Why Communication Breaks Down In A Relationship
We use a condescending tone
There can also be a condescending tone. We start to talk to our partners like they are our children. It can be a familiarity breeds contempt thing. You live with your partner so, it’s him who wakes you up by talking too loudly on the phone or it’s him who eats the avocados, not knowing they were meant for the guac you were taking to a BBQ. It can start to feel that, when something goes wrong, he’s the cause of it, and you speak to him accordingly.
