    Are there other indications of an emotionally unsafe person, cuz I don't seem to fit the stereotype ans my wife recently said she doesn't feel emotionally safe around me. I am a highly logical person so when faced with emotions combined with reasoning that is possibly flawed I try to help her see a differnet perspective. I have recently realized that she doesn't respond well to this and have decided just to take it in and keep my reasoning for myself, even if I'm the reason of her discontent. Sex is non-existant and I'm kinda glad she hasn't expressed the desire for it because the idea of being intimate with someone who sees me as an emotuonal threat is unappealing. I'm not the type to cheat or seek a divorce because I know the pain those cause. I've resigned myself to keeping possibly controversial thoughts and emotions inside while trying tobe available physically instead of withdrawing into my cave of solitude.

    • @AzzaButter
      @AzzaButter 4 місяці тому

      I've been there, the trick is not to try and solve the problem. What she is looking for is validation of her emotions regardless if they are logical or not. Lead with compassion, empathy and curiosity. E.g. she shares an issue at work respond with that must have really stressed you out, I can see why you are upset. Ask follow up questions. Ask her what she needs (don't tell her). Just be present. It's hard at first, you'll be biting you tongue. What you have to understand though it but trying to solve the problem you are trying to make her emotions go away so you feel regulated. You have to sit in the discomfort of her emotions. Over time you'll realise it's safe for both of you and this is a great opportunity for connection and intimacy.

    • @lonil.8225
      @lonil.8225 13 годин тому

      It's because you're trying to logically reason away what she's feeling. It's incredibly dismissive and invalidating. Hear her out. Give her space- hold space for her.

    This stuff is hell to heal from. The first time I heard a door slam in the hotel I’m staying at (after separating) and I immediately broke down in tears. Because my first reaction was about my ex, even thou I knew he wasn’t there with me. This feels impossible to heal from, and I just feel like a pathetic traumatized thing who will cry at the drop of a hat. Flee from situations that even remotely remind me of my ex. And leave me just full of self loathing because of the things I’ve allowed. And even now, I’m crying.

    I feel like crying every time I come across new information about adhd that I struggled with all my life due to being late diagnosed and so thinking that everything was me being “terrible” The sheer amount of self esteem issues I’ve had because I couldnt understand myself is immeasurable and I’ll always be thankful to people who put out videos like this one that help educate not only others, but ourselves, ‘cause that’s how I’m finding little by little that I make sense. So thank you, I appreciate it a lot

Your efforts are never be forgotten it is a priceless it is a gift. and i see your efforts for bringing me to hospital for buying for me medicine for fixing my laces in my shoes for bringing me strawberry yogurt for bringing my strawberry 🍓 fruit and strawberry smoothie and for taking care of me for the 3months sickness when baby doesn’t accept the food in my stomach i appreciated everything. Your a wonderful husband a man that easy to get angry easy to get nervous 😬 and easy to laugh when he is happy 😃 The simple love and life you provide is what i need and what i ask to allah. i want to be your wife your best friend your lover and you are the best thing happen to me. I am sorry for my mistake that it is against your way and your rules i may not perfect as you want but thats all i can offer i have small heart ♥️ that offers you loyalty, love, trust , i leave for your peace, when you needed a wife and a child to be around you, our home in the Philippines is ready for you. I understand that you are lost your hurt and feeling empty inside but remember this is not a mistake this is Allah plans and soon you will appreciate this pain and when you feel lonely 😞 frustrated lost 😞 and not complete Our home is ready for you and you will reconsider to be home with me again.

    If you've tried literally every other line of communication throughout your entire relationship without any success, to try to explain this to your partner, this video I thought for sure could be the final success. After 3 years of trying to explain what I meant when I said I am lacking emotional trust for him and that it is what's been blocking my desire for closeness, I found this video. I thought it perfectly (and differently than I had been) described what I was feeling and what I was trying to convey. Thank you!

He wants me to attend countless functions with all of them almost every weekend and they barely speak to me!! So I’ve been putting my boundaries up. The house looks like a shrine to her memory !

  • @donnaallgaier-lamberti3933

    For me, I chose divorce after my 24 year marriage was obviously no longer connected. We were living like two roommates in the same house and there was nothing left. I wanted connection and love and commitment. He wanted to play and have fun on the ball field and the bar at night and I wanted to have a husband who cared as much about me as his good times (playing sports, canoe outings, camping trips, bars and drinking.-tihngs I was not interested in. I was interested in finishing the raising our two sons, building my business and regaining my health. .

