He stares out the window on a quiet Sunday morning, indifference clouding his eyes as he goes through the motions of a daily routine that no longer sparks any internal drive, curiosity, or passion within his heart.
Seeing a man lose his inner fire creates a heavy, lingering atmosphere in the home. When his sense of direction vanishes, he becomes withdrawn, irritable, or deeply passive, leaving you anxious about the future of his health and your partnership over time.
