"We can be blind to the obvious, and we are also blind to our blindness." –Daniel Kahneman. Cognitive dissonance, a psychological phenomenon first identified by Leon Festinger in 1957, refers to the discomfort we experience when we hold two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes simultaneously.

In the realm of romantic relationships, cognitive dissonance can play a particularly insidious role, affecting communication, trust, conflict resolution, and overall relationship satisfaction.
