Common causes of intimacy problems in a relationship
Many men have intimacy problems because they have learned to believe that weakness is a weakness; that men must be strong and controllable. This perceived need for men to hide any weakness can interfere with their ability to experience true closeness. But intimacy always involves a degree of weakness.
Intimacy is an emotional closeness when two people open up to each other and reveal their true feeling, thoughts, fear and desires. It’s more than just touching, kissing, holding your hands, or having sex. But this can only happen when the parties really trust each other and feel able to endure the risk of being at risk. Intimacy is a universal human need. Without them we feel lonely. This lack of intimacy is one of the most common causes of relationship breakdown.
A lack of intimacy may occur in a relationship for several reasons. Here are some of the most common ones:
Lack of communication
Intimacy is much more than physical contact. In fact, the intimacy and emotional closeness between two people depends on how comfortable they feel when communicating. That is why communication should be open, transparent, honest and effective. Good communication is about effective listening as much as speaking. The breakdown of communication means a breakup that can result in conflict. Watch out for play phrases like “Never listen” or “Don’t feel like you understand.”
Resentment, anger or mistrust
Arguments and differences are a natural part of any relationship and are often not resolved quickly. But consider whether persistent negative emotions such as anger or jealousy interfere with intimacy and become part of your relationship, rather than rare unpleasant feelings. If so, the underlying cause should be identified and understood.
Childcare
Being a parent is hard work. Nutrition, clean up the mess, get children to sleep, school, and other tasks that countless quickly drain any father of energy. The end result is to reduce the time and energy in the relationship with your partner.

Job and other obligations
Many people want to do a good job and achieve their ambitions. However, some people are so focused on their careers that they neglect their partner and the quality needed to invest in a relationship. Staying away from home, talking excessively from work, lack of time or energy, or allowing work to interfere with “personal time” will affect any relationship and contribute to the lack of intimacy.
