Quarrels about dirty dishes: how to identify the real cause of the conflict Family psychologist Anna Antontes noted that in relationships it is important to be able to understand your feelings and understand the real causes of irritation, which are often hidden under everyday trifles. "People don't always follow what specifically affects them. The trigger can be unwashed dishes, and there will be resentment inside - "he doesn't appreciate me". Ask yourself honestly what is happening to you at that moment. "Why do dishes, dirty floors, unbought bread or uncollected trash bother you," she advised. Antontes added that such thoughts rarely arise in relationships where a person is sure that he is loved and appreciated, and such triggers may indicate larger problems in the couple.
