The relationship is the place where we should get pleasure and energy, but unfortunately many find that their relationship does just the opposite. Namely, IT drains and stresses them unnecessarily.
Often there are lots of signs, that we do not thrive optimally in our relationship - but it can be difficult to see them, either because we are stuck in everyday hamster wheels and do not have the power to take the bull by the horns or because the cohabitation has become a habit We are not considering questioning.
Some of the signs may be that you are not looking forward to coming home, feeling drained of energy when you are with your partner and that your days are starting and ending with conflicts and perhaps even quarrels.
The more hidden signs may be that you are not communicating about how you are feeling - or maybe even misunderstand each other, when you talk together - and not talking directly to each other. Prioritizing the children over the partner is also a distortion of the relationship.
It is you as a couple who are to receive family life - and if you are not happy together, there is a great risk that your children will not thrive. Even if they get a lot of love from one parent. The last, and perhaps most common, sign is that the presence and intimacy are either downward or completely gone. A quite natural reaction to not being seen, heard and understood by your partner.

Good advice for better communication in the relationship:
Eternal discussions and quarrels are a symptom of "something" not being clarified between the two of you. You both have a responsibility that your disagreements do not run out of track and become degrading quarrels. Therefore, present these advice on communication for your partner one day, where the mood between you is good and have a good and reasonable talk about the rules of a discussion. If your partner has a problem then you also automatically have one - because you are a team. Talk about your values - live by the same values, respect your differences.
Talk about how you feel and what you want / miss - reproach does not help. Listen to your partner's words with real empathy and interest - get in her / his shoes. Avoid taking your partner's words as criticism - listen instead to what the message is.
When you feel attacked / criticized - your old brain / reptile brain reacts instinctively. It is therefore quite normal that you want to defend yourself / fight - or lose measure / freeze or you leave in the middle of the discussion / flight.
Practice getting better at saying if your partner exceeds your limits.
If you can't control your anger, tell your partner that you need a break. Agree when to meet again and to talk further. Remember! It is your own responsibility to make your partner aware of your needs - no one can read your thoughts. Common values are important to your communication. Better communication can prevent many quarrels in the relationship. Common goals and common values helps to nurture you as a couple. It simply doesn't matter if one party want financial freedom with a cheap country house, time to grow organic vegetables, and pick up the kids early from the institution - if the other dreams of a good career, long working days, an apartment in the city. If you do not live up to your values, you become unconscious at an unconscious level - and this dissatisfaction translates into quarrels. Be true to yourself and be honest with your partner.
