In reality, resentment is often the result of pride. We build walls within ourselves, convincing ourselves that our point of view is the only valid one. And as soon as our partner does something we perceive as “wrong,” we shut down and start harboring negativity.
But is this really the way to go? In relationships where there is no dialogue, where emotions are hidden behind the mask of pride, love cannot thrive. Instead of finding a compromise or expressing our feelings, we hold onto resentment, hoping our partner will somehow guess what's wrong. But should we really expect others to read our minds?
True communication begins where pride fades and vulnerability comes in. Openness, understanding, and the ability to forgive are what can break down the walls of resentment and bring sincerity back into the relationship. Let’s not let pride destroy what we could preserve with love and attention to each other’s feelings.
