Sometimes the communication within the relationship has become difficult or negative or the behavior of one or both parties seems unreasonable to the other, such as putting very little time into a relationship, excessive working or socializing, drinking, gambling or affairs. The parties may be experiencing a lot of rows, conflict, resentment, boredom,or feeling misunderstood and may feel like they are living quite separate lives. Sexual difficulties may have arisen in the relationship and the couple may have infrequent or no sex. Many relationships can reach a stage where one or both partners find it difficult to maintain communication and difficulties arise such as arguments or ignoring each other. The relationship may no longer be providing what they are looking for and one or both partners may now wonder what can help improve the situation.
