Three hidden dimensions under relationship fights

Identifying the hidden dimension under the relationship fight can affect how we fight and how we move forward.

• Power and control fights: "You undermine me with the kids."/ "Because I make less money, I feel like I have to check with you before I buy anything."
• Care and closeness fights: "Why am I always the one to text or call you? "Why can't you support me when I'm anxious?"
• Respect and recognition fights: "You never acknowledge my accomplishments."/"I don't think you realize how much I do."
