The article discusses the concept of 'microbreaks' in relationships, as explained by Instagram creator Abby Eckel. These microbreaks represent small, seemingly insignificant betrayals or disappointments that accumulate over time, leading to a breakdown of trust. Eckel emphasizes that unlike major infidelities, these frequent minor trust issues can severely impact a relationship's foundation. She illustrates how such microbreaks lead to resentments and control issues, particularly highlighting how women respond by taking more control to compensate for eroded trust.
"Microbreaks in trust are what truly erode a relationship. It is very rarely the massive blowups like infidelity that are eroding relationships."
"Every time they say that they'll do something and they don't do it, and you have to eventually follow up: that's a microbreak."
"Women don't become control freaks overnight. We are made to control situations that you have lost our trust in."
