There are many instances where relationships fall apart because things get complicated. Misunderstandings between couples are often one of the leading causes that leads to arguments. If both of the partners make an effort to prevent things from getting complicated, their relationship may last for a longer time than others. Here are a few things that make relationships complicated.
Lack of trust
When partners don't trust each other enough, complications are bound to arise. Gaining the trust of your partner is extremely important when it comes to relationships. Breaking the trust that someone has in you is like breaking glass. Whenever a glass breaks, the glass will never be strong again even after all the pieces get rejoined. In the same way, whenever someone's trust in you breaks, it's hard to get it back.
Unwillingness to apologize
There are some people who are adamant not to apologize even after they know they did something wrong. This is a type of behavior that hampers relationships a lot. Your partner would keep having a grudge against you if you did something wrong that affected them and never apologized for it.
Differences in attachment styles
Some people get attached to others quickly and have difficulties staying away from their partners. On the other hand, some people do not get attached to their partners but still love them. When one partner misses the other while the other doesn't, problems between the two of them might arise.
Poor emotional regulation
Emotion regulation refers to a person's ability to effectively manage and respond to an emotional experience. Different people react to trauma differently. Some people do the mistake of putting off the frustration of past trauma on their present partner, and this makes things complicated.
