Two Signs That Your Relationship Isn't Going To Work
Episode #699 What are the two main reasons why relationships break down? The main two reasons why relationships break down are unmet expectations and thwarted communication. Unmet expectations occur when there is a mismatch between what one person expects from the relationship and what the other person is willing or able to give. This can lead to resentment, anger, and eventually, the end of the relationship. Thwarted communication occurs when one or both partners are unable or unwilling to communicate their needs and wants to each other. This can lead to misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and a lack of trust. On the other hand, relationships succeed when there are clear expectations that are usually met and open lines of communication. This means that both partners know what the other person expects from the relationship and are able to communicate their needs and wants in a clear and honest way. This allows for conflict resolution and helps to keep the relationship strong. In this episode, you'll learn about the two main reasons why relationships break down and how to improve communication in your relationships. __________ Hungry for more?
