When we are unfulfilled, ultimately what we feel most prominently is the sting of rejection. We only know that that wonderful feeling of being accepted for who we are, for the real person that we continue to be, has been lost, and we resent our partner for withdrawing the love that before was freely given. The more we think about it, the more we find other things to resent about that partner—things that did not bother us at all in the past. Finally, we no longer feel attracted to the person who once overwhelmingly attracted us.
