Let’s go more in depth on the emotional bank account. We know that when the ratio is skewed towards the negative we can feel misunderstood and frustrated in our relationship. But, what happens if the balance remains low over time?
Friendship breaks down. Emotional intimacy breaks down. Physical intimacy breaks down.
It’s like a domino effect, as one leads to the next.
When couples are struggling, they identify the same few causes. “It’s our communication,” they say. “We just can’t talk about anything without it turning into an argument.” Or they identify an issue with conflict resolution. “We never resolve anything. It just gets brushed under the rug and then comes back again a few weeks or months later.”
When things aren’t feeling good in our relationship, there’s often some distance between us and our partner that we’re not able to bridge.
