Unrealistic Expectations & Festering Resentments
The former, according to Dr. Cooper, can involve differences over gender roles, i.e., who does what regarding tasking activities and decision-making. "Couples may reduce conflicts," she writes, "by taking an equal-opportunity approach, by determining who is most qualified to do each task." Unspoken resentments can grow out of, among other things, what Cooper terms "The Three A's"--addiction (be it to drugs, alcohol, or TV), affairs, and abuse. Cooper points out that such dysfunctions can be alleviated by various means including: identifying the problem, learning how to handle emotions, and clinical therapy.
