We use an accusatory tone

It happens to so many couples: you start using an accusatory tone for some reason. When your partner does something that bothers you, like forgets to empty the dishwasher, or doesn’t make the bed – whatever it is – you assume he did it to bother you. Or you assume he did it purposefully out of disrespect. Immediately, you take on that tone, condemning him. And nobody wants to talk to somebody who speaks to them with that tone. So he shuts down.
