A short video/monologue (Connor Beaton) arguing that resentment is toxic to intimacy and relationships: it erodes communication, connection, and shared life, and often leads to relationship breakdown or divorce when it becomes entrenched and neither partner seeks repair.
Resentment is toxic for intimacy. It erodes intimacy. Resentment erodes communication. Resentment erodes connection. So in many ways, resentment is the enemy. It's the kryptonite of intimacy and relationship. And for most people, when divorce is on the table, it's because resentment for one or both people has built up to such a degree that it has literally choked the life out of the relationship, out of that third body of the relationship. And this is when you or the other person has zero interest in repairing connection or communication. They have zero interest. You have zero interest in intimacy or quality time or going on adventures with the other person. And basically you're living your own life. And it's likely that the relationship has withered to such a degree where you're both just living two separate, independent lives.
