The story of the path to coldness in love is well known. We start off full of affection for one another and then with time feelings fade. Going cold is in this story simply the unavoidable consequence of familiarity. But there's another explanation. The loss of interest isn't either natural or inevitable.

Transcript
The story of the path to coldness in love is well known. We start off full of affection for one another and then with time feelings fade. Going cold is in this story simply the unavoidable consequence of familiarity. But there's another explanation. The loss of interest isn't either natural or inevitable. The boredom exists because we feel hurt by, angry with, or scared of our partner and because we haven't found a cathartic way to tell ourselves or them about it.
Tuning out isn't inevitable. It's a symptom of disavowed emotional distress. It's a way of coping. We're internally numbed, not just a touch bored. When we've gone cold, we may not truly have lost interest in our partners. We might just need an opportunity to imagine that we are quietly, really rather hurt and furious with them. And we should have access to a safe forum in which our tender but critical feelings can be aired, purged, and understood without risk of humiliation.
The words are the caption track's own and nothing is reworded or re-transcribed. Paragraph breaks are placed between sentences so the text reads as prose.
