Holding The Relationship Hostage
It's when one person has a simple criticism or complaint and blackmails the other person by threatening the commitment of the relationship as a whole.

Remember that two partners who are capable of communicating feedback and criticism without judgment or blackmail will strengthen their commitment to one another in the long-run.
