While relationships
break down for many different reasons, we see some problems
cropping up time and again. These include:
GRIDLOCK She
has one view of asituation, he has another and neither can get
past that point.
LOSS OF INTIMACY
An initially loving couple finds that, as their relationship
progresses, the gap between them widens until they suddenly
find themselves feeling isolated from one another.
LACK OF COMMUNICATION
He'll say she doesn't understand and she'll say he never listens.
Attempts to communicate may be frustrated by children or the
television or half- hearted listening.
STRESS Exterior
factors such as a change at work, the birth of a baby, a relative
coming to stay, a death in the family or illness can make it
difficult for the couple to maintain a loving relationship.
BROKEN TRUST
Infidelity or other betrayals weaken or destroy trust.
CONTROL One
partner tries to exert control over the other.
