When couples practice tantric spirituality at different paces

My partner and I have been exploring Kashmiri Shaivism together but we're experiencing the practices completely differently - they're having profound non-dual recognitions while I feel like I'm just going through the motions, and it's creating this unspoken tension where we can't share what should be our most intimate spiritual journey. We both want to support each other but I'm starting to feel like maybe I'm blocking their progress or maybe they're just better at this than I am.
