Relationship Dysmorphia

A condition where someone becomes hyper-focused on minor flaws or negative aspects of their romantic relationship, causing them to lose sight of the overall beauty, strength, and positivity of the connection. This distorted perspective often leads to unnecessary dissatisfaction, conflict, or even a breakup. The most effective remedy is cultivating gratitude and consciously appreciating the positive elements of the partnership.

"They were genuinely happy together, but relationship dysmorphia set in, and suddenly all they saw were problems rather than the deep love they shared."
