Ooof this is so triggering. The constant “debates” over listening, changing, and resolution. It’s no way to live

“I cannot teach someone how to love me, and I don’t want too” damn.

This Is Your Mother Speaking :
Even with the tiniest things I would try to "vent" to him, he couldn't just validate me, it was always about what I did wrong in that situation... I stopped talking to him about literally anything.

I have ended up Googling "how did people in arranged marriages in the old days meet their emotional needs?" and "what did nobles in the Middle Ages do since they didn't expect romantic love?" things like that 💔

Ashley :
I knew I carried the emotional load, and I expressed that I wanted help, and then I wound up carrying the emotional load OF carrying the emotional load. 😅

It ended up always with me apologizing to him and then he would want to be alone

I don't talk to him at all now because he'll just shove away any worry, concern, thought or feeling. Either with silence or invalidation. There is no place for comfort there, just burden. I bypass him entirely.

the having to explain my POV in the most articulate way or he will focus on my tone or the words themselves and not the emotion behind it. he will acknowledge how I feel after the defense and still nothing changes. it does feel like im something he has to manage not love.

I feel this too hard and I can see that my partner hasn’t worked through a lot of their past and emotions and so it’s really hard for me to bring up my own

Having to argue the validity of your feelings is the worstttt. So exhausting.

Totally agree but I’m distracted by the mug because I have the same Bobby Flay set from Kohl’s circa 2013 lol

I too carried the emotional load for 7 yrs w/the ex-husband. I was exhausted. After divorce my mental clarity returned & I never want him back.

From one parentified kid to another, I just wanted to say your videos have helped me process my own relationships and validate my experiences so much. Watching your content often feels like looking into a mirror. Thank you for sharing, and may we both continue to heal and grow and one day find our emotional match!! ❤️

The way this is my life right now. Like almost exactly. There would only be one change to what you have said. When speaking about learning emotions through a volatile family, I didn't learn emotions. I learns how to weather them.

My vulnerabilities were weaponized against me to bring me down when she was upset. So I learned to carry everything alone.
