1) im always ready to apologzie whenever i physically or mentally hurt my partner but not only is she never able to forgive me she has declared she wont and she wants to blame me for something i feel is two different perspectives to start with that im willing to accomodate her on. and not only that but just simple daily tings that she never feels shes wrong even if its like keeping a simple promise like opening the door for the repairman
2) i think i have lost a certain sign of me by depending on my gf, but i want to be with my gf otherwise thats not the relationship i want. she doesnt allow me to share my concerns with others otherwise shes mad and she doesnt like when i make friends outside anway. which im ok with but just feels so lonely when she also walks out when im down
3) i keep communicating, i try to give her her wants and needs, but then she brings up something from 2 years ago and starts arguing about it again. and says because of this u are not good enough.
4) i have to admit i have high standards but i am also very liberal, i dont ask for anything i cant do, and even my asks are just to do better. to do some of the housework, to help out here and there. is that asking for too much? if she asked for a backscratch i give it to her immediately. if she asks for which route to take which bus to take i search for it immediately. i could ask for a quick massage on the escalator and she would tell me maybe at home and then it never happens. its not like im ordering her to do stuff that i dont already do. i just cant being doing all the housework. i cant be going to the bank to get money for our vacation, while also opening the door for the repairman. or just doing everything. im collapsing. im ending my position here, looking for a new job. paying the mortgage and utilities. ive got so many stressors. supporting her emotionally and lending money while she is job hunting after not competling her training. while disappointed also supportive. wenever she works i go say hi. from a distance. not to disturb her. just to show my support. becasue i just love supporting her. but then she turns around and says i dont appreciate her and am too picky. but im working so so so hard. i ignore my own health. i know how many times so many times i should just go and exercise instead. but then i know she is sad when i am not around. she starts to ask if i still love her. then i cant bear her being sad. so i forsake my exercise. and visit her. but none of these counts. she never counts all the time im around. and when shes sad when im not around it put salot of pressure on me because i cant bear to see her unhappy. i dont know. its all my fault i guess. i just cant do enough.

These are very familiar to me. I'd say my last relationship had ALL of these to some degree and we were very close to marriage. There was a lot of unclear communication and codependency on my end with micromanaging on theirs.
It unironically really showed in our childhoods-- I was the best friend and later parent to one of my parents as a child (the other one neglected me entirely). and I might have ADHD (jury's still out. Meanwhile, they were heavily bullied by their eldest sibling and had very neglectful, yet expectant parents.
As such, they developed severe OCD and needed everything (even conversations) to be done a very specific way. They were constantly afraid of being used and mistreated, while I was fawning to the Nth degree and was always terrified about making mistakes (and being abandoned for it). even though they never threatened me with it. I didn't know how to communicate in a healthy way and was driven to tears almost every time they sat me down to talk (aka tell me exactly what I did wrong and how they felt about it with a scary level of calm. The crying made it even worse because they started wondering if I was crying to manipulate them (told me so. During the worst of it, these talks happened on a weekly basis. Some couple's therapy later, it gradually got better (I stopped crying and started trying to not feel during the talks because collecting information was more important in those moments) but I was still missing the point entirely and improved at the speed of a dehydrated snail. Somehow, that relationship went on for 3 years before they finally had enough and dumped me. Why? We were torturing each other, plain and simple. and I sadly agree with that.
As much as I miss that relationship (they were very loving and supportive outside the talks and we are now becoming tentative friends, I know there were a lot of things wrong with it and it is for the best that we split. Sometimes I wonder if we could try again after we both had the chance to improve (something I am working on and have made progress on, but I am consistently reminding myself that I think that way because that was the longest, most serious relationship I've ever been in. and have been single ever since and am lonely af (and shouldn't be in a relationship because healing+lonely af. I miss the familiarity and presence of another person, not the specific person.
I know this is a lot, but I really needed to get this out there. I'm still heavily healing (1 year, baby) and I need to remind myself of the bad so I don't hyperfocus on the good. Is there a better way to cope? Definitely, but this works for now until I can find something better-- as I said, I'm working on it.

I love my partner and we have always said we want to have a future together, we have fun and he is amazing when we spend time together however every time I go back to school (we have a distance relationship and we only meet on the weekends) he becomes distant and rarely answer me or read my messages even when I really need him, he only calls late at night. Right now he is in between work so he have a lot of free time I would still want a daily update however it feels like he just ignores all my question and when I want to talk about something he doesn't give input and it feels like he isn't listening. I know he wouldn't cheat on me but I'm still insecure that he doesn't love me because if he did then I feel like he would want to talk to me more often. I have really tried talking to him about how I feel lonely when our communication is off but he really isn't responding to it and I feel like he prioritize everything but me. I don't know what to do I really want our relationship to work. Anyone having any ideas?

