[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of this has to do with overbearing parents and a fear of being suffocated or absorbed. And one partner often does all of the feeling in the relationship, for both. Backing off and giving space helps a lot, although in the beginning the emotionally distant one might feel this is a test or a trap, it has to be a sincere, consistent decision to give the other space, while still remaining friendly and open to the relationship. very hard work. Likewise, the emotionally distant one has to challenge him/herself to be available even when it feels crummy to do so. counseling is great help.[/quote]
