When emotional exhaustion from the wear and tear of the relationship sets in, resignation often follows.
Maybe you've quietly accepted that your relationship can't change. Perhaps you've stopped trying to communicate with your partner because it feels pointless. You might even wonder if feeling resigned means you've stopped caring altogether.
Feeling resigned isn't about a lack of concern or love for your partner or the relationship.
Resignation is a protective response to feeling stuck and exhausted from prolonged disappointment.
The important thing to remember is that accepting things as they are doesn't have to be your final destination. Instead, consider it as a gentle signal to be curious about what's beneath the surface.
What would you want if you believed change was still possible?
Instead of feeling detached, becoming curious can help you see things clearly. By gently exploring what's happening inside, you begin to reclaim hope.
