People who live together emotionally respond to each other mostly by habit. The human brain conserves conscious attention by associating specific emotions with events and memories.
The most common association in love relationships is disappointment with fear or shame. Vulnerability in these relationships exposes deep personal vulnerabilities tied to fear and shame.
Disappointment is often linked to the fear of isolation, leading to feelings of unlovability. It threatens the sense of connection one feels with their loved ones.
In intimate relationships, disappointment can evoke defensive resentment or anger, creating a cycle that can quickly turn relationships toxic.
