I’ll one-up you and say that relationship problems are mostly caused by communication failure.

To me, life alignment is at the heart of long-term relationship problem because people change over time and sometimes even when you have self-love and communicate, yoru life goals are not aligned.

I highly recommend reading THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES by Gary Chapman. It is the best relationship book I’ve ever read. The self-abandonment is issue is not the biggest issue. That is for the shrinks to make money off of.
When we feel loved, we tend to want to recipricate it back. We must learn that everyone does not feel loved the same way. This book addresses the 5 major love languages.
It works VERY quickly if both people are working on it but will even work if only one is, just takes longer.
