[00:00:00]Seven facial expressions everyone reads.

[00:00:02]One predicts divorce. Not anger, not frustration. You've seen those and recovered from them. The one that ends relationships doesn't look like a fight.

[00:00:11]It's quieter. And most people miss it because they don't know what baseline looks like. Contempt.

[00:00:18]It's asymmetric.

[00:00:20]One corner of the mouth pulls up and back while the other stays flat.

[00:00:25]Compare it to a wry smile. The wry smile matches that person's resting expression.

[00:00:31]Contempt doesn't. It's not a reaction to what you did. It's a judgment about what you are. That's why it predicts divorce, not conflict. Contempt. One corner off baseline. That micro-expression tells everything.
