Dean Graziosi argues that treating your partner unconditionally, without keeping score, forces a shift: they either mirror the behavior or get curious about what changed. This breaks the resentment cycle and opens real conversation about reconnecting.

What if you just treated your significant other the way you want to be treated? Unconditionally. Even if you're frustrated right now, even if you know they haven't been doing the right thing, what if you just did it? Because there's this weird thing that happens when you do that. The other person can't help but to see it, and they either mirror you or they go, what the hell is up? Either way, it starts the communication, and you can say, we've been keeping score for too long. We've probably built some subtle resentment. I'm done with it. Let's get aligned. Let's get connected. Let's crush the resentment. We're going our aligned mission. However it works for you, connection's worth it.
