Episode 41: What If Your Partner Isn’t Trying? Part 2: Why Romance Fades & How to Get It Back

You plan the dates, initiate conversations, and try to keep the connection alive… but your partner seems comfortable. Maybe too comfortable. It can feel frustrating—like the effort is one-sided. But what if their lack of effort isn’t what you think?

In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really going on when romance fades, why your partner might not even realize something is missing, and—most importantly—what you can do about it. This isn’t about begging for attention or waiting for them to change. It’s about shifting the energy in ways that naturally bring back curiosity, attraction, and connection.

We’ll explore:

• The surprising biological reason why love starts out intense but eventually cools down—and why this doesn’t mean the relationship is doomed.
• How your brain, without you realizing it, can make your partner feel less exciting over time.
• Why waiting for your partner to suddenly “wake up” and put in effort isn’t the solution—and what works instead.
• The hidden factor that kills passion faster than anything else (it’s not what you think).
• A key shift that can make you feel more desired, connected, and excited in your relationship—even if your partner isn’t doing anything differently.
• Ten strategies that disrupt the patterns that kill attraction and make romance feel effortless again.

This episode will challenge the way you think about long-term relationships and give you clear, science-backed steps to break free from the rut. If you’ve been feeling unseen, unheard, or like you’re carrying the emotional weight of the relationship, you don’t want to miss this one.
