According to a study by psychologists Daks and Rogge from the University of Rochester, psychological inflexibility is a major cause of relationship failure. Psychologically inflexible people not only experience more distress and suffering, but they also experience less satisfaction in their relationships. They are less satisfied with their sex life and show less emotional support towards their partner. Naturally, their partner doesn’t get much satisfaction from the relationship either. Psychologically inflexible people are more likely to act in destructive and abusive ways – from yelling, insulting, pushing, slapping, and abusing their partner. The end result will be a feeling of insecurity in the relationship and the need to distance themselves. So it's obvious that expectations are blurred due to the lack of honest communication which involves being a good listener and mutual respect.
