When a partner returns after being distant, it is important to be open and honest with them. This means:
• Showing that you are available to talk and willing to listen without judgement.
• Acknowledging the hurt their distance caused, but also emphasizing that it's in the past.
• Resuming activities or conversations you shared before they pulled away.
• Reassuring them of your commitment and love for them, regardless of what happened while they were gone.
By taking these steps, couples can start rebuilding trust and establishing a stronger relationship than before.
