Can you love but not like your partner for a while? Clinical psychologist Dr. Laurie Betito helps you tell ordinary irritation from a feeling that deserves closer attention. What changes when “that annoyed me” becomes “I don’t enjoy being with you”?

In a long relationship, attachment, commitment, friendship and enjoyment do not always feel equally strong. An unresolved household frustration can build resentment, while an occasional bad day may pass. Dr. Laurie names the shift that should make a couple pause and take stock.

The answer may also require looking inward. Stress can leave you less patient with someone whose habits have not changed. What do you still enjoy together, what has pulled you apart, and would you choose this relationship today?

Topics: long-term relationships, resentment, friendship, stress, couples communication
