Missed Turn Forensic Timeline

Based on Gottman's "Bids for Connection" research. Analyzes conversations to find where they actually went wrong—often a "missed turn" earlier than the obvious blow-up.

Gottman's Bids for Connection

  • Bid: Any attempt to connect (question, comment, touch)
  • Turning Toward: Positive engagement with bid (86% = lasting)
  • Turning Away: Ignoring/missing bid (33% = divorce)
  • Turning Against: Hostile response to bid

Conflicts often start with a missed bid—NOT the obvious insult.
