Lesson 33: Couple/Partner Relationships Pt. 1: Slide 5
Resistance To Change
- This resistance to change has nothing to do with gender
- Men and women are equally likely to protest and say, “Why should I have
to change? It’s all their fault”
- When we fight:
- We think about the person we’re at odds with, in a negative, illogical, and self-defeating way
- We make demands that drive them farther away
