- Can’t you communicate with your significant other?
- Have fights been happening a lot lately?
- Do you feel as though something is lacking?
- Not sure if you should hang on or let go?
It is possible to love someone and yet be poisonous to them because of things like unresolved insecurities, skewed thought patterns, relationship ideals, anger management problems, dominating behavior, etc. from our past.
To maintain wholesome relationships, we must have
– the ability to communicate honestly
– Resolving disputes
– unwavering forgiveness and acceptance, etc.
Starting therapy can be scary for couples since it would require them to own up to the problems in their relationship. Some people are unable to recognize the potential causes of their problems, which can lead to miscommunication, arguments, emotional blackmail, cheating, aggression, and other issues that worsen their situation.
Principal Causes of Relationship Problems
Unresolved behavioral issues, including as angry outbursts, emotional instability, and addictions to alcohol, cigarettes, porn, or gambling, can progressively become more serious issues and have a significant negative impact on the relationship between partners.
Distorted Communication: A romantic relationship can suffer greatly from verbal abuse, criticism, harsh or degrading remarks, or a breakdown in communication.
Different love languages: Everybody expresses and feels love in a different way. One or both parties may feel overlooked, misunderstood, and neglected when they speak different love languages.
Cheating or Infidelity: Relationships can suffer greatly from betrayal and trust violations, but therapy can help by using this experience to revitalize the connection.
Past baggage: Unprocessed and incompletely explored personal situations can have an impact on couple dynamics. Therapy can help sort through and examine these experiences.
Sexual incompatibility: It can result in unmet demands that make partners feel unwelcome and distant. These differences can include differences in libido, frequency of sexual activity, lack of sexual desires, poor interest, and diverse sexual wants.
Quarrel Resolution: When a quarrel arises, failing to voice concerns, shutting down, or violently assaulting a spouse causes further emotional harm to the relationship, which in turn causes anger and bitterness to fester.
Trauma: Events that occur inside, such as physical or sexual abuse within a partnership, can drain the life out of a relationship and leave two estranged people in its wake. External events include the death of a parent or child, accidents, serious injuries, and financial disaster.
