Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to predict being abused in close relationship based on communicational patterns and fear of intimacy in married women. The method of this research is descriptive-correlational. Methods: This study was a correlation study, in which 300 married women in Tehran were selected through convenience sampling and they completed the Communication Patterns Questionnaire – short form (CPQ- SF) (Christense & Heavy, 1990), Fear of intimacy scale (Descatner & Thelen, 1991), and the Spouse abuse questionnaire (Gahary, Atefvahid & Yoosefy, 2006). The data was analyzed using Pearson correlation and regression. Findings: Study showed that there was a significant positive relation between female demands, male withdrawal, and being abused (r=%236; P≤000). Also there was a significant positive relation between male demanding, female withdraws (r=%324; P≤0/01), female demand, male withdraw (r=%131; P≤0/05), positive interaction pattern (r=%214; P≤0/01), withdraw with fear of intimacy. Positive interaction pattern (r=%194; P≤0/001) and female demand, male withdraw pattern (r=%236; P≤000) predicted being abused. Findings: As a result, it can be said that the communication pattern of female demand, male withdraw and positive interaction pattern of a couple's relationship can create a challenge that causes spousal abuse.

Abstract
Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of predicting suicidal ideation based on self-worth, fear of intimacy and covert communication aggression in women who have experienced marital infidelity.Method: This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design, focusing on the correlation between variables. The target population consisted of married women who had experienced marital infidelity by their spouses and attended counseling and psychotherapeutic centers in Tehran during the year 1402. Using purposeful sampling, a total of 150 participants were selected. Results: The results showed that there is a negative and significant correlation between the feeling of self-worth (r=-0.47 and P<0.005) and its components with suicidal ideation in women who have experienced marital infidelity. This relationship was positive and significant between fear of intimacy (r=0.21 and P<0.008) and covert communicative aggression (r=0.40 and P<0.002) with suicidal ideation in women, respectively. Also, the regression analysis showed that the highest and lowest ability to explain suicidal ideation in women is related to the component of emotional withdrawal (β=0.42) and the components of piety/piousness (β=0.09). β) and ruining the social image (β=0.09).
