Explain Why a Relationship in Your Life Feels Different Than It Did

Something has shifted in a relationship and you cannot quite name it. It is not broken but it is different. This works through what has changed, what in your life and theirs might account for it, and whether this is a phase or a permanent change in what the relationship is.
