9 Ways To Feel More Present With Your Partner, According To Experts “If you’ve been with your partner for a while, or have simply become overwhelmed by the busyness that is life, you may start to notice a divide forming in your relationship. Maybe you spend a lot of time on your phone, or your partner is always checking their email. And as a result of all the distractions, neither of you ever feels fully present.”

Three Ways to Be More Present in Relationships “As human beings we all long to be seen and heard by another. Yet often, when we are with others, our minds are distracted. We might be half listening while we think about something we have to do, or something we want to say in the conversation; we might be partially caught in our own thought stream, or our own agenda.”

You might wonder where their mind is, or feel insulted or hurt that they’re not being fully present in your company.”
