2. Turning love into a scoreboard: Keeping track of who did “more” creates silent competition instead of partnership. Relationships usually struggle when every favour becomes a calculation. Not everything needs to be counted to be valued.

3. Disrespect hiding behind jokes or anger: Contempt often shows up through sarcasm, eye-rolls or dismissive behaviour. Even tiny moments of disrespect can build emotional distance over time. Love struggles to survive where one person constantly feels looked down on.

4. Staying quietly angry for too long: Silent resentment grows when hurt feelings are never properly discussed. People may stop arguing openly, but the tension still sits there quietly. Eventually, emotional closeness starts fading without either person fully realising it.

5. Refusing to apologise: Avoiding apologies can make small problems feel much bigger than they are. A sincere “sorry” often matters less for perfection and more for emotional safety. Without accountability, trust slowly becomes harder to rebuild.
