Why do relationships fall apart, even when two people love each other?

Today, Alberto sits down with Dr. Victoria Shalet, a globally renowned relationship therapist who has spent years helping couples navigate intimacy, conflict, and connection.

Drawing on her deep experience, Victoria shares why love fades, what truly breaks relationships apart, and how to rebuild trust and closeness.

Alberto and Victoria explore why couples repeat the same arguments, and how unresolved wounds shape the way we fight. They discuss why passion turns into distance, how blame and defensiveness keep us stuck, and what it takes to move from conflict to genuine understanding.

In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How to stop having the same argument again and again
• How broken trust can truly be rebuilt
• Why passion fades and how to bring it back
• The real reasons couples fight (and it’s not what you think)
• How to know if a relationship can be saved or if it’s time to let go

Love does not end because it disappears, but because it is left unattended.

This conversation is a reminder that lasting relationships are not about avoiding problems but about learning how to face them together.
