Logo Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It seems the less emotional intimacy there is in a relationship the easier it is to cope. Or am I confusing attachment with intimacy? I feel like we lacked emotional intimacy in our relationship. She rarely shared her feelings openly and so I felt that I couldn't share mine as openly as I wanted to. But I'm still grieving the relationship. Does anyone have any experiences they would like to share? Link to post Share on other sites
guest569 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I would think that the more intimacy and/or attachment, the harder it is to cope. The grief and loss feels stronger if you have had a strong connection severed. Was the breakup recent? Link to post Share on other sites
jen1447 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Definitely true. If you were only ever casually close to someone, it's generally not too tough (sometimes even easy) to move on. But when those deep, soul-level connections are severed ....it's really bad. Link to post Share on other sites
