Me Jane, Me Numbing: When Distance Becomes Dangerous
Marriages don’t usually end with a bang—they fade with a slow quieting of the heart.
Jane had gone from hurt, to anger, to grief. Now she felt herself slipping into something worse: numbness. And numbness, for her, was the most dangerous stage of all.
When a spouse is hurt, there’s still a chance. Anger means they still care. But numbness? That means the heart is shutting down.
“Me Jane, Me Numbing” is a warning many marriages don’t recognize until it’s too late. Couples think, We’re fine, we don’t fight. But sometimes “fine” is just code for “I’ve stopped feeling.”
The takeaway?
Don’t ignore the early stages of erosion—small neglects lead to big divides.
Anger and conflict mean there’s still passion—numbness means the connection is dying.
Don’t wait for the storm. Reconnect now—through counseling, vulnerability, and choosing to notice each other again.
Because marriages aren’t destroyed by one big storm. They erode into numbness—and that’s when the heart quietly checks out.
