Proverbs and Sayings - Familiarity Breeds Contempt


Meaning : We tend to lose respect for, appreciation of, or interest in someone we have known for a long time

Amy: I fail to understand why some couples are constantly fighting. Aren’t relationships all about compromise?

Ben: Well, it’s like the saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt. This is why some couples opt (= choose) to spend some time apart from each other every now and then.
