Summary
There usually isn't just one big event that ends a relationship. It's an 'eroding' slowly over time. It's the result of frequent behaviors like chronic defensiveness, small criticisms, and not prioritizing them.
We are not even saying that you are necessarily at the place of ending the relationship, and we never want you to be. Hence why we are giving you the 5 behaviors that we see, that you might not notice, that will over time have you be in a place where you say "how did we get here?"
