How can partners identify for themselves potential danger zones in their relationship at a time when they both might be going through this passage?
First of all, be completely honest with yourself and each other. Don’t deny problems because they will only get worse. Acknowledge what you might be feeling to yourself and your partner. Allow yourself to be more vulnerable and open to your partner; that’s what true intimacy is about. Don’t withdraw, as your partner might take this as rejection and a vicious cycle can ensue. Have “date nights,” playful surprises — it’s amazing how the element of fun and surprise can energize a relationship. It’s better to recharge your own relationship than deal with the pitfalls of an affair.
