Summary

If your relationship feels harder than you expected, it may not be a sign that something is wrong. It may be a sign that something unresolved is surfacing. As attachment deepens, the nervous system stops seeing your partner as a stranger and begins linking them to early family experiences. Wounding from childhood comes alive in the present, and couples often mistake this activation for incompatibility.
