31-year-old Maureen and 37-year-old Mark ended their 8-year relationship after Maureen began to believe her need for intimacy was “too much” for Mark.

Through the lens of the Mechanics of Men and a critical mindset shift, I unpack how Maureen’s needs became misinterpreted, and what she can do, going forward, to have the best chance of getting her needs met should the couple get back together.
