@elly.psychologist: It can be exhausting when every time you share your feelings in a relationship, the other person gets defensive. This often happens because they feel blamed, even if that’s not your intention. Defensiveness blocks real connection and makes it hard for you to feel heard in the relationship. Try focusing on your own experience and the behaviour, not the person, to help reduce defensive reactions. But if you keep running into the same wall, it might be a sign that your relationship is lacking space for your feelings. In a healthy relationship, both people should feel able to express themselves #Relationship #relationshiptok #relationshipproblems #relationshiptips #relationshipissues

It feels so frustrating to have to be so mindful and tiptoe around someone to communicate my feelings. especially when the sane courtesy isn't given back and it gets turned around on me

My husband goes into defensive state Every time I speak to him about almost everything personal. I find myself bracing for impact every day.

I say, " hey why didn't you text me, why are you ignoring me, did I do something wrong. are you talking with someone else? why does it show your playing game but you told me youre still coming from shop, and if you're walking from shop why can't you call? why can't you answer me something." than he only answers " text me when you finally get it sorted out" so I ask question what is happening but he repeats and only says " I think i can't talk today, and tomorrow etc" so I am still asking idk i am an over thinker and I need reasurance but idk what I can do better

Why should the one that has not created the problem should adjust their phrasing in order for the other side can not get defended? The reflection should happen to the both sides equally.

What happens if you focus on the behaviour and still my person dismisses me?

What about the person that’s getting defensive though? Why should it be down to the person who’s trying to get heard?

Prayer works… it is imperative to pray over your relationship, where two people are together for the purpose of love, the devil will always find ways to cause trouble… ✨

But what if u use those statements and the person says... Don't put me in the same boat as the I'm not like them. Then how do u go about it?? It's hard and then I end up saying I'm sorry juzt to try stop the conversation or argument x

what if you just get stared at with no reaction every time for years. being ignored and getting the silent treatment for days after you bring something up?

okay so my hubby drinks everyday, he knows he has a problem and says he drinks coz of his Anxiety, over the years I have talked to him about it and he says he knows he has a problem and will cut down, he cuts down for about 2 wks then he back to heavy drinking again. I try to have a conversation with him about my concerns, he gets all defensive and starts throwing about what I do blah blah blah..I am starting to disconnect
