Summary
“Quiet quitting” has been applied to some marriages, where one partner reduces emotional effort while maintaining daily responsibilities. Experts say this pattern can indicate emotional disengagement. Relationship therapist Lisa Brookes Kift noted that lack of conflict may not mean a relationship is healthy. Avoidant attachment styles may contribute to this dynamic. Kift said early signs of disengagement include reduced communication and emotional distance. She warned that unaddressed issues can lead to long-term emotional erosion.
