    Ladies don’t be hard on yourselves! A lot of men are broken and they clearly don’t hVe the capacity to accept love from a woman. He could very well love you and have deep feelings but doesn’t attach out of fear. Not all men but most of them need therapy and tools to trust again. If he isn’t healed you won’t be happy at all.

      My bf and I well,he says he cares about me but his actions don’t fully line up. I mean when I leave his place he always has me tell him when I made it home safely.. and if we ever go out to the store or anything (he doesn’t go out much $issues) he always has me walk in the inside. We have had our issues,cheating,trust,abuse,addiction,and I got dentures but we’ve gotten mostly me sober.I’ve been 18months where I know he relapsed at 9 months. Since then he’s been sober until he got some $(we both arnt working,in treatment ) but he got credits mad $ and cashed in a stock. I know what he’s like when he’s high since I’ve used and relapsed with him countless times. When we got sober in the beginning we were intimate,yet it wasn’t fully connected he wasn’t doing anything..our relationship stopped any intimacy.no nicknames no cuddling no love you hell we haven’t even kissed in years. A week ago I had gotten him off..and a few days after I tried to have sex with him and he shushed me away yelling I kept waking him up. He has a job offer he is saying from his friend and he will be moving in 5months. So he’s been talking to his friend who’s an engineer they are going to be working on a similar project for his friends company he works at so his friends getting this job. He had this depressive issue before the job offer came,but he had said that he couldn’t explain why he couldn’t want to do anything,he couldn’t explain it anyway and then he said it’s hard to explain. So I wonder,because he cheated in the past about 2 years ago and I know he did before, but I’m wondering if he’s cheating emotionally atleast with one person. Bc I’ve caught the phone number and wrote it down. The area code doesn’t line up with the state his friend lives in. So if it’s a landline that is it’s not his friend.. but it is likely a cellphone . I don’t want to call it in case it is his friend since I know this friend is a workaholic so I don’t want to have his friend hear my voice,but I want to know if it is him or someone else. I tried to search but nothing comes up with the number.
      His mom came up and visited him like 2 weeks Ago which I checked with some relatives casually who informed me she was coming up so I felt relieved.yet he said she was visiting the next day too which for her to visit it’s another 2hour drive from where she was staying. So I don’t know if she would do that. He says he doesn’t lie yet I caught him in a few mostly when I caught him high,but also when he cheated and told me it was a guy he was meeting when it was a girl.
      I’m trying not to be emotional and want to have all the proof when I confront him. But I don’t want to confront him if it’s just his depression or something else. I feel like my needs arnt important as his,that he has no respect for me anymore,that he doesn’t love me nor care about me,and he’s just using me as a placeholder. I mean he’s broken up with me twice and came back but I worry that he sees me as desperate and doesn’t want to stay together. So I feel like he’s emotionally attached to another woman who’s he’s been talking to without me..the camera on the laptop that used to have a sticker over it’s been ripped off.and he couldn’t say why he removed it. Tiny things that are adding up plus my gut isn’t feeling right.

      I know it’s hard… and you’ll always find some way to talk yourself out of it. But please trust me, and I’m telling myself this also- think of any time you can’t get back. Think that you can enter the new year knowing that you’ll never again lose time to that pain again. Think of your life and future, and make that be the line that supercedes any other thought or hesitation that comes up. Draw the line at knowing you cannot and will not let one more moment, one more new year of your life, entertain even any facet of this situation. Not at all. Think of that slippery slope of thinking you can handle something differently or that some small interaction won’t matter and remind yourself of when it’s made you backslide in the past. Resolve to make this line permanent. Please do that for yourself, and I will do the same.

Just look at the bigger picture and you'll have your answer. Be honest and refrain from making excuses for that person.

    Recently I broke up with my boyfriend. This was the shortest relationship I have ever had. Why: dating is easy, we are the ones who makes it difficult. When someone is not all over us, we crave the attention from that person because of our own ego. Why would you even be into a person who is not into us that much? If he never shows interests in you totally avoiding to see your value: why would you even invest your time to choose someone who is not good at seeing the real opportunities ? He would be bad at it further in or without a relationship. So, that person is not that smart as you think now.

    I love this, thank you for pointing out how self-defeating it is to ask for reassurance of how a guy feels. As women we can be our own worst enemies by doing this and as you say so well looking for that "hit" of his reassurance (which always gives away our power and that secure feeling from soliciting reassurance never lasts!) Your Emergency Reboot Course helped me to see the guy I loved disqualified himself and was not the right one for me. That helped me keep my dignity and not chase him when he walked away. Two months later a man that loves me for ME walked into my world. The very things the wrong guy complained about me expressing a need for, the right man LOVED about me. I was heartbroken when the wrong guy walked away, but I listened to you and soon I will be marrying the man who daily shows me how he feels by placing my needs and happiness as his priority, all of which he does without being reminded or asked. I will keep listening and learning from you. Thank you Brian for helping me grow. :)

    Well, this video hit me hard. I'm still confused, but then my guy treats me like I don't exist, only when he wants something. So in other words, I have been cold, and distant, stopped texting, and stopped calling, and it eats me up inside. Though, he chases me, but only when he wants to see what I'm doing, in the sense he needs something. But I need to be strong. Last year I bought him a cake, and gifts, for his birthday. He was angry. I was puzzled. So I thought to be kind to show I care, and hoping to get something for my bday. I received absolutely nothing. So this year, he gets nothing. All the tears I cried over his, how he really felt about me, has brought me to my senses. I don't need him, nor do I want him. So I set my boundaries, though it took a long time.

