[quote=Anonymous]I recently saw this Washington Post article about projective identification: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/02/13/projection-relationships-conflict-management/ The gist of the article is that a source of conflict between couples comes from one person projecting their insecurities/issues on their partner, and then the partner starts to think that they do in fact have that insecurity/issue, but it's all a misunderstanding. Both sides can fall into the cycle and the the thing that the person fears winds up happening. Is this a real thing? Has anyone experienced this? The examples they give in the article get me a bit turned around. Anyone have first hand experience besides the one partner feeling like the second partner is cheating on them?[/quote]
