Query: Deflection is a common defense mechanism where a person redirects blame or criticism onto someone or something else. It’s an easy trap to fall into but it’s one that can be very frustrating in a relationship — romantic or otherwise.

I am hoping to hear from some experts who can provide insight into how to recognize and try to prevent the behavior.
