Episode 17. Silent divorce is one of the most dangerous places a relationship can land — not because of explosive fights, but because of silence. In this episode, we explore how couples drift into emotional divorce, and how to interrupt the drift. For some, it's a chance to reclaim intimacy. For others, it's a wake-up call to consciously uncouple.

In this episode, we explore what happens after the initial rush of love—the limerence, the passion, the all-consuming desire to be together. Ashley and Lair talk about the natural and necessary phase of individuation that follows, when the real work of relationship begins. How do we return to our rhythms, our routines, our own inner lives—without disconnecting from the relationship? We reflect on the importance of allowing space for personal growth, how to navigate this shift with curiosity instead of fear, and why the conversations during this time are some of the most important for deepening emotional intimacy and long-term connection.
