1. The power-imbalanced couple.
No one wants to be the less emotionally invested partner. It’s a true power imbalance, said Kristin Davin, a New York City-based psychologist, and it really doesn’t bode well for your relationship in the long-term.
“If you find that you’re always the one doing the [emotional] heavy lifting, it changes your relationship dynamic,” Davin told HuffPost. “People become resentful. They experience inequality in the relationship and the heavy lifter feels like the relationship is more work than it should be.”
Relationships take effort, care, and intention but at the end of the day, your partnership should add to your life, not feel like part of the daily grind, she said.
