Thinking "I'm just not in the mood right now" means you don't love your partner is one of the most damaging intimacy myths out there. 💔 When your partner initiates and your immediate reaction is neutral, it doesn't mean the spark is gone. It just means your brain is asking: "How Do I Get There?".
When you stop expecting an instant light switch you can focus on building a warm, low-pressure transition into connection using touch, atmosphere and sensory aids (candles, oils, glass/metal toyZ, flavoured l***s etc).
(Do not mistake this for going forward without consent. Verbal consent should always be given, never assume when someone says no, they really mean "help me get there". This is not the case for everyone. Consent Matters.) 💖
