Couples do poorly at knowing when their partner is sad or feeling down

Couples do poorly at knowing when their partner is sad, lonely or feeling down, finds a new study. Couples do pretty well at picking up one another's more intense feelings, like happiness or anger, but they aren't as sensitive to 'soft negative' emotions. Since spouses are each other's primary source of social support, it's important they stay attuned to each other, said the psychologist who led the study.
