How To Rebuild Trust After Emotional Cheating

Relationship Advice And Communication / Harsh Wardhan

Emotional cheating means getting emotionally attached to someone other than your partner.

It may lead you to share your feelings or personal struggles with that person rather than with your partner. You may feel close to this person and occasionally hold hands or hug them. You may also care about them more than you should.

Mostly, emotional cheating is unintentional, as it can happen before you even know it. Reasons behind emotional cheating can be increasing distance with your partner, growing closeness at work, or being in the same life situation or phase.

Realising that you have grown closer to someone other than your partner may trigger guilt. You may feel like you have let your partner down and be scared of sabotaging your relationship. You might not have any clue how it happened and may also feel confused about how to end it or whether you should tell your partner about it.

It’s a difficult situation to be in as the road ahead can be tricky. But the good part is that you have acknowledged the issue, are committed to making things right again, and have started looking for a solution. It takes strength to accept your mistake, and that strength will help you rebuild trust in your relationship.

Why Do I Feel Empty When I’m Not With My Boyfriend?

Relationship Advice And Communication / Harsh Wardhan

If it does, there may be a deeper reason besides just love.

Emptiness as a feeling means a lack of purpose in one’s life. There is no excitement or anything to look forward to.

Feeling empty when not with your boyfriend means he is the only “shining star” in your life. He is the one who brings you to life and makes you feel that life is beautiful.

When alone, if thinking about him makes you happy, or when he enters the room and your excitement suddenly knows no bounds, it’s a sign that you feel empty without him.

It may be true love, but it may also be something to be concerned about. It may tell you that, as a person, you lack something inside, something that can make you feel good about yourself and complete within yourself.

A glass is still a glass even if there is no water in it. Yes, it becomes even more meaningful when water is poured into it, but even without water, it’s a perfectly good, complete product in itself.

Thus, even when your boyfriend is not with you, you should feel at peace, if not ecstatic. But feeling empty definitely needs work.

How To Deal With Silent Treatment From Boyfriend

What to Do When Your Boyfriend Gives You the Silent Treatment

Relationship Advice And Communication / Harsh Wardhan

Being at the receiving end of a silent treatment is a tricky situation in a relationship. But the good news is that it has a simple yet powerful way to deal with it.

And the best part is that you can break out of the cold treatment without hurting the relationship.

Silent treatment is when your boyfriend is using silence as a weapon to have his way with you. He plans not to talk to you till you succumb to the pressure and agree to his demands.

There are subtle signs to confirm you are getting silent treatment from your boyfriend.

If your boyfriend isn’t talking to you like he usually does, or ignoring your calls and SMSs, or getting irritated when you try hard to speak to him, he is giving you the silent treatment.

He may be giving you the silent treatment for one or more reasons.

He may be pressuring you to act in a certain way. For example, he may want you to let him spend more time with his friends. Or he may be trying to make you feel guilty for a recent situation by making you “think.” He may also be trying to gain the upper hand in the relationship and become more dominant by using pressure tactics.

Signs He Is Not Sorry for Hurting You: What You Must Notice

Relationship Advice And Communication / Harsh Wardhan

Feeling hurt is more common in a relationship than you may think. And luckily, it doesn’t require drastic measures.

Some simple yet powerful steps can set things right. It begins with looking for the signs your boyfriend isn’t sorry about hurting you.

When your partner ‘hurts’ you, it means they caused you pain in some way.

‘Hurting’ in a relationship can be emotional or physical.

Your boyfriend may say something insensitive that may hurt your feelings, for example, belittling your relationship needs like ‘honesty.’ It’s emotional hurt.

But they may also have a habit of hurtfully grabbing your arm while in an argument. This is physical hurt!

Let me make it very clear—emotional hurt has some room for giving the benefit of doubt, but ‘physical tackling’ is unacceptable in any relationship.

If your boyfriend hurts you physically, without much thinking, you must give an immediate, firm warning to him. If he repeats something similar, you need to get out of the relationship at the earliest.

How To Deal With A Partner Who Is Not Affectionate

Dealing With a Partner Who Isn’t Affectionate: A Compassionate Guide

Relationship Advice And Communication / Harsh Wardhan

To put it straight—it’s possible to learn how to deal with a partner who is not affectionate and turn them into an affectionate one.

Affection is a fundamental need in a relationship. It is what you get into a relationship for in the first place!

Affection is the proof of the presence of love in a relationship. When your partner misses you when you are not around, holds you tightly in their arms, or is just there when you need them emotionally, it’s affection. If love is the source, affection is the river that flows out of it.

If you do not receive affection from your partner, you must first think whether they find it difficult to show affection or if they are entirely unaffectionate.

If you feel they try but feel stuck and thus retreat, it’s a sign they are affectionate but are struggling to find a way to show affection.

However, if they make no effort whatsoever to comfort you and are not affectionate, it may be a personality trait.

But having an unaffectionate personality still doesn’t mean your partner doesn’t love you. It may mean their way of expressing affection or love language is different from what you expect. For example, they may consider financial security a way to show affection, while you may expect emotional closeness as affection.

Relationship Advice And Communication / Harsh Wardhan

Issues in a relationship are normal, but when your boyfriend starts comparing you to his ex in a fight, it’s more than just hurtful.

When it happens repeatedly, your trust begins to shake, and you wonder if he even wants to be with you anymore.

A fight is already draining and overwhelming. When your boyfriend tries to put pressure on you by bringing in his ex, it only complicates the situation further.

Relationship Advice And Communication / Harsh Wardhan

It can feel overwhelming, to say the least. First, you don’t want to fight, but you find yourself dragged into it. And after a mentally draining argument, when you need some time alone to regain yourself, you aren’t allowed to do so either. It all feels like you are reduced to a weaker version of yourself after the fight. You even start doubting whether your partner loves you or whether you are compatible as a couple.

But deep within yourself, you know it’s just the after-effects of the argument. The real issue is a lack of communication with your partner about the space you need after a fight. You are right!
