I was waiting for the part where you go into detail about how mad he got,what he did etc and how you responded cause youre growing and yadayada. But his vantage point never came up and it dawned on me that was the point and I still got work to do. This story was about you and how you respond to issues

Is divorce just not an option? This sounds so exhausting still. You’re still doing emotional labor thinking about it.

today at the beach I said I was getting cold. He said he wasn't. I got out of the water and went to rinse off instead of sticking it out. I felt empowered and he accused me of being in a bad mood. I can see there is so much being present and really noticing to this... a life of conditioning is hard to break. 💪thank you for your series, its really helpful.

I use to give my partner the better looking plate. I stop because I realized that he wasn’t even asking for the better plate and i deserve to treat myself with as much detail and care as I do for him. I choose myself more as a result.

Ok so part of me thought - but what’s wrong with just being considerate of the other person but then I realized he almost never thinks this way when the situation is reversed which I guess unconsciously has created me just feeling annoyed and disappointed. I like being considerate but I also want to be treated that way too. But I do also want to be able to not have to adjust or as you say - brace myself for the reactions of annoyance or impatience- it’s exhausting.

God I used to do this and eventually it led to me getting irritated with him, which lead to arguments and a ruined outing. But when I stopped caring and just enjoyed my time, he keeps his complaints to himself and we have a much better time.

My therapist reminds me, why is his feelings more important than mine all the time. I matter too! It’s so hard to change but little steps are making me feel more empowered.

I have stopped telling my husband when people invite us places. Because he almost always never wants to go. And when I basically force him to go I have to spend the entire day walking on eggshells so something doesn’t piss him off and make him change his mind, and then the car ride to the outing is usually dead silent because he is brooding. He will usually have a good time once he is there but he doesn’t realize it is usually because I am spending the entire time making sure he is having a good time and feeling included, which in the end means I’m not having a good time because I’m babysitting. So now I just go alone so I can actually enjoy myself and leave him at home playing video games where he actually wants to be.

I wish I could do this but as an empath and always lived in a hyper vigilant mode and a people pleaser it’s almost impossible to check in with myself before assessing someone’s mood. I need to relearn life 😩🙏 you’re giving me hope

My conclusion is that men are benefitting from our maternal instinct to soothe our babies and kin. We use these same tactics to calm a baby or help a toddler. This is what we do as women. However, it took me having a baby to realize this something we don't do for adults which is why men don't do it for us. It's unnatural. This is also why sisterhoods are where we feel we can best pour into these instincts and feelings and get them in return. Hence why they are not AS misused around other women.
