When Your Partner Is Autistic: Why You May Feel Lonely or Unseen in Your Relationship
You can know that your autistic partner loves you and still feel lonely, disconnected or emotionally unseen in the relationship. When love is expressed and received in different ways, both partners can end up feeling misunderstood despite genuinely caring for each other. Learn why this happens in neurodiverse relationships with Counsellor, Lim Swee Chen, how to communicate your emotional needs more clearly, and what can help you build a stronger sense of connection.
Why Men Suddenly Stop Trying in Relationships (It's Often Not What You Think)
Why do some men stop trying in dating or relationships? It is often assumed to be anger, entitlement, or a loss of interest. Yet for many men, emotional withdrawal develops more quietly through repeated rejection, diminished confidence, and the growing sense that effort no longer leads to connection. Sex Therapist and Relationship Counsellor Dr Martha Tara Lee explains how understanding these different pathways helps distinguish healthy self-protection from emotional avoidance, controlling behaviour, and patterns of disengagement that can ultimately harm relationships.
Why Good People Sometimes Hurt the People They Love

Independent, Successful — and Uninterested in Sex
Can someone be independent, successful, and simply lose interest in sex? Sex Therapist & Relationship Counsellor, Dr Martha Tara Lee, explores why low sexual desire is not always a problem to fix, but may reflect changing priorities, autonomy, or emotional self-protection—and how to tell the difference.
Unspoken Expectations in Marriage: Why Couples Keep Arguing
Many couples believe their biggest problems are about money, chores, intimacy, or parenting. In reality, these conflicts are often driven by something less visible: unspoken expectations in marriage. When partners assume the other person should "just know" what they need, disappointment and repeated arguments can follow. Understanding where these expectations come from is often the first step towards building a healthier and more connected relationship.
Why Intimacy Often Fades After Having Children
Many couples notice this gradually. Conversations become practical. Physical affection becomes functional. Parenting takes priority, and the relationship slowly shifts from partnership to co-management. There may still be care, stability, and teamwork — yet emotional intimacy and desire quietly begin to fade. Sex Therapist & Relationship Counsellor, Dr Martha Tara Lee, discuss how to reverse the trend.
