My partner and I keep cycling through the same pattern where I want more emotional connection and they pull back because they feel pressured, which makes me pursue harder, and we both know we're recreating something from our families but we can't seem to stop mid-spiral.

More people experience this than they realize.
The unconscious templates from early relationships are stronger than conscious intention, creating cycles that feel both foreign and familiar.
