Married life depends on trust, respect, and giving love to the partner’s emotions, but the repetition of negative behaviors can, in fact, slowly disclose that the characters of the people involved are not really that good. It is true that everyone has their own weaknesses; however, some behaviors go beyond the typical fights that couples have and show that the person doesn’t have empathy or a sense of responsibility. These patterns may flash only for a very short time, but they keep coming back and therefore, they are the main reasons for the emotional pain that stays for a long time. Being able to recognize them gives you the insight that the difference between a temporary problem and a serious one at its core depends on which side the issue belongs to.
Constantly blaming others
It is never her fault, even when the situation is evident to be related to her decisions. This discourages growth and renders it nearly impossible to solve problems honestly.
Refusing to apologize
She does not apologize or make apologies that are artificial and unnatural. This causes resentment and emotional distancing over time.
Manipulating emotions
She can either resort to guilt, tears, silence, or anger in order to have her way. This makes communication controlled and not understandable.
Neglecting personal boundaries
Your privacy, comfort, or boundaries are swept aside at the expense of her desires. Healthy boundaries are not considered as necessities but as inconveniences.
Constant criticism
Everything you do is not good enough for her. The constant disapproval erodes confidence and emotional safety.
Avoiding accountability
Errors are either denied, excused, or attributed to situations. In the absence of accountability, there can never be real change.
Playing a victim repeatedly
She puts herself forward as the victim in nearly every case. This keeps one off the hook and blames others unjustly.
Withholding affection as punishment
Love, warmth, or communication is dragged away to punish you. Love will be a manipulation and not sincere.
Insulting your loved ones
She constantly has negative things to say about your friends or family. In the long run, this isolates and breeds loyalty conflicts.
Rejecting meaningful conversations
Critical issues are evaded, closed, and transformed into conflicts. Issues are not resolved and silently accumulate.
