  • Alex writes, “How to tell if your gut feeling speaks the truth or if it’s insecurity? I've been dating my girlfriend for 8 months. We love each other & all is great. But I feel that something is wrong. I don’t know if my gut is signaling that she's cheating or if she's not in it for the long-term. Or if this feeling is insecurity. I've been insecure in the past, but my gut feeling has also been right in the past.”

    Stayed with a guy far too long because I was telling myself "I'm just overreacting" and "my anxiety comes from my childhood wounds". Nope, the dude was actually still in love with his ex, and my gut feeling picked it up. Wish, wish, wish I had acted on my gut feeling earlier. If you feel "anxious for no reason" - you're not crazy. There is a reason, it just needs to be understood correctly ♥ hope this helps somebody

      The same exact thing happened to me. He ran me into debt and told me if I didn’t lose my virginity to him he wouldn’t believe I loved him, a week after I lost it to him he started cheating on me with his ex, when I would get anxious he would gaslight me and withhold affection. Then when the truth came out he ghosted me, after a 2.5 year relationship. I’m sorry you went through that

      ​@@SusanWinter I just may add or confirm that is, that often times I think, we do pick up on some irregularity - like you said before 5:14 in the video - that makes us have that "gut feeling" but are too *busy, or delusion ourselves still and so on, so it doesn't come to continuousness completely/in a full perspective? And again, literally thank you for existing Susan 😅 and for DOING THESE videos. It is truly a life changer 🙏. Not only that I learn a lot, but also having someone for the FIRST TIME confirming something that "I knew" but watching some other videos on these topics made me doubt my perceptions and conclusions and just getting more confused.. . 🌞🌸✨🧚💜🌱🌻

    Be careful sharing this kind of gut feeling information if you suspect your partner is a cover narcissist. They will use that against you and Gaslight you, telling you you're crazy and need help or even therapy to deal with your insecurities when they're the ones not in it fully and your gut feeling is nothing but correct at the fact they have one foot out the door and don't want you to know

    It absolutely speaks the truth. Your gut feeling just reaffirms that there’s something wrong with the relationship. It may not necessarily confirm that the other person is cheating, but it does confirm that you don’t feel right in the relationship. You’re in denial if you think all is great and you want to sweep your gut under the rug.

    I had a gut feeling after 1 month he wasn't for me. He love bombed me (big red flag) and became very needy and clingy. I felt so smothered! I told him I needed space. He guilt tripped me to keep trying. Saying "I'm going to miss you so much". 4 years later and countless accusations of cheating when I wasn't doing anything! Things would be ok then out of the blue he would blow up and accuse me. I am almost 100% sure now he was the one cheating with this woman he always claimed was just a "friend". It was hell on earth! I am healing now but wish I had followed my intuition. Ladies we have a strong sense of intuition. NEVER ignore your GUT FEELINGS!!

    I love this. And very rarely are insecurities unwarranted, it's usually behavior which doesn't align with safety/security in a relationship manifesting itself. If people care about the relationship and cultivating it properly, the right actions are taken and exhibited. So if someone's not all in or just there for less committed reasons, you'll be able to tell.

      @ALABRASILIANA 3 роки тому +1

      @@vivianluong8873 I don't think it's the norm to work past "insecurities" for another person, I'd be weary of a person pushing you past any untrustworthy/gut feelings, possible narcissist. You'd probably have a secure & clearly communicated relationship from the start. You should also work on yourself before a relationship, to the point where your past isn't hindering you currently, it's unhealthy to bring emotional baggage into a new situation. You won't have good discernment without proper healing.