With apologies, it is hard for me to Apologize to anyone, and it is not because of feeling to proud or not wanting to, but because I feel like my apologies, even if I pour my heart out, feels like nothing, and it stems from childhood abuse from parents. Verbal and Mental abuse from the parents where apologies mean nothing, just so they feel in power. They deny your apology just to bolster their own 'righteousness'. Telling themselves that because you didn't apologize hard enough, they have the right to be angry at you, or simply act like you are incompetent at anything you do.
I hate these kind of parents, as I grew up with these kind of parents. Other than lack of self-esteem, lack of self-worth, it also induces depression, and thoughts of suicide.
You know parents are bad at parenting when a 7 year old has thoughts of suicide because of them and from other things such as bullying without the parents helping, at all. I don't wish that upon anyone.

reply

1: if you cannot apologize when you are clearly in the wrong, you have no business being in a relationship because you are, emotionally, a child.
2: if you cannot be happy in and with and by yourself, you are not looking for a relationship. You are seeking a parent/nanny/nurse/maid.
3: If you cannot communicate clearly what you desire, the behavior you seek or wish to stop, you are again an emotional child. You do not deserve to be with another person but would be better served alone. Only you can read your mind.
4: if you are so petty, small minded and insecure as to need to control the time, company, activities and choices of another person you have no business being in a relationship. People are not toys or pets; they have their own desires.
Most of this stuff is the behavior of someone suffering from Perpetual Childhood. Their parents did them a terrible disservice.

It may be difficult and/or uncomfortable to admit we're making a hurtful choice. there are those that, for a variety of reasons/causes, consistently choose a path/reaction that is hurtful/damaging to their SO. This doesn't make them a bad person, but it likely means the relationship isn't sustainable. And if the regularity of these detrimental choices is brought up, and the habit/mindset isn't resolved, then the relationship is certainly unsustainable. I've been this person, and the frequent detrimental choice was sparing my SO hurtful/difficult truths. even when they insisted they were strong enough to handle it, their actions when I did communicate candidly set a precident that they couldn't. Dealing with their openly hurt feelings, long silences, and rebuttals, was not worth the risk for me. So I kept sabotaging us by holding back from them. Unsustainable.

C-PTSD ( Childhood trauma) Really can hamper a person, bad parents or just parents who didnt know how to be a parent can be the cause of all this unprocessed need for needing longer with a caregiver or seeking a caregiver. Your lover/Soulmate isn't that, they are their own being and you in turn look after one another when the rain falls, it has to remain equal give and take and not one take more than the other. What is crippling me is my C-PTSD and the limerence attached to this, unprocessed resentments that are ugly and unhealthy and unhappy. But knowing they are there and getting help for this can over time cure a person's souls and make one desirable again for a healthy connection. We will only attract toxic people when unhealed and not seeking the proper help. You all are deserving of love and healing peace.

Ive gone through a few relationships and a thing I learned is to love you also need to learn how to love yourself! I apologised so much everyday for every little thing I did because I was scared my partner was always needing it. Yes it was probably an effect of certain childhood experiences but after the relationship ended and I took time to listen to myself I realised this. In the relationship I was in a dark place, I fell and emotionally depended on my partner. Not giving them enough room either.
Please, do not be afraid to work on yourself and see professionals! Of course opening yourself up and telling your partner these things is a great idea, communication is a strong tool for a healthy relationship, but make sure you give them room too!

The second one is really true for me. I've always felt this feeling of worthlessness whenever I'm not with my partner. Ever since I got into a relationship too, I slowly stopped talking to all of my friends and replying to their texts. Whenever I'm not with my partner, I feel anxiety so intense that I sometimes get panic attacks or auditory hallucinations. Im constantly scared that I might do something to make my partner leave me so I constantly apologize for every thing. and I feel that it only brings us both down when I apologize for everything. I'm unnecessarily clingy and I would sacrifice anything and everything for them. This video really opened my eyes but I don't know what to do to be better, idk what to do to fix this.

