Signs a Relationship Is Ending: What New Research Reveals About the Slow Decline of Relationships

Previous studies tell us something alarming:
Couples wait an average of seven years from the time challenges begin to the moment they reach out for help.

Seven years of hoping things improve on their own.
Seven years of avoiding the uncomfortable conversations.
Seven years of small disconnections becoming entrenched patterns.

This new research expands on that timeline by showing exactly what happens in the years leading up to a breakup — and why so many couples feel blindsided even when the signs have been present for a long time.

It’s a conversation many couples wish they’d heard earlier.

Why Adding More “Accelerators” Isn’t Fixing Your Sex Life

Sex starts out fun and exciting. It happens often, easily, without much thought.

Then life happens. You get busy. Tired. Very familiar with each other. And at some point, you notice something has shifted. Sex doesn’t happen very often anymore. When it does, there’s not much enthusiasm behind it. It tends to look the same every time, if it happens at all.

Menopause and Relationships: What’s Really Happening and How Couples Can Navigate It Together

Menopause is still one of the most under-discussed transitions in women’s health, and one of the most misunderstood in the context of relationships. For many women, it’s a significant shift in how they experience their body, their emotions, their energy, and their sexuality. And for couples, it often becomes a quietly destabilising force, one that neither person quite has the language for.

AI Companions: What Our Digital Relationships Reveal About Modern Love

We’ve all seen the rise of artificial intelligence in our daily lives – from chatbots that schedule our appointments to apps that remember our coffee orders. But recently, something much more intimate has emerged: AI companions.

These digital partners are designed to offer conversation, empathy, and even romance. Platforms like Replika, Kindroid, and Gnomi promise human-like interactions that learn from you and respond just how you’d like.

I recently spoke about this growing trend on The Morning Show. It’s easy to see the appeal of a partner who’s always available, endlessly patient, and never argues. But as a relationship therapist and sexologist, I can’t help but ask: What does our growing connection with AI say about love, intimacy, and our emotional needs today?