    Always I mean ALWAYS listen to your gut feeling, I had lots of relationships in the past, and I can remember that I got so many gut feeling signals with certain girls only not all of them and I was completely right, I just felt that there was something wrong happening without having any evidence, I felt angry, upset and couldn’t be romantic with them, it’s like something was preventing me from being nice and romantic with them, I was forced internally to stop saying “I love you” or even calling them babe or my love. The hardest thing is how to prove it to confront your partner and in this case don’t talk directly use some physiological tricks. If you confront your partner you would get ZERO truth, nobody would say oh you are right I’m cheating on you, even if they want to break up with you, they don’t want to be the bad part of the story “fu***** cheaters”, they would say “seriously!!! Why do you think that I’m cheating or taking to someone else? You are crazy.

    One time I ignored my intuition about someone because I thought I needed to step outside my comfort zone. Big mistake. Later my gut kept telling me "I told you so nyah nyah!" I lost a bunch of money but in the end, I turned it into a much needed learned lesson....the price to learn it was worth it otherwise I may have ignored it again. Crucial to listen to that instinct/intuition/gut or as some might refer it to as The Holy Spirit. Whatever it is.......do listen to it! Pay attention.

    I can speak to this... over the past 6 months, i started to feel something odd about my wife. she started to pull away, and claim she's working late and company events on a regular basis. Then it gets worse as the days pass until she is unresponsive to my texts, and spending time with me less and less, when i know her phone is pretty much attached to her hip. Well... she broke up with me, then confess that she moved on with a coworker a month later. She has always been a person i can trust, and have done nothing for me to think otherwise. But trust your intuitions... A good signal that something is not right, is feeling her pulling away. They do this because they loss emotional connection with you, and more than likely there is a 3rd person involved.

  • @UM360
    @UM360 4 роки тому +30

    If there's a gut feeling regarding cheating, it would be best not to expose your suspicion. If we are talking about a long relationship I suggest you should keep an eye on them. A thief would never tell you if he or she has ever stolen anything,same goes here ( pretty much) If the relationship is fresh then i suggest you just end it. Gut feeling is pretty much a warning that the person opposite you is probably not giving you all the attention and love you used to get. (less attracted to you. A 3rd wheel or possibly bored) Nonetheless save your sanity and move on

    Love my ex of 8 months, but... Told him about my gut feeling, explaining that something didn't feel right. He told me to take as much time as I needed, without discussing it. I believe he was with other people, and was just using me as a companion. He is also very codependent on one of his friends. This had a big impact on our relationship. He planned major things with this guy without telling me, such as flying out of state to attend a wedding with him of someone he didn't know, and he even went to dental appointments with him...It was baffling... I asked him if he was paying for the dental care, he gave me an unconvincing "no". The frosting on the cake is when he stood me up and blamed me. I still care for him, but my gut.... At first I thought it was just insecurity, but I don't think so anymore.

    One thing not discussed in the video: When you can't trust your gut feeling because you have depression or another mental illness. For depression, it's hard to trust your gut because depression will lie to you so the part that exists from action can feed itself.

    I always go by actions speak louder than words (always said it to him and he HATED that) so ofc when I was in a relationship I had insecurities and watched to see if he acted otherwise. He always lied about how he was acting, never matched up to what he was doing so my gut feeling from then on felt off. I'm always given a reason why he acts the way he does, but it ends up being a lie and then he admits it and it starts all over again with something else. It is bloody.... DRAINING!!!!!!

After much thought, I came to the conclusion, that it is not to find out why she is not responding in a timely manner, but more importantly, why am I reacting to it. My conclusion is that she was triggering what my ex used to do to me, that was so emotionally painful for me. As far as she is concerned, I will not reach out as much any longer. Maybe just a hey, how you doing, every now and then. I feel at peace with myself.

