The Pursuer-Distancer Dynamic

Do you feel like you're the only one trying?
Are you always the one who reaches out, starts the hard talks, and keeps the marriage going?
Does it feel like your wife just shuts down, pulls away, or avoids connection?

This is called the pursuer-distancer dynamic, and it’s common in struggling marriages. One person chases. The other runs. And both feel stuck.

✅ Why one-sided effort creates stress and silence
✅ How the pursuer-distancer pattern starts and keeps going

🔹 Want closeness but don’t want to feel needy

🔹 Want to stop reacting and start leading yourself

You Will Walk Away With:
