6 Signs Contempt is Poisoning Your Relationship (and how to stop it)

Contempt is the single biggest predictor of divorce and relationship breakdown

Contempt refers to an attitude of superiority, disregard, and disrepect for your partner, frequently expressed through actions like rolling eyes, sarcasm, name calling, belittling, mocking, and dismissing feelings and opinions. Contempt can cause severe damage to any relationship.

The fear of uncertainty and not knowing...

The fear of uncertainty is at the heart of all fears. It is the fear of not knowing what will happen, how things will turn out, or what outcomes to expect. This fear can be paralyzing and it often prevents individuals from taking risks or making important decisions.

Avoiding dealing with problems? What you resist will persist

Avoidance can be debililating and isolating. It can prevent us from facing our fears and reaching our full potential. That's why it's important to recognize the signs of avoidance and take steps towards overcoming it.
