feeling alone in a relationship

Not feeling emotionally connected with my partner although there is love there......

If there is love there, why aren't you feeling emotionally connected? What you're missing is PASSION, HEAT, then?

If you guys are emotionally flat, only thing I can suggest is: Start an argument (I mean a conversation of discourse, on some topic like politics). Should get the blood flowing! Then have a happy "make up" session after.

Why are you feeling emotionally disconnected, is there something going on in your relationship or in your life that you feel is causing it? Have you talked to your partner about it?

There are many reasons why you may be feeling disconnected; depression, early childhood attachments, and your partner's subjective reality. In my previous relationship my partner was loving in the beginning, but had a child like quality that made me cautious about connecting with him. The child like quality in a 50 year old man had a lot to do with his mental state. Maybe you can discuss what you are feeling with a therapist?

i reckon one can love someone and not be emotionally connected with them, however if i did all i could in the relationship as far as expressing my feelings and trying to make things work and nothing changes, i think i would have to reevaluate the relationship and decide whether to move on. it takes two to make a relationship work and if only one person care enough to try then nothing will work out if you fighting to save it alone. i rather be happy alone then miserable with someone else.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
