Why They Pull Away After You Sleep Together

In this listener call-in episode, I’m answering two questions that come up all the time in dating and relationships: Why does someone pull away after you sleep together, and what do you do when your partner has legitimate reasons for not meeting your needs? We talk about why physical intimacy can create attachment before a real emotional connection has formed, the conversations you need to have before sex, and why waiting is less about an arbitrary timeline and more about protecting your heart. Then, I respond to a listener whose partner is overwhelmed by parenting, financial stress, and responsibilities—and explain why stress can make people rigid and emotionally unavailable, why “things will be better later” isn’t a relationship plan, and how couples can work together to create connection even during difficult seasons.
