Loss of authenticity: Feeling unable to be oneself in the relationship.

Emotional fatigue: Chronic stress from managing peace at the cost of personal well-being.

Power imbalance: One partner holds more emotional control or influence, creating inequality.

Resentment build-up: Unspoken frustrations may accumulate, leading to emotional distance or explosive arguments.
