Why is my husband so mean to me?

A partner who is consistently critical, dismissive, contemptuous, or cold is exhibiting behavior that erodes a relationship's foundation. Dr. John Gottman identifies contempt as the single strongest predictor of relationship breakdown. His meanness may stem from his own pain or emotional immaturity — but the impact on you is real regardless of his motivations. You deserve to be treated with respect. Lovon provides a private, supportive space to process how this dynamic makes you feel and explore your options.
