What is the meaning of Contempt?

Contempt is the silent killer of relationships. It’s not the fights, not the distance it’s the moments of superiority, dismissal, and unspoken disdain that chip away at trust and intimacy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells, bracing for the sigh, the smirk, the sarcastic jab you know the ache of contempt. But here’s the hope: contempt is not the end. It’s a flashing red light telling you something has been left unrepaired for too long. Healing starts not with “fighting better”
