Being hypercritical
If you are extremely aware of not being like your parents, you might project some of that onto your partner, says Andre. “Criticism can also be one of the tactics – faulting your partner for anything they lack in the relationship. If how they express themselves doesn’t fit what you anticipated, and you’re saying, ‘I’m trying not to repeat the same pattern as my parents’ you might criticize your partner. In your attempt at not repeating your parents’ patterns, you don’t see how pushy you can be – how critical you can be of your partner.”
