Love can be one of the most beautiful and most challenging experiences in life. I've seen many relationships over the years and I've learned that mutual respect and open communication are more than important in really-healthy partnerships. Silent treatments and blame games can be damaging and create hurt and misunderstanding. It's important to understand that love should lift you up, not tear you down. Your feelings and concerns are not some kind of joke that can be dismissed. If your partner consistently makes you feel like the problem, it's worth considering whether this relationship is truly serving your life. It's natural to want to mend things and avoid conflict, but it shouldn't come at the cost of your own peace.

@summeryundt64 how beautifully you put it to words, thats right!


sometimes we romanticize the suffering as well.


but when your partner knows you aint going any where, keeping in view you have attachment issues . They naturally tends to take you for grnated rather than putting effort for a change.

When you try to distance them, they would blame you rather than realising their earlier disrespect.


its really frustrating!!

@pookie I understand..love can be incredibly confusing. I've lived on this planet 49 years and seen many relationships, and I can tell you that the feelings you’re experiencing are not uncommon. And usually the ones who try the hardest are the ones who suffer the most, unfortunately. If basic respect is missing, it’s a losing game..You deserve a partner who respects you! I can see that you’re willing to make changes and contribute to the relationship more than he is

Girl, I understand you. I had the same relationship where i gave and received nothing in return. Sometimes there were beautiful gestures, but they were so rare. I broke up with him and it was as if he was not even worried about it. He quickly found another and she also ran after him. I do not understand these guys.

In my case, every time we had a disagreement he would always turn the tables on me. It didn’t matter who started the argument it was always my fault. I remember once when he forgot my birthday and when i brought it up, he blamed me for not reminding him. Like what??? Ok ok

He had this way of making me feel like I was always the one causing problems. If I wanted to discuss something that was bothering me, he would say I was being too sensitive or overreacting. I began to question my own feelings and what’s most importantly my SANITY and started to believe that maybe i was the problem.

@Haley i wonder if men really think about anything.


I wonder if they even validate their own feelings…

he would tell himself

he dont need to be emotionally dependent on us

He dont need to chase

he dont need to care or show it

he is better the way he is

and that he would mange to be happy with or without me

he dont miss anything, he is emotionally strong and diesnt care to lose anyone



he woukd gaslight not only himself but also me to think like this and make me feel that its


me who is dependent on HIM.

@pookie I'm really sorry you're going through that. It's just not fair for us to go through hell while they're just chilling. Like what?? There were moments when he would do something nice like buy me flowers or take me out on a special date, but those moments were so rare. The majority of the time I felt neglected and unappreciated. I kept hoping things would get better, but they never did.

Seeing him with someone else and watching her go through the same cycle, made me realize that it was never about me. It was his pattern and he was going to keep repeating it with every person he was with. It was heartbreaking to see, but it also helped me understand that I deserved better. And the problem is never us

Hey there. Relationships can be really complicated, and it sounds like you're in a tough spot. The silent treatment is a form of emotional manipulation, and it's not healthy for either of you. It's one thing to need space after an argument, but using silence as a weapon is a different story. If he continues to blame you and refuses to change, you might need to think about the relationship and if you really want to stay. It's not easy, especially when it's your first love, but you deserve to be with someone who respects you and communicates effectively.

Your story breaks my heart. If you choose to see how he reacts to you not breaking the silence, it might give you some clarity. It might show you whether he's willing to take responsibility and work on the relationship or if he's content with blaming you for everything. It's a hard step to take, but sometimes we need to see things for what they are, even if it hurts. I hope you find the strength to prioritize yourself.
