Many people deny their partner's importance by remaining unaffected by and uninterested in their partner's activities or feelings. For example, when we're excited over a project we're working on, is our bubbly enthusiasm met with a cool response or shared enthusiasm? When we're feeling frightened or distressed over something in our lives, do our partners talk about what is upsetting us or just tune us out?
Most of us hide our hurt, fear or disappointment when our partner has done something that upsets us; we have learned not to let others see they have the power to hurt us.
If our partner is not affected by us, we will probably conclude that we are unimportant.
