10 signs of trouble in your relationship:
1. Blaming partner for all the problems.
2. Giving into partner, but with resentment.
3. Using the 'silent treatment' to get your way.
4. Complaining rather than asking or negotiating.
5. Psychoanalyzing your partner.
6. Offering unsolicited 'constructive criticism.'
7. Failing to give partner the benefit of the doubt.
8. Being contemptuous, insulting, or demeaning of your partner.
9. Withholding affection and sex out of resentment.
10. Trying to communicate when you're upset or angry.

Don't wait until it's too late; call now for an appointment.
Research shows that once the behaviors above become entrenched the relationship could be in jeopardy. It is important to address difficulties early, before resentments are hardened and before avoidance or damaging hostilities have become habitual. Sometimes, conflict is less damaging to marriages than not talking about things that need to be discussed. The more discouraged you feel over a long period of time, the less likely you can reconnect with your partner and work toward having the relationship you want.