    I was just contemplating this recently that only how they make me feel matters.
    And nothing is an excuse for less. “But he loves me” really amounts to nothing, like the cocker spaniel example.
    Thank you for doing these videos. And for being so frank and sensible! As many authors jump on the wagon and simply unethically put content put there aimed at losing your time on the wrong relationship, magically thinking it will be you that changes the other person into something they’re not. That narrative also feeds into unhealthy perceptions of self that keep people drawn to dysfunctional relationships- because having someone tell you it can be done only deepens the misperception that it is indeed you that cannot be good enough to get the right behavior out of the other person. Very twisted and unethical.
    It’s so reassuring to hear your sensible, really kind advice - I think you model a healthy type of masculinity and a healthy type of interaction that I can at least say I am very grateful for!

    This is the best advice! We can’t know what’s in his heart, but we do know how he makes us feel. If we feel confused and uncertain all the time with him, then obviously that’s not the life we want, and that’s the only life he can give.
    I find it hard to imagine that there are men who actually take time and effort to listen to their woman’s feelings and try to understand. I’ve not met such men. I wonder if you know many men who do care for women’s feelings, and if you do…well…I need to look for them.
    Thank you for your encouraging and educational videos!

    I honestly clicked on this thinking it was a pre-relationship type of video. There's a guy in my life who is such a great friend and a genuine gentleman. He has all the positive attributes talked about in this video, but what if the relationship between us is completely platonic? How am I to know if he likes me more than as a friend by the way he acts? What if I ruin the original friendship that we have if I bring up the topic of a closer relationship?

  • @donnameyerssister2018
    @donnameyerssister2018 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you. I needed to hear this. I realize now that I am addicted to his reassurance. If I say the wrong thing, he doesn't forgive me. If he says something that upsets me, he doesn't own up to it so everything is always MY fault. Now my feelings are really hurt. He's not speaking to me. I don't know what to do.

    I am, to be honest, in two relationships at the same time. One is a toxic relationship since 7 months, he is in and out, hot and cold. after a 2 to 3 months love bombing phase it became toxic.
    This is why I tried to escape it when I was on holiday before 2 months and met someone in my holiday who is completely different. From day 1 he treated me with love and respect, he calls me every day,is open with his feelings, so I said to myself that this is the real deal, I feel supported, loved, everything. But.. But.. I don't love him the way I love my toxic boyfriend who is bread crumbing me since months and giving me the silent treatment most of the time.
    I don't even know if this is love or addiction. But it started with love, this is for sure.
    So I decided to let go of both of them but the one who is the nice guy doesn't want to let me go and keeps calling me.
    It's a weird situation

The toxic one is sucking the life out of you. Take your time with the one who is pursuing you. Your feelings can change, even though it doesn't seem like it at the moment. PRAY about this as well!

Nobody has to put up with being someones crutch , its draining and unfulfilling ..if they are , damanged its their responsibility to try and heal themselves first before entering anothers life . I know because i have been hurt myself very badly and i have worked extremely hard for years to heal myself and i did it 💔 😔..
    But its true so many single/divorced men feel as if their live has been wrecked by ex partners and wives , and they find it hard to move on from pain and feelings of bitterness and resent . The relationship may start out well enough but eventually it begins to show it's ugly head ..

    i feel neglected but once i vocalise it trying to cut him off , he puts efforts to win me back then it lasts few weeks before the same patterns repeating again 😔 it triggers past traumas i become needy , angry and full of resentment . What a struggle !

      *He is displaying classic narcissistic behavior.* They love b0mb you to get you "hooked", like a drug. Once you are, the devaluing starts, followed by the discard stage. When they want some more supply, they come back, and love b0mbing you. It's a game for them. You fall for it. They know you're hooked on their drug. Then they devalue you. And the cycle continues until YOU WALK AWAY.

    It's never across the board. Never one size fits all. It all depends on the person you are in a relationship with. If an avoidance attachment is the issue, it's never going to be normal. If you want to stay with that person, many issues must simply be overlooked. It's not going to be the norm. Just the way it is.

Cause that will start my addiction to comparing myself, and a ton of hurt that sends my self esteem down a steep hill. I've learned to value myself. Let them get their model looking babe.
