Problems with intimacy exist. Each others' feelings and rights begin to be ignored. Partners are unable to express their feelings to each other. Relating is at an immature or basic level. One partner clings to the other.
Depression becomes evident.
Fun goes out of the relationship. Stubborn and bullheaded behavior is exhibited. Denial of even having problems exists. You are always on guard, vigilant, waiting to be taken advantage of in the relationship. You remain cautious about the way you act, believe, feel, or behave so as not to offend or lose the approval of your partner.