    Every year when I reflect i always learn that my instincts were always right it's a reoccurring revelation. I was in a long distance relationship 5 years ago but I ended it within few months after my first visit although on paper he is a very nice guy I had a gut feeling he had a secret relationship with a mutual friend and I even asked him but he denied it. But also because of other reasons I did not continue the relationship. However every year I go back to the country to visit family where my ex also lives, since we have mutual friends me and my ex remained friends but he would always pursue to "court" me but because of rumours escalating I would always ask him about the mutual friend yet he would deny it, but s I would make it clear to my ex I cannot commit to him because my gut just didnt feel right. This year after few years I finally was able to ask the mutual friend myself and they admitted it, I spoke to my ex about it and he was like how he was going to tell me he was just finding right time (but he had so many chances to tell me). Keep in mind this ex would always try to "court" me everytime I'd go to the country yet everytime I asked the question he would deny it. Although I never committed to him I always gave him my friendship and he always had the opportunity to tell me the truth in a calm environment.
    My fellow youtubers I am so glad I never entered into anything longterm with this guy. Am I hurt? yes I am a because I saw him as a good friend and with any friend I would feel that way if they lied to me for so many years. BUT I am not broken because I never committed myself to this coward my instinct/gut feeling told me each time he tried to "court" me that he is not the right person for me. People NEVER SETTLE even if on paper the person is nice and lovely, your instinct is your sidekick and can identify things that you may not necessarily see straight away.

The worst is I have no idea who he's talking about, I don't know if this guy is blue yellow or green, I wasn't paying attention.And... I'm new in the city I moved countries to live with him, I do not know anyone in the city...? I was shocked when he asked me that.. I feel like crying when I remember this episode.

    It makes me think of a video you did about a year ago titled From Commitment to Non-existent. Whether gut or insecurities, I'm now feeling she ran ahead of herself & when things got real, she didn't have the skill set to deal. So she bolted. I'm finally in a place where the pain of loss is beginning to wane..

      @Authentic Relationships Coaching Not to defend or make excuses for her actions, she does deal with some measure of depression. You might be right to a degree but we all have a bit of narcissism in us. The video Susan put out some time ago titled They Bailed Out of the Blue was the one I was thinking about. It fits my situation perfectly and makes perfect sense. We are both widowed and in our mid sixties and had already started the conversation as to what it would look like if we were to get married in the not-so-distant future. Evidently only one of us was actually serious about it. I really do appreciate your input. Be blessed.

I've heard you say many times that when alarm bells go off consistently during a relationship, it's important to trust your gut. What if you had evidence in the past that your partner is not trustworthy but they claim to have changed?
    For the first three months that I was seeing my boyfriend, he was still in the process of breaking things off with his ex and lied to me when I confronted him. Now that the truth is out, he claims to have changed but I'm worried that he is pandering to what will keep me around. How do I know if this is my gut instincts or if he has really changed?

    Hi Susan. Thank you soooo much for your videos (from South Africa) . You are such a Gem.
    Could you please make a video about moving on without an apology from your ex partner or why some people just don't have the capacity to apologize even after you have told them they have hurt you deeply. Is there a way you can make them see your perspective or is the inability to apologize a character trait that cannot be changed?
    But how do you pick up the pieces without an apology when you were wronged?
    Hope to hear from you soon.

    • @SusanWinter
      @SusanWinter  4 роки тому +1

      It's much harder to move on without closure, but you'll have to do it for yourself. I have a feeling your ex lacks courage, and doesn't want to accept their responsibility by saying, "I'm sorry." Though it would be nice to have them say it, you don't need it to move on.

    I'm now in that situation. I feel physical symptoms the same you feel being in danger, like stomach cramps, stronger heartbeat, adrenaline shivers through all my body. I just know something's off with my date. I showed him a support and empathy telling him that I noticed he's bothered by something and that I'm open to talk about it, but he denies it telling everything's fine. However, he is becoming more and more distant. He changed the pattern of texting and communication, now he feels uncomfortable talking about deeper topics and shortly after changes it to more casual. He stopped asking me questions except the casual ones like "what's up". I'm upset because he should come to see me soon and I'm afraid he is going to flake on me, even though he said multiple times that he wants us to work out as a couple.

    Investigated further, wanting to believe my husband but kept finding other evidence until a mystery bra showed up in our bedroom: a black, lacy one.
    At that point, no sense pretending anymore that either of us doesn’t know what’s going on.
