    Hi 2003pal,

    Sounds like a difficult situation to be in. I’d say: talk to him, but that seems not to be working.
    There is another thing to try: relax. Work on your own happiness.
    And another thing: try not to watch tv together, but take a walk outside, or have a nice dinner together, take a ride…

    I do hope that you guys can work it out 🙂

    Namastay 2003pal,

    To take the advice of Thich Naht Hahn you can address your loved one with the following words:

    “dear loved one, I know that you are suffering” “I know that I may contribute to your suffering” “I want you to know that I care about your suffering,” and “help me understand your suffering so I can help you.”

    These words are indeed very powerful and have helped me through difficult times in my marriage as well. There is a lot of power in caring about the suffering of another as you would care and love about yourself.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi 2003pal,

    What you said about your partner, “When he feels like he will speak to me and then suddenly he stops speaking” speaks volume with me. Im going through the same thing in my relationship. I’m trying to be there for them, but it usually drives them into a ball and passive behaviour. My only advice to you is, express that you’re here for them, if and when they’re ready to communicate. Their behaviour is really selfish in my opinion, but what can you do? Just concentrate on yourself and occupy your time with personal activities, don’t fall into bitterness.

    I hope things turn around for you and me both.
