Psychologists terms these things as indicators of divorce. Have a look,
Contempt
Contempt, a lethal mix of anger and disgust, is far more toxic than simple frustration or negativity. It involves seeing your partner as beneath you, rather than as an equal.
The reason contempt is so powerful is because it means you’ve closed yourself off to your partner’s needs and emotions.
If you constantly feel smarter than, better than, or more sensitive than your significant other, you’re not only less likely see his or her opinions as valid, but, more important, you’re far less willing to try to put yourself in his or her shoes to try to see a situation from his or her perspective.
Criticism
Like contempt, criticism involves turning a behavior (something your partner did) into a statement about his or her character (the type of person he or she is).
Over time, these personal detractions can add up, feeding darker feelings of resentment and contempt.
Defensiveness
If you find yourself regularly playing the victim in tough situations with your partner, you might be guilty of being defensive.
Taking responsibility for your role in a tough situation can be uncomfortable, but it’s often what keeps a bad situation from escalating.
Avoidance
Blocking off conversation can be just as toxic for a relationship as contempt because it keeps you from addressing an underlying issue.
