What it can feel like.
Most couples don't fight about what they think they're fighting about. The dishes, the schedule, or the phone are often stand-ins for something deeper: feeling unheard, unappreciated, or alone.
When conflict repeats without repair, distance grows. You may stop bringing things up at all, or every small issue turns into a big one.
- The same arguments on repeat
- Shutting down, snapping, or walking on eggshells
- Feeling more like roommates than partners
- Kids picking up on the tension at home
