Psychology of Relationships

Research on attachment and conflict applied to real relationships

Substack Relationships Weekly Updated Oct 2026

About

Psychology of Relationships works through the research literature on attachment, conflict, and intimacy and turns it into essays that explain why couples get stuck in the same arguments or struggle to feel secure with each other. It leans on studies rather than personal anecdotes from the writer.

Issues are structured almost like a condensed psych course: a concept gets introduced, attachment style, the Gottman "four horsemen," differentiation, then applied to the kind of relationship friction most people recognize from their own lives. It suits readers who like understanding the mechanism before trying to fix the symptom.
