Why Communication Breaks Down In A Relationship
Manipulation breaks down the trust
Once the manipulation starts, the trust breaks down. What your partner did (or didn’t do) was an accident. It was an annoying one that he kept repeating, but an accident nonetheless. What you did in retaliation was done on purpose. In other words, it was done with contempt. You just wanted to get results, but what your partner sees is somebody who wanted to upset him. How can he trust that person? Why would he open up to that person?
