In this episode, we dive into the hard-to-admit but common feeling of "hating" your spouse. What does it really mean when those emotions surface, and where do they come from? We'll explore the dysfunctional communication patterns—like criticism, contempt, and defensiveness—that often fuel resentment and emotional distance in relationships. More importantly, we’ll break down how unmet needs can drive those patterns and offer practical ways to interrupt the cycle, rebuild trust, and reconnect with your partner. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a negative dynamic, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how to shift from conflict to collaboration, and start healing the disconnect.
