Your best self will cause them to be a bad partner. Instead of being reciprocal emotionally they'll try to avoid accountability as possible by making you take accountability. Because you being kind and patient allows them to be as bad as they want and then when they recognize their own shortcomjngs they blame the relationships unhealthiness on you and find a new person instead of facing themselves

Hard Truth :
This could not be more right, you don’t need rocket science to see emotional immaturity as long as you aware, one hallmark of adulthood is making love and be able to be independent financially, emotionally and even mentally. While you kid there is imbalance of power for obvious reasons,in childhood when hungry or sleepy you cry but in adulthood directly you say your needs and wants, in childhood you can swear to whoever but in adulthood you read the room, while you kid you depend on other in adulthood you care for other, children they believe they know everything in adulthood you should know your limit and so on

They only understand power dynamics. This goes way beyond intimacy… This can apply to friendships as well. The minute you level up and don’t need them the start competing and devaluing you.

Absolutely. Bella hook said ‘ she/he may only understand and believe in the dynamics of power of one up and one down. It feels safer in this kind of paradigm. Atleast when you hold to the dynamics of power, you never have to fear them. You know the rules of the power game, whatever happens the outcome can be predicted. They know the person who needs them will stay no matter what and they don’t have to face any consequences. They NEED to Be needed badly. They need to be up on a pedestal baaad

My first marriage was like that. Except it was him “giving me a chance” because he was from a 2-parent household and went to private school. Meanwhile I was born to a single, teen mom and bounced around public schools. Didn’t matter that I ultimately became more educated than him and made more money, or maybe that mattered too much which is why he always had to remind me what a great background he had and that only through him was I breaking the cycle of single motherhood. Meanwhile he was literally leeching off me and abusing me, then jumped ship once I said enough, leaving me to be a single mom. The irony.

Even after the breakup he is still baits me to be responsible for his regulation or problems - and consequences - all while being condescending at the same time. Now that I see it, it just cracks me up.

They also like to date people a little less emotionally mature (or outwardly less mature) than them so they feel like the mature one. They will complain about those people and their behaviors but stay with them because it makes them feel like they’re the better partner when they’re actually emotionally similar.

You can’t really have a healthy relationship with someone you secretly see as beneath you. Men sometimes dismiss women as irrational and women sometimes dismiss men as emotionally immature. Different stereotype both are contemptuous. Intimacy requires relating to someone as an equal. You can’t genuinely love or respect someone while quietly believing you’re superior to them.

Do you think the weight of how underdeveloped the way they’re acting is exacerbates their behaviour? As in do they sense deep down their actions are coming from a position of weakness which perpetuates the emotional immaturity. I’d be so embarrassed acting the I’ve seen some people act.
