is to say something or it can help to actually touch with a hand on a knee or a shoulder whilst you’re speaking to help both of you stay in the moment and feel more safe. If they’re ok with this.

Feeling safe enough within yourself is the foundation for honest expression, and intimacy together that is genuine and live.
