Starting a second marriage or a new relationship is exciting, but the past can sometimes intrude in the form of a difficult ex. Whether it’s unpredictable behavior or unwillingness to let go, challenging ex-partners can strain your new relationship.
When you get married, you're not just marrying your partner, you’re also blending into a new family, and sometimes that comes with tension. From unsolicited advice to boundary-crossing, in-laws can unintentionally strain a relationship. Research shows that conflicts with in-laws can predict marital dissatisfaction.

You are absolutely correct! I’m also certified Gottman therapist and I’m so sorry that the message was somehow communicated that contempt is ever healthy because it certainly isn’t! 100% agree and thanks for the feedback!
While it's natural to want agreement on key values, there’s also a lot of room for healthy differences in a relationship. After all, we wouldn’t have fallen in love with someone exactly like ourselves-that would likely be boring!

My ex bf always said “ We are the same person.” Because we had a lot in common and came from terrible childhoods both anxious etc But we’re not the same person, I didn’t want to be like him because I didn’t like his personality I think he was looking for connection
If you find yourself frustrated by your partner’s differences, don’t let resentment build. Therapy, whether individually or as a couple, provides a space to address these challenges, improve communication, and foster appreciation for what each partner brings to the relationship.
Sign up now for our upcoming Gottman Method Couples Workshop on Saturday, September 7th! Don’t miss this chance to strengthen your relationship with research-backed strategies and practical skills.

Thank you so much for this video! Really helped me (ADHD) and my Ex (no ADHD) understand where we went all wrong. Especially the part about the feelings of shame went a long way in helping her get why I retreated so much after our arguments. Again, thank you so so much🙏🏼
