When it comes to relationships, certain behaviors can create physical and emotional distance between couples. If not addressed at the earliest, these can create conflicts, hindering intimacy.
Failure to express thoughts, feelings and insecurities with your partner can create misunderstandings and conflicts. Hence, open and honest communication is very important.
Lack of communication
During conflicts, avoiding discussion or ignoring the issue can be the breeding ground for confusion and mistrust. Also, keeping scores from past fights can make your partner feel disrespected.
Unresolved conflict
Being overly possessive due to feelings of insecurity can suffocate a relationship. Mutual trust is crucial for any partnership to be sustainable.
Insecurity and jealousy
Prioritizing work, interrupting important discussions or showing disinterest can get in the way of a deep emotional connection. Paying undivided attention makes your partner feel valued.
Emotional unavailability
Controlling your partner's thoughts, feelings or actions is a kryptonite to intimacy. A healthy relationship is built on mutual respect, where both partners feel free to express themselves.
