Every relationship takes trust for it to work fundamentally.
Without trust there is no relationship.
Infidelity isn’t the only thing to erode a relationship. When one partner uses any form of punishment, they undermine trust in the relationship.
Punishment is about power and control because it doesn’t come from a place of love or encouragement.
Punishment causes the punished partner to feel insecure and distant from their partner resulting in the punished partner feeling resentment and criticism towards the punisher.
Punishment creates anxiety and low self worth in the person being punished. This causes them to pull away and close up emotionally or they become angry and enraged.
The punished partner will pull away in their communication and their emotional and physical connection.
The couple become flat mates living together with the punishing partner becoming more critical and resentful.
