Separate Judgement from Distinction In Relationships

You're a good person. You try not to judge people by their race, religion, sexual orientation, or other criteria.

Vulnerability is The Crucial ABILITY in Intimate Relationships (especially for men)
Переглядів 8803 роки тому
Many of us learn at a young age (especially boys) that vulnerability=weakness. We therefore try to hide it and don't show it to our partners. This results in shallow, self-presentational relationships with little vitality, excitement, play or curiosity. Moreover, when you're not vulnerable, then you're less interesting to your partner and over time you become more numb to your own inner working...

    This video taught me a lot. Either ours is not a true Pursuer/Distancer relationship, or my spouse is not a Distancer, we're something else. He is high anxiety, a worrier & self-admittedly emotionally immature. He's a loving person, just has trouble sharing and expressing how he's really feeling, like more "emotional overwhelm". I'll have to watch more to learn how to better connect.

    I love this! I think the same would apply to over using “thank you”. It casts the grateful person as the inferior and the one being thanked as the superior. I don’t know if you have an episode on this, I guess people don’t tend to go that way in their interactions.

"The only way around is through, and the only way I can grow is through the pain, and the ruptures, and the repairs." -- this hit home especially.

    Don't ever assume you know someone. Don't try to understand them either. Love them, trust them. Don't try to understand them. You can't. They are them, and you are you, and the more you "know" about them the greater the circumference of ignorance will grow. Trying to know or understand is controlling behaviour. It stems from an inability to accept her as she is. Know yourself fully and know your own worth, then love and trust her. That is enough.

    I’ve seen this first hand my ex wife and who I adore had a very sarcastic and cynical sense of humor. It was hard work. I’d call her out and she said “Just get over yourself Andrew”

  • @andrewcombe8907
    @andrewcombe8907 5 місяців тому

    This has been happening since Betty Friedan and “The Feminine Mystique”. It’s also unfair and unwarranted. Men bust their chops to provide then get faced with an angry, bitter wife who yells and can’t regulate her emotions.

  • @andrewcombe8907
    @andrewcombe8907 5 місяців тому

    Why can’t your wife own her bad behaviour? Yelling as a means of “expressing my anger and frustration” is just abuse. If a woman does it then it’s regarded as “venting” if men do it it’s regarded as “abuse”. There is no excuse for such behaviours. Your wife deflects all the time. It’s never her fault. Most men would have divorced her by now.

  • @andrewcombe8907
    @andrewcombe8907 5 місяців тому

    “Passionate” is fine as long as it’s not yelling. Artists are passionate. Abusers yell. Yelling is not subjective. Yelling is objective. If the neighbours can hear or your kids are scared of your yelling that’s abuse. The yeller who thinks they are passionate is simply abusive. Children who grow up with yellers become abusers. Yelling is no longer acceptable just as hitting children is no longer acceptable. As an adult your anger and frustration is your problem. You should be able to regulate your emotions. If you think yelling as an adult is acceptable you are using your spouse and children as a punching bag. Go for a walk. Exercise. Just don’t yell. It’s like hitting someone. Anyone who is a yeller and tries to excuse it by saying they are passionate ask yourself this: Would you want someone at your work yelling in your face? Would you want some random stranger in the street yelling in your face? No. It’s abuse bordering on an assault. So why do you do this at home? Home is meant to be a harbour not a tempest. See it from the kids perspective. They must be terrified of their parents.
