I think the worst part of this is when someone can’t communicate that they’re going through something and leave others confused. Changed behavior without explanation is torture.

I just let him go through what he needs to go through. I can’t make him talk about what’s stressing him so I just let him be and give myself the love I want from him through daydreams or whatever

when my bf is stressed or tired he basically can only think about himself. like he'll talk about himself and his day for 2 hours straight and not even realise that he hasn't even asked how I am... and he can't seem to realise that this is what's happening either. it ends up being me to point it out.

My bf has done this twice (together 1 yr) the first time I was impulsive and wanted answers right then and there. The second time it happened I knew I had to give him space, no emotional pressure but still be there for him and him being there for me. He thanked me for being patient and understanding.

Literally EVERYTHING stops if his budget is even 1 freaking penny off and it just spirals down and somehow becomes my fault 🫠🫠

How do you navigate this? I’ve been in a constant state of trauma this year and it’s so tough trying to swim out of the water while being my best self for them

When this happens I acknowledge how I'm feeling and gently bring it up. Validate that my partner is going through a tough time and when they have the capacity, these are the things I've been missing. And then I put on my big girl pants and focus on myself 🥺

My bf blames his depression like oh I missed your birthday because I’m depressed. He says it’s like pretty much a chore to do things with me. He’s like none of the things we do is like natural. We always have to plan it.

I literally was just sitting in the bathtub in tears because of the same situation. It just doesn’t feel good when it’s confident.

I'm pregnant and he thinks he's bending over backwards bc he brings me food occasionally and gives me rushed i-could-be-doing-anything-else foot "rubs" like once a month. maybe twice. I asked him what this list of huge things he did for me was that had him so stressed he couldn't name a single thing. then accused me of doubting that he did anything. he cooks dinner. that's it.

men also produce testosterone when stressed, which makes its easier to deal with stress compared to women who don't...

I’ve been feeling this way about my girlfriend lately. We’re in a long-distance relationship with a significant time zone difference, and I’ve noticed she hasn’t been as affectionate as she used to be. I know she’s under a lot of pressure—working long hours, going to school in her free time, and taking care of her pets—and I truly sympathize with her. But when things get overwhelming for her, it feels like she shuts off her emotions toward me as a form of self-protection. I get so angry with her sometimes and try to tell her how this withdrawal affects me, and she tells me she understands. During the weekends, we talk things out, but by the end of the week, I’m left feeling frustrated and burnt out again. While that might work for her, since she has a more avoidant attachment style, it’s really hard for me as someone with an anxious attachment. I end up feeling isolated, and when I sense her pulling away, it triggers me to reach out more—which in turn makes her withdraw even further. It becomes a painful cycle that I don’t know how to break. It gets even worse when she plans things over the weekend with friends and she spends even less time with me.
