Understanding Conflict Avoidance in Relationships
Couples often face conflicts but struggle to address them effectively, leading to avoidance. They fail to engage in productive disagreement and end up sidestepping issues, causing unresolved tensions to escalate over time. This avoidance can deepen rifts, breed resentment, and hinder mutual understanding, fostering negative feelings like judgment and criticism. Lack of conflict resolution skills exacerbates these issues, compelling couples to deal with mounting conflicts or live with unresolved tensions.
