Millions of men and women feel neglected and unwanted at home. Their spouses, who promised to love and cherish them, feel more like roommates. They wonder why there is distance in the relationship and are tired of the coldness and rejection.
If you're the partner of an Intimacy Anorexic®, we call that married and alone. You can check out the series of books Dr. Weiss has written on that subject here:

Dr. Doug Weiss has been helping couples deal with relationship issues for over 30 years. In this video, he details a few most common reasons this situation occurs.
Most often it's due to Intimacy Anorexia, the act of withholding emotional, spiritual, and sexual intimacy from your spouse. There is a list that reveal this disconnect ranging from the spouse being too busy or always being critical.
Other possible reasons include Depression (feeling worthless and not able functional well on any level) or even Schizoid Personality Disorder (a condition in which a person avoids social interactions and events, not desiring close relationships, preferring to be alone and are emotionally cold and unattached to others).
If Intimacy Anorexia is the reason why, Dr. Doug Weiss has been working in this in relationships for years and has solutions to help couples deal with this issue.
Also, we have a test you can take to determine if Intimacy Anorexia® is the issue in your marriage. Take the test here:
