Marital dissatisfaction can also not necessarily be open conflict. It manifests in most instances in a slow way as there are slight changes in behavior that are not noticed by partners. According to relationship psychology research, emotional withdrawal and a shift in communication patterns is often a precursive of a direct discussion on unhappiness. In relationships, some tendencies can be observed when a married man is not happy on the inside. Early detection of such signs will open up room to have a productive conversation instead of letting emotional space between the parties grow.
