## Resource

In this episode, Matthew and Stephen Hussey break down the real reasons this happens in dating and relationships—from emotional unavailability and low self-worth to the ways we may unintentionally push someone away ourselves. They talk about: Why some people lose interest once they feel they’ve “won” you Why emotionally unavailable people struggle with closeness How overinvesting too early can change the dynamic And how to tell the difference between someone pulling away because of them… or because of unhealthy patterns in the relationship If you’ve ever felt confused, rejected, or anxious when someone suddenly became distant, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on.   --- ►► Every Friday, Matthew Hussey writes a personal letter to help you strengthen the three most important relationships in your life—with others, with yourself, and with life itself.
