Love language is one way to see the love and care of a partner. But unfortunately, not all couples can show this.
Some people even feel emotionally neglected by their partners, even when married.
Being emotionally neglected by a partner can certainly cause pain. Couples will stop sharing feelings, no longer communicative and responsive.
This can make domestic life no longer feel warm. What the heck, that makes a partner so emotionally neglected?
One of the most common causes of emotional neglect is that your partner is unable to express his feelings. One or both partners may experience feelings of hurt, anger, or resentment.
If they last long enough, these bad feelings can lead to feelings that their emotional needs are not being met.
This is what usually triggers emotional infidelity, when you or your partner prefer to confide in other people. If left unchecked, emotional infidelity will open the door to physical infidelity.
So, what are the signs that you have been emotionally neglected in a marriage?
When emotionally neglected, you or your partner usually feel rejected, neglected, or lonely. When upset, couples often use silent treatment and refuse expressions of affection.
Instead of communicating their feelings, they blame their partner and shut themselves off when their partner wants to discuss their problems.
They will continue to ignore their partner's need to be loved. In fact, they can refuse any form of expression of love from a partner.
This can cause feelings of anxiety. Marriage is lived like walking on a thin layer of ice that can break at any moment.
Not only emotionally, this also has an impact on the loss of physical intimacy. In addition, partners will feel socially isolated because they are rarely invited to go out with them.
Having a healthy marriage can keep you from being emotionally neglected.
