Contempt is eroding your relationship and you might not even realize it. That eye roll during an argument? The sarcastic comment under your breath? The dismissive wave of your hand? These aren't just harmless reactions. They're symptoms of a deadly relationship poison: contempt.

You're in the middle of an argument with your partner. Your heart's racing, palms sweating. The tension is thick. The argument is escalating and you don't see a way through. What do you do? If you're like many men, you might find yourself shutting down, tuning out, or walking away. This is stonewalling – and it's killing your relationship.

You're defensive. Your partner's defensive. Your relationship is suffering. Defensiveness is the silent killer of relationships. It's the reflex that feels right in the moment but slowly erodes the foundation of your relationship.

You're sabotaging your relationship and you don't even realize it. That tension you feel at home? The walking-on-eggshells sensation? It's not just "how relationships are." It's a symptom of a deeper issue that's slowly eroding the foundation of your connection. The culprit? Criticism.

You're here because your relationship is in trouble. Most men don't seek relationship advice until they're standing at the edge of a cliff, watching their partnership crumble beneath their feet.You're not here because your partner is the problem. You're here because you've finally realized that you might be part of the equation.
