Why do some arguments escalate so quickly—and never seem to resolve? In Part 1 of this three-part series, we break down the hidden psychological dynamics driving high-conflict relationships, and why what you’re arguing about is often not the real issue. We also begin to illustrate these dynamics through a prototypical example, showing how they take shape and repeat in real interactions.
