Why Do Relationships Fail?
There are several reasons that relationships fail, and they are usually related to one of these 4 underlying conditions:
Re-triggering of emotional trauma without repair.
Lack of skills to create the kind of teamwork needed for a relationship with so many interdependencies.
Lack of role models or emotional support for new behavior.
One or both partners are emotionally underdeveloped – or they may be unable to be accountable.
