Part 9/11:
Conflicts that go unaddressed breed a background noise of frustration. Men might feel their concerns are insignificant and therefore choose not to voice them, which leads to emotional buildup. Repetitive arguments—over money, parenting, or household matters—without resolution perpetuate a sense of helplessness.
This unresolved tension manifests in various damaging ways: emotional withdrawal, lack of interest in romantic gestures, or outright disengagement. Over time, small irritations accumulate into significant barriers to intimacy, threatening the very foundation of the relationship.
