Yeah, I do feel that way, and I feel really criticized and unsafe. Okay, so you feel unsafe. Yeah, you know, and then you'll realize that when you repeat back, it's much like therapy that someone say, well, it's not so much unsafe, it's just that, It doesn't feel right for us to talk about sex. It feels like if we have to talk about sex, that there's a problem in the relationship.

And now you're just gathering information. You're learning that your partner feels like anytime you talk about sex, there's a problem. Maybe they've even shared with you that in the past, someone tried to talk about it and it wasn't healthy. You know, so this might be the very first conversation. You don't have to come to a conclusion. It doesn't have to be the last time you talk about sex.

Remember, this is the first time you talked about it. And then you just thank your partner. You're learning more about them. And then you can, you know, bring it up again. If they really won't talk about it. I mean, again, it could be like maybe once a week, once a month. But eventually, hopefully, you're going to get to a place where your partner feels like this is just really an important topic.

I've just got to... And what you're going to see is probably there's some stress, trauma, or shame that's come up. Now... We don't have to be our partner's therapist either. If you feel like your partner is like, no, I'm not talking about it. Or I had some earlier trauma. This is where I highly recommend therapy. I think that every single person can benefit from therapy.

Every couple benefits from therapy. Every individual is going to benefit from therapy and just think of Therapy is like a second opinion on your life. I still think that some people think it's like something's wrong and it means we're going to break up. It's going to get divorced. No, it's really just like if you have a problem with your business, you're going to go to a business coach.

I know you talk a lot about this in the show, but I just feel like for some of these really pressing issues, if your partner has shut down, and usually it is fear, which let me remind everyone is false evidence appearing real, that is fear, and a lot of us have it, that there's gotta be ways, if it doesn't happen through your conversation, that you can get some help so you can get to a place and move to the other side of the conversation where it gets fun.
