3 tips vs. Affective Tiredness Syndrome

The Affective Tiredness Syndrome in a couple occurs when passion disappears and silence gains ground; In addition, in this type of relationship, individuals have sex only to “check the card” or due to biological urgency.

 

According to American psychologists Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson , every relationship evolves and goes through some phases that coincide with the mother-child relationship, among these are:

  1. Fusion: When the two feel one
  2. Differentiation: Each person asserts their own identity and tests its strength
  3. Exploration: The ability to take distance from the other is tested with activities of all kinds of approach.

Experts assure that by overcoming the previous stages, couples come together, improve their communication , establish conditions clearly (each one is enriched by the differences of the other), and of complicity (the two become more involved in the construction of the couple and in the evolution of the other, opening up together to what surrounds them).

For her part, Dr. Ellen Wachtel , couples therapist and author of the book “We love each other very much, but…”, believes that life as a couple does not have to be boring, because interest can be maintained. To achieve this, the specialist gives you three tips to avoid Affective Fatigue Syndrome and have a happy relationship with your partner:

  1. Practice the noble exercise of giving thanks. Couples who have been together for a long time stop recognizing what they give to each other, because they have become used to receiving. Dr. Wachtel points out that admitting and expressing what we like about our partner (from "I like it when you cook" to "I love how you kiss me"), and expressing our gratitude, is very effective in intensifying the union.
  2. Daily coexistence makes us forget certain behaviors that at the beginning of a relationship we would be unable to commit; for example, opting for neglect of physical appearance or rudeness. Interest in the partner is shown by making an effort to be attractive and respectful.
  3. Work stays away from home. Dr. Wachtel assures that unloading bad humor or complaints on the couple creates a great distance, because it is a form of abuse of trust.

So do not hesitate to stay attractive to your partner and try to have nice details with her. Feed day by day the love that led them to unite.
