Perhaps the most common conflict in a relationship is between a parter who fears losing the relationship and a partner who fears losing themselves. This is the perennial conflict between partners with a more anxious attachment style and those who have a more avoidant attachment style. In these relationships each partner tends to provoke in the other the behaviour they don't want to see. The anxious partner drives the withdrawal of the avoidant partner and the withdrawal of the avoidant partner, drives the anxious partner's attempts to get closer.

Adult attachment styles are not set in stone and it is possible to change this relational conflict.
