Marriage OOOOH!

Having slightly negative feelings toward your partner.

As inherently flawed human beings, we make mistakes. Sometimes we fail to live up to our own expectations or the expectations of our partner. When expectations go unmet, the result is bitterness that acts like an acid; one that slowly eats away at the foundation of the relationship.

The negative feelings that you are experiencing are likely due to not having a need or an expectation met (we formulate expectations to try and meet our needs). Don’t ignore this warning light! Instead, take a moment to reflect upon why you are feeling what you’re feeling.

Look deep within yourself to see if a need or expectation is not being met. Then communicate your feelings to your partner. Make sure to use “I statements” as to not put your partner on the defense. Ignoring this sign will only cause further relationship damage.
