Eight common things can lead to divorce if partners are not careful. A marriage will be unhappy if a couple constantly makes mistakes.

Pascal Aline Bertoli, a psychotherapist and coach, has researched 8 common things that can destroy your relationship if you don't take action in time.

1. Pursuit and retreat

One partner demands attention, and the other withdraws. This pattern does not work. Healthy relationships are based on being responsive to your partner's needs and desires. This does not mean that you should drop everything when he calls you, but it is important to recognize his need.

2. The prevalence of negative aspects

A successful relationship has a balance of 5 positive moments to 1 negative. This does not mean that negative moments are unacceptable. It's important to learn from them, rekindle romance, and develop conflict resolution skills. However, if there is more negativity, this is a warning sign.

3. Escalation of conflicts

During arguments, partners may criticize, become silent, defensive, or dismissive. This leads to escalation and distancing. It is important not to react emotionally but to try to solve the problem constructively.

4. Lack of positive emotions

If you have neither positive nor negative emotions, this does not indicate a healthy relationship. A lack of humor, affection, support, and compassion destroys the emotional connection.

5. Neglecting painful moments

It is impossible to avoid emotional trauma in a relationship. It is important not to ignore them but to find time to calmly discuss and repair the damage.

6. Negative perception

If you perceive your partner's neutral actions as negative, this can lead to serious problems. It is important not to attribute negative intentions to them and to see their positive qualities.

7. Chronic anxiety

If one of the partners is constantly experiencing anxiety, it can negatively affect communication. It is important to learn to cope with anxiety so that it does not interfere with problem-solving.

8. Inability to accept influence

Men often ignore women's complaints, which can lead to emotional distancing. It's important to be able to listen and understand your partner rather than deny their feelings.
