When couples fight about environmental values but it's really about something deeper

My partner and I have been trying to live more sustainably for years but we keep having the same fight about what's actually possible versus what's performative and I'm starting to wonder if we're just using environmental values to avoid talking about deeper things we disagree on. Every conversation about composting or flying to see family becomes this referendum on who cares more and it's exhausting.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The environmental choices have become a proxy war for unspoken tensions about values, control, and moral identity within the relationship.