  • @donnaallgaier-lamberti3933

    Having gone through a divorce after 24 years at age 46, I wanted the (tiny three bedroom w a tiny lawn) family home because that is where I I felt safest, the most familiar and the most calm. I needed to heal in a place that I knew and could manage.

  • @donnaallgaier-lamberti3933

    Girl, you are singing to the choir here. I believe that my husband age 78 has undiagnosed ADHD. We have been married 27 years and I have also been constantly disappointed, feeling let down, angry and resentful most of the time most of the time. I am currently in therapy to try to deal with what we had been thinking was his depression and his cognitive decline. But the more I study and research, I now think it is ADHD instead. How do we find the person who truly specializes in ADHD.

    I was actually going to list somethings from a male perspective... But women don't care about that. They just want validation. They/y'all never listen. So just divorce, never get married again, ride the carousel until you can't anymore. Dont look at yourself in the mirror, dont self reflect, dont put in any real effort and whatever you do, don't ask men for a mans perspective on men's issues. Stick to social media validation and women. That's been doing great for relationships the past 20 years.

    It's as tough question because she's right, it depends on each person's needs and those are as varied as the stars. But what I can say is that there are three things that keep a marriage going (IMHO). Communication. Listening. Action. Tons to unpack on each of these, but that's the groundwork (I mean outside of initial attraction, some common interests, shared values etc.). When the you know what hits the fan, you need to be able to do the three above things and have the partner be involved as well. I think a lot of couples struggle with that.

I've broached the subject several times and nothing changes. It's now just a question of where my line in the sand is... and I feel it's getting ever closer.

    • @spacemanspliff7844
      @spacemanspliff7844 Рік тому

      Truthfully I’m not attracted to my wife the way I was when we got married. We’ve argued so much over the last ten years that I just don’t have a lot of affection for her anymore. She is one of those ladies who manages to turn every time I bring up an issue into a fight where she acts like a victim for me bringing things up. It’s gotten so tired that I just keep talking while she’s losing it. I have figured out that it’s a game she plays to try to take over the conversation. This is not a great person to try to resolve issues with because once that little flare turns on, a wildfire is about to set loose. She’s good looking. We have three kids and honestly she’s more physically attractive now than she’s ever been. However, we have nothing to talk about and I just don’t want to put in much effort because I don’t like getting turned down and I can’t keep pretending to enjoy “intimacy” with someone I can’t talk to about anything. The large part of conversation for the last 2 years or so has just been the daily monotonous question of “have you talked to your family?” I’m here for my kids. I’ve considered talking to other women and even starting an affair. I’m not getting what I want from this relationship. Doesn’t that count? If you set out on an set of expectations, you sort of expect that to keep up. If someone stops being the person you wanted to be with, particularly on this issue, doesn’t that count? I got married to have sex in the only socially acceptable place to have, not to be kept from having sex. I want to feel like I can be myself and be open about what I like. I will tell you that our marriage is NOT that place. Have you done any introspection on that stuff? As a man, I can tell you that sex, exercise and sleep are high priorities, with sex being fairly close to the top. The reason it’s a priority is because I work hard. I make nearly 200k a year working two jobs. I also do shit around the house, work on the cars, fix the fence, do man shit. My wife feels like she’s done what she needs to do if there’s food and the house is clean. Ladies, let me tell, that stuff is cherry on top. What men want is to feel sexy and like they are the ones you need to take care of you. If you don’t communicate that to him, he will find someone who will.

    I have a similar situation, we have a good relationship we both have our flaws but have always communicated. Anytime I need emotional support from him he runs away and won't speak to me and uses reason why he's leaving that were OK before and we communicated about against me when I was under the impression it was still fine . Then all of a sudden he's told his family those reason which are so embarrassing for me and he knew it's something I'd only ever want him to know and told him how hurt I was he weaponized the one thing I trusted him with the most and then after hanging up that call , went and told my mother. I was so good to him and make sure he know I would do anything for him and he's done this before when I asked for emotional support so same situation I asked for it again this time and he took off but now using the thing I trusted and communicated to him as the reason. I'm so incredibly broken , I can't eat,sleep or even leave the house ,every Fibre of my being is on fire, and what happens if we do work it out , this one instance has created 1000 more issues , trust issues , I'll never want to be around his family cuz they enable this so he has never had to work stuff out he always runs home instead. I built us a beautiful life and was a good man to him , I don't understand how he can blame me and do every single thing he knows would break me the most , iv never felt this kind of pain