Tried asking her why we barely talked and never hanged out together, she repeted that her schedule with the restrictions she had from her parents were the problem, After a few weeks of this, of me keeping asking if There's a problem with me, i confronted her that it couldn't keep going like that, wheither it was her fault or not, it just couldn't. Well turned out she lied everydingle Time i tried to Ask if there was anything wrong, and than got mad at me for being instant with seeing eachother (again she had told me like 5 or 6 Times that, yes, she really wanted to hang out with me)
I told her how fcking dumb and Unkind of her it was to not be honest with me about her true feelings and we stopped talking

reply

Stopping micromanaging is hard.
My GF leaves things everywhere, she leaves her dishes and rubbish in the kitchen area too. I'm flatting with 3 other people and i don't think its fair to them that my GF leaves a mess, so I'm constantly having to tell her to please clean up after your self.
When she cooks, shes burns things or misses key ingredients. Am i supposed to just stfu and put on a smile?
When she does do the dishes, food is still stuck on the plate. What am i supposed to do? re-do the dishes silently?
Often these relationship/psychology videos leaves me feeling like I'm the abuser for setting boundaries and standards which i feel to be reasonable.

My boyfriend doesn't like my Mexican food. He would breath heavily & say he doesn't like too many carbs & fats. He eats microwaved vegetables & a ham while grain sandwich. I felt hurt that he doesn't appreciate my traditional cooking (it's mostly vegan with baked meat. I cook for myself & him & his roommate get mad that I don't cook for them? They don't like what I grew up cooking & they grew up eating out of microwaves & portable cook tops. I don't understand why the just find my cooking disgusting? Everyone says I'm a good cook & it taste good.
reply

Does this also count for close friendships? Because my best friend is doing 3 ( barely apologizing, micromanaging, unclear communication) of these, i have the 4th one (being attached) and everytime i tell her that i have probvlems with her beghavior or this friendship, she says: If you cant get along with me, youre free to leave. I wont change.
So I started to change, trying to be perfect.
Normally i would've already left her, but she has depression and it's connected to her behavior.

reply

I feel like some of these bad traits accompany me with just regular people, but when it comes to relationships I dont have these issues. Something about having a partner truly brings the best out of me, and at least for me personally, it becomes very troubling when I do all that I can to be as perfect as I can and it seems as though my partner is incapable of putting that same effort in. Just makes me feel like I do 70% of the work to keep things healthy and they do 30%.
reply

I think this goes without saying that, in addition to too much emotional attachment, there is too much emotional detachment, so much as being too attached to someone is negative being too detached from the relationship can be also negative, this can be something like taking the relationship for granted. (I think you should've pointed that out, there should be a balance
reply

No. 3 communication is the key to a relationship.
That doesn't seem to quite work for me. I mean whenever i try to communicate with my gf or i open up about my needs and insecurities she always gets angry and always has something to say in against to my opinion or points. Will someone please let me know what i should do in such conditions?

reply

A 2017 study found that if you offer a sincere apology, the other person is much more likely to forgive you.
That is so sad and depressing that people really did a study on that, like people actually need a study and professionals to tell them that they need to do something were taught to do in pre-school! Grow up, people!

reply

I feel if u are not sry u shouldn't say it. If u have all positive aspects and did nothing wrong u shouldn't say it. If it's a true mistake then ok. Lol never one soul but yes a connection. Nobody should rely dependant on other. I agree and communication is very important. Yes ppl but labels and assume exactly for no reason.
reply

Assumptions are not only bad in relationships, they are always bad. I hate it when people assume stuff without any proof.
Besides that some examples would be nice. For example I tell my partner to not throw his clothes on the ground but instead put them on a chair or something. But is this already micromanaging?

reply

Ok this has really confused me, if we live together and they are putting clothing on the floor what should i do? If i cant bring it up like that, are you insinuating that i should ask them where they think the clothing should go, and discuss it like that? This would make sense but it has little difference
reply

Im number 4, I suffer with ocd and things must always be in its place. My bf and I argue about it all the time. I just feel like if I dont leave things of mine around the house for you to clean up why are you. Its like a disrespect. Especially when Im the only one cleaning. Relationship can just be toxic.
reply

I need help. i think i am loosing my feelings for my boyfriend but i feel bad because everyday he is reminding me that he loves me and I don't know exactly what my feeling are plus everyone would think I left him for his friend becouse we are talking to each other often
reply

What about when I refuse to say sorry for something that was obviously a joke that we both were in on. But because I didnt say sorry no matter how much she asked she starts to get angry. Also i believe saying sorry should only be used for real situations. Was I doing too much?
reply

Although Ive never been in a relationship, Ive had been in moments where I did something wrong and is scared to apologize, mainly because I always say sorry yet make the same mistakes. So instead of saying sorry, I try to SHOW Im sorry, if that makes sense?
reply

In the past, I believe that micromanaging destroyed my relationship. Due to our similar ages, I had the impression that I was living with my mother rather than a lover. And for that reason, despite my continued patience, I detest everything he does.
