When partners have opposite family relationship models
“My husband and I come from completely different family models - his parents divorced when he was young and mine stayed together through everything - and we keep misreading each other's responses to relationship stress. When we hit rough patches, he assumes we need space to figure things out and I assume we need to work harder together, and both of us feel like the other person doesn't care enough.”
The deeper question
You're each applying the lessons of your childhood without recognizing how different those lessons were.
