    He is referring to research conducted by the Gottman Institute, for anyone who is interested. It is the gold standard in terms of predicting relationship success. Gottman also identifies the 4 horseman of relationship destruction: contempt, stonewalling, defensiveness, and crticism.

      @@a.r.8987 There are several books I have read by Dr. Gottman and I recommend them to everyone. The first must read book is called “Why marriages succeed or fail.” It changed the way I look at relationships and helped me understand my partners better. Other books include “Seven principles for making marriage work,” “What makes love last,” and “Eight dates.” Other books that I found helpful by other authors are “His needs her needs,” “If you’re in my office, it’s already too late,” “6 husbands every wife should have.”

    I've been married almost 13 years now. The thing I think most younger people don't understand is that your not supposed to be happy all the time. It's impossible. There is no relationship that is 100% good all the time. For some reason people younger than me, and even my age really, think that if your not happy all the time then the relationship is over. I lived through 3 divorces total between my parents and I know what that does to people. I don't want that!

      How can you do this when the other person gets so defensive to feedback? My husband and I used to vibe well, but now I feel he’s plucked me in a category of his past and references “ohhh this is what women say, I’ve heard this before” he can be very dismissive and it’s very hurtful and triggers me badly. Then I can’t get any other feedback or word in edgewise and he is now playing tit-for-tat which he never used to do before. I feel like I’m married to a toddler sometimes. What happened to the grown, sexy, protector man I once had? Now I feel like “the rest of them”, unworthy and scared to show emotion. Please, any tips and perspective from a man is helpful.

      I think you should bring it up to him, but in a respectful manner. And if he doesn't like it or get angry, maybe it is time to call it quits.
      I'm 17. My help may not be much but it's what I would do. If he won't respect and love you then you should be with someone who does. If you aren't protected, then you should find someone who does protect you.

    Let’s not forget that contempt can start for good reasons. Some people get into relationships with the mentality of a child and fake it until you marry them. Then the narcissist starts showing itself and no matter what you say or do there’s nothing that will stop them. They do whatever they want and truly don’t care how it affects you. All the counselling in the world won’t change them. I’ve been there.

    Trust, Communication, Honesty. The three hallmarks of a successful relationship. My parents were married 36-years before my Mom died of cancer. They only argued once in 36-years, even though my Dad would argue with a wall to make himself feel better. Their marriage was built upon a Godly foundation, they discussed every financial decision, wrote a list of pros and cons, and made a decision as a unified front. If one of them was uncomfortable with spending that kind of money, the issue was tabled and they would save until both were comfortable. Even when it came to us kids, they were a unified front. They functioned as two halves of a whole. Never once did they spend a second in front of a marital counselor. They didn't need one. Trust, Communication, Honesty. Both of them have passed on, but their example is a splendid one.

      @nancylpr sorry to hear this. If you're still into saving your marriage then setting boundaries in a healthy way is key, and have you thought about how you communicate to him what is perceived as negative? Are there habits that have crept in that mean that what you perceive as opinion lands with him as criticism? There can be no judgments if the goal is to rebuild. If you work on yourself and lead the changes the more likely he'll follow you This is what I call a toxic marriage communication loop - it can be broken but needs work and a plan of action.Hope this helps :-)

    What is really considered a “negative” interaction? Cause my husband and I never fight anymore. We used to argue in the early years of our marriage but as we’ve been married longer, we just don’t really fight about anything anymore. We can give each other healthy criticism but I don’t consider that a negative interaction. We may get annoyed with little things and pick on each other for it but it’s usually more jokingly and we try not to do things we know annoy each other. Or like I’ll say, “Hey it drives me nuts when you do this so try not to do that please.” And hell usually say, sorry, I’ll try to do that in the future, etc. Again, it doesn’t feel really negative. So are we in trouble because I don’t think that’s negative or are those considered negative interactions? Because when I think negative, I think of something that’s a fight or someone yelling at the other.

      (I know i may be a little off topic, but you reminded me of something that isnt really talked about.)This is a very big issue with so many aspects of life. The bias that people think can't possibly happen to a "professional." The type of treatment you receive if a doctor thinks you're a junky. Teachers not bothering to work with certain students or going as far as robbing them of their education by jumping at every opportunity to send them out, or refusing to give them more time or a second chance on assignments. Going above and beyond for other students, allowing them to get away with bad behavior because they like them for whatever reason. One good example of the negatives of bias would be those nightmare 911 calls where dispatch would be annoyed or easily offended by a panicked person who is dealing with an emergency. And they failed to or out right refused to send help.

    • @katalinacastanares4602
      @katalinacastanares4602 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There are a lot of dumb, or just outright horrible therapists/councelors/psychiatrists. Many who fail to see thru manipulative behavior and forming a bias. There are so many cases where marriages were destroyed by therapists when their relationship was otherwise very salvageable. I have an experience with one that wasn't about my relationship with my husband, but an unrelated personal issue. Anyway, I once made the mistake by bringing up an issue I had involving him, just one. I complained about how I had bought my boys a pool, and while I was at work, my husband was supposed to be taking them swimming since they have been cooped up inside for a month straight. Anyway, I came home and found the boys sitting on the couch playing, while my husband had a friend over playing video games and they apparently were on the video games all day long and lost track of time. I was annoyed, but I understood it was a mistake and it's easy to lose track of time. The frustration was just from my own sadness of havinf to leave my boys.Well, after that she was so determined to explain in many ways how I am caring for a man child and long story short, (kinda) she was basically trying to get me to see there was problems in my relationship with him and pointing things out that I didn't see, (because they were nonexistent) i very politely asked if we could focus on my original problem that i was there for.Then out of the blue, just 4 days later I get a call to rush home to meet with child protective services over an allegation of child neglect and abuse against my husband. Of course it was all nonsense, and my children's teachers even volunteered to advocate for him and how they thought he was a great father. The investor chuckled when we gave her the actual story, and apologized we had to be put thru the humiliation of having cps. I called the therapist and politely asked what about the incident I told her about warranted a call to cps. She told me in a very snooty way "I am a mandatory reporter" and went on talking over me trying to explain what that was. I already knew, because, I too was a mandatory reporter, along with nearly everyone else. Its as if she was special for it. Lol Anyway, she just had this very stuck up personality the entire time, and I was wanting to get a new therapist for some time. This incident was the last straw for me.
