Psychologist Mai Viet Duc - Nhan Hoa Viet Psychotherapy and Counseling Center, has given some suggestions to help couples identify and handle signs of rift in the relationship early.
Don't take small changes lightly
It could be a meal without any more questions, a neglected look when the other person talks, or the fact that the two are gradually getting used to being silent rather than sharing. Pay attention to the small details as they are a mirror that reflects the status of your relationship.
ask yourself
Occasionally, stop and ask yourself, When will I last have a sincere conversation with my partner? not a topic of discussion about home or children, but a true conversation, where you listen and be listened to. If you can't remember, it's probably time to proactively reconnect.
boldly admitting distance
It is not easy to say that we are far apart. But admitting the real emotions, whether disappointed, lonely or lost, is the first step to bring the two closer. A gentle statement like Have we talked to each other too little these days? is sometimes enough to start a dialogue again.
When needed, don't hesitate to seek support
If you have tried to listen and share but still feel stuck, it is completely normal to find a psychologist. A qualified third person can help the couple understand each other better, remove each knot in communication, and create a safe space for emotions to confess.
