How couples handle mismatched aging when partners are at different physical stages

My partner is ten years older than me and their body is aging faster than mine, and we're both grappling with the reality that our physical capabilities and desires are increasingly mismatched. We love each other deeply but I can see them pulling away out of shame about what they can't do anymore, and I don't know how to bridge this growing distance without making them feel worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love across different rates of physical aging demands navigation of shame, desire, and the courage to stay present with change.
