@burned_notbroken: the burned out pursuer dynamic is extremely challenging, draining, and it’s no surprise most couples don’t make it on the other side. but it is possible. #relationshipburnout #emotionalsafety #burnedoutpursuer #relationshiprepair #almostdivorced
can you do a video on what emotional safety looks and sounds like?

I am exhausted from trying to get my husband to see my reality. He is dedicated to protecting his view of himself rather than seeing the pain he causes. My nervous system is shutting down. I can't participate in any dynamic with him.

My ex and I broke up a couple weeks ago after five years together. He’s been staying at his parents and I think they’ve been telling him more bad things about me and could ruin our chance at trying again in the future. They were part of the reason we broke up. They kept saying bad things about me when I didn’t do anything. Can it be possible to heal in the same space? We both are on the lease and we can’t afford to break it. I think it’s possible since I plan to work on myself and continue therapy. He thinks it won’t because he still thinks I’m going to try and be his gf. I don’t want that rn. I want both of us to heal and get better. And hopefully try again so we can both give each other the best versions of ourselves.

did you go through a period of I guess no contact or did you stay and talk still?

Is burnout the same as someone telling you they are not in love with you anymore?

What was it like moving back to the marital home? I assume that's what happened...

I told her maybe some distance and time would help regulate our nervous systems for this exact reason. And she told me she didn't need time or distance to know she wanted the divorce. I was trying to salvage and accommodate right up to the very end but that broke me.

All well and good, but the separation and space is much harder when there are children. Good luck with your future. I'm very happy for you both.

My husband walked out a week ago. Married 11 years, 3 young kids. He didn’t discuss he just left. Came to get the kids today and he already has his wedding ring off. I’m so broken

What was the specific instance where you decided that you didn’t want to follow through with the divorce anymore? How do you approach that conversation?

That's a privilege that some of us don't have. I would give anything to separate and heal but we can't afford to.

I hope mine turns around and we can work things out she told me she needs time and space, I've been trying to respect that but it hurts and I love her and she loves me but she is hurting and tired of the hurt and the cycle, but I think this is what we needed so we can take a step back heal and fingers crossed reconnect and have something great again. thats my best friend and the loml

Your story makes me hopeful, but I realize from watching your videos that we don’t share kids and have no reason to see each other besides the mediation meetings, so she has no opportunity to see all the work I’ve been doing. It’s a bit disappointing because as I’m healing I know I can make a great life without her, but I’d love to make one with her.

What if the burnout is from working too much? The problem is not in the relationship but he’s completly depleted from work. I offered to wait but he didnt give me a certain answer, we dont talk and i dont know if he broke up or not, im not blocked but wont answer my texts asking if he broke up with me or just needs some space.

I’m so glad I saw this. This is me. An incident with the kids happened, and it was like a switch flipped. My mind and body wants out of this dynamic we’ve created. I’m exhausted, and my nervous system feels completely overwhelmed. I signed a one year lease on an apartment because I told him that if I stayed and one more major thing happened, I might never come back.
Right now, we both need space to work on ourselves if we’re going to have any chance of staying together. The biggest issue is that I don’t feel emotionally safe with him. I don’t see him as reliable. He doesn’t consistently follow through, and too often my feelings are dismissed instead of understood.
At this point, I’m so hypervigilant that I’m constantly looking for more evidence to confirm why we shouldn’t be together. I know that’s not a healthy place to be, but it’s the reality of where I am right now.

In essence, your are talking about domestication a person. There, I’ve said it. Work needs to be done for both and each yourselfs sake. Absolutely. I live through that for the past 1,5 years now. Still not there and it’s raw, deep but honest. Try stay away from domesticated situation while recovering. That’s all.
