Minneapolis protester: 'We cannot allow this to happen again'CNN’s Sara Sidner reports from the streets of Minneapolis where residents are protesting after a 37-year-old man was shot and killed by federal agents Saturday, according to the city’s police chief. The Department of Homeland Security says the man was armed.

And when tension goes unresolved, sex often fades, not because attraction is gone, but because emotional safety is. Dr DeSeta said: “If you feel unseen or stuck in “roommate mode,” sex can feel like an obligation rather than something playful. Repair doesn’t start in bed.”AdvertisementHer advice here is to pause physical intimacy and focus on emotional repair, through conversation and low-pressure touch.
