Maybe I’m oversimplifying things - but I find the greatest conflict in a relationship (husband-wife, MIL-DIL, parent-child) comes from expectations we place on the other person.

Let’s take an example - just because a mother doesn’t say “I love you” doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love her child. A mother shows her love and care in a multitude of other ways. But once we measure the other persons care and affection for us by our standards we set ourselves up to fail. Look for the other persons love and care and affection in how they want to express it and not in how you want to receive it.

I’m not saying that conflicts in relationships do not exist - of course they do. But I’ve noticed that for a lot of people the conflict is more in their head because the other person didn’t meet their expectations of what it means to care about them.

well said :k:
