Married After Kids

Ep. 96: The Most Common Fights Anxious/Avoidant Couples Have


Listen Later

If you’re in an anxious avoidant dynamic, you probably know how quickly small moments can turn into big arguments that feel awful for both of you. What most couples do not realize is that these recurring fights are not random at all. They follow a very predictable pattern rooted in your attachment styles, your needs, and the ways you both protect yourselves when things feel vulnerable.


In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common arguments I see anxious avoidant couples have, why they happen, and what is really going on underneath the surface for each partner. These patterns used to show up constantly in my own marriage, and understanding them changed everything. My hope is that this episode gives you clarity, compassion, and a clearer path forward.


In this episode, you’ll hear:


• The most common fights anxious avoidant couples get stuck in

• Why small moments turn into big arguments

• What each partner is really needing in these conflicts

• The hidden patterns driving the tension

• How to begin breaking the cycle together
