5 Mistakes That Destroy Relationships Between a Man and a Woman

Strong couples work on themselves for years, learn to find compromises and talk about their feelings openly, without devaluing their partner’s emotions.

To build a good relationship, mutual love is not enough. Every person makes mistakes.

Some of them can be fixed, others inevitably lead to a breakdown in the relationship.

Constant criticism

Constantly making unflattering comments about your partner's appearance or character is a symptom of a cooling relationship.

Typically, such criticism appears due to the fading of feelings. When people first start dating, their love is so great that no one notices each other's shortcomings.

Once this period passes, a person begins to find something in his beloved that he does not like. The less feelings become, the more criticism appears, destroying the emotional connection of the couple.

Sometimes one partner begins to criticize the other because of their own insecurity in an attempt to give themselves more importance (increase their self-esteem).

A person who is unable to build a harmonious relationship with himself will not be able to build an adequate relationship with a partner.

Any insults to a partner’s appearance or character cause psychological trauma that is difficult to get rid of.

It is very painful to hear from your loved one that something is wrong with you. After such a relationship, things will inevitably become colder, and lovers will begin to distance themselves from each other.

Contempt, top-down communication

Contempt, sarcasm and ridicule towards one of the partners are a sign of an imminent breakup. People express hidden aggression towards the interlocutor with the help of caustic comments. Contempt is shown not only in speech, but also in behavior - rolling eyes, ignoring, showing disgust, etc.

Such emotions usually appear as a result of loss of respect and feelings, self-doubt, and complexes. They often arise from hushing up grievances. Contempt, expressed in any form, lowers the interlocutor's self-esteem and gives rise to doubts about his or her own importance.

Devaluation of the partner's actions and merits

Devaluation is one of the manifestations of psychological abuse. It consists of a value judgment or comparison with someone. The partner whose merits are devalued feels insignificant.

He is ashamed of not living up to his loved one's expectations. He needs constant approval and praise, but only gets a bad grade. It is almost impossible to stay in this state for a long time. If there is devaluation in the relationship, feelings begin to fade.

To build a strong relationship, it is important to value and respect each other. You need to thank your other half for every little thing - hammering a nail or cooking breakfast.

Unwillingness to listen

Lack of desire to listen and talk is a big problem in a relationship that will lead to separation. Without communication, there is no mutual understanding in a couple, and the emotional connection with each other is lost.

In such a situation, trust disappears between close people, but resentments appear, interest in the partner is lost. Without adequate dialogue, it is impossible to build healthy relationships.

When people in a couple stop listening and talking, they become lonely and unhappy. The longer this goes on, the higher the likelihood of a breakup.

Complete dependence of a woman on a man

Some women, due to life circumstances, their own desires, or at the insistence of their partner, find themselves completely dependent on their man.

This often ends with a huge amount of fear, self-doubt, and the need to endure all the antics of a more privileged husband.
Complete dependence on a man consists of:
• financial dependence;
• emotional dependence;

If a woman is completely dependent on a man, she ceases to exist as a separate unit.

Sooner or later, such relationships will simply begin to bore the partner, which will lead to a painful separation.

All people make mistakes, but most of them can be corrected. The most important thing in a relationship is the ability to conduct a dialogue and negotiate with each other.

If it is customary for a couple to discuss feelings, actions and situations, a loving man and woman can solve any problem together.
