I no longer interrogate the other party when they start acting flaky, I now turn the lens onto myself and I ask 'what is going on with you right now that is making you create room and space in your head and in your heart, for this person?' This makes it very easy to detach and to disconnect from an unhealthy dynamic. I'm getting faster and faster in recognising this.

@@erikabaj9037 They DO want a relationship, but once they will find out you aren't relationship material they put you in the sex-only category so they proceed to only go for that. You probably lack certain features to be taken serious for men. I know it hard to hear this but you have to understand men's reasoning and what they look for in a woman and also how hard it is for a man to obtain a relationship. Men have to invest FAR and FAR more time and effort than a woman to get a relationship. In fact to even land a date in the first place is many times harder for them. So that's why they try to get the most out of it (sex) so atleast there's some return on investment for them for the ability to land a date. You and every single woman really have to think critically why men have it so much harder. Trust me if I say that a man who's able to go on a date, he has to prepare himself many years in advance building himself up to be selected and said yes to (or swiped right on). Women on the other hand just have to exist, no more. It's as simple as that. If you aren't willing to acknowledge this as fact then you will never get it.

Recently I asked a girl out to hang out, she said sure but all the planning and initiation came from me so at some point I just stopped initiating and guess what. She never contacted me again. Of course it feels weird and I feel a bit shameful and like an idiot for believing her reaction but in the end their actions matter more than what they say.

@CJRelationshipConsulting Choosing someone based entirely on how that person makes you feel is a terrible idea. Love alone isn't enough to make a relationship work, we need consistent intentions aligned with repetitive behaviors that follow a pattern, we need someone whose career or profession is desired or needed enough in society to earn a wage that can cover all expenses needed to sustain a house, we need hard work, compromise, transparency and honesty to make a relationship work. We need compatible values, beliefs, religions and cultures in order to navigate through our differences without growing apart too much, we need to have more things in common than things that differentiate us from one another, we need to build a common project as a couple in order for our relationship to be successful. Life isn't a Disney fairytale, real life has challenges that are way harder than fighting a giant dragon or a horrible witch who spelled your beloved princess, real life has challenges that magical spells can't solve, which is why feelings or sexual chemistry alone isn't and will never be a strong or valid reason to get married to someone.

Thank you for this, Matthew. I've been dating for 8 years with a traumatic and abusive past when it comes to relationships. I've been going to therapy ever since and finally feel like I am at peace with myself and feel anew in my own body. I've learned how to regulate my shit and it's honestly pretty freeing. Before I had made progress on my healing journey, my entire dating history looked exactly like this. However, I have found myself recently heartbroken over something that was so special to me. I met someone a few months ago. I felt safe with them. We could talk about the real shit and be vulnerable together. I felt seen, heard, and understood with an overwhelming amount of support on each end. But he just broke things off with me because there was "no spark," even though he knew the value I bring and says he considers me his best friend that he loves. I didn't necessarily feel it either, but I felt so safe and like my best self with this person. I preferred that over a fleeting feeling that I knew wouldn't last anyway. I now feel so hurt because I feel like they may be chasing something that isn't always sustainable and doesn't indicate compatibility. He let a good thing go, and I know I don't want someone who isn't sure of me, but it's still so saddening. I suppose the silver lining is that I now see what I truly need. And it's good to know I am now drawn to something more healthy. Thank you for helping.

I really needed this. There's times my boyfriend feels or acts less romantic or excited about us. I get sad and lonely thinking what changed. It's important I calm down, nurture myself and give us both space. Running to him more for comfort seems to close him up. I hate that it feels like a yo-yo connection but maybe that's normal relationship balance 🤷♀️

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can’t stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I’m frustrated, and i don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can’t. I don’t know why I’m saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.

How do we recognize a person who is emotionally unavailable in a very subtle way where they are too afraid to speak up for themselves? I dated someone who was an amazing listener, held space for my emotions and encouraged me to be myself. But he was unable to tell me tiny little things (like that I spelled his name wrong in my contacts) or big things (when I discovered 4 months in that he went along with everything I wanted the relationship to be without telling me what he ACTUALLY wanted). How do we detect the avoidant people pleasers early on rather than finding out 4 months in that they could no longer maintain the lie they kept for fear of losing me?

My 1+yr relationship just got put on hold yesterday by me. He’d been dealing with unresolved pain from losses in his life and had been letting me know from time to time how he just didn’t feel he loved me enough. At first it didn’t resonate, because the relationship was incredible in every way. He was always thoughtful, loving, attentive. But kept feeling that his love wasn’t as deep as my love for him and felt sad because he said that I deserved better. If he hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have noticed, except that I was not feeling that he prioritized me like I prioritized him. We both cried all day yesterday in each other’s arms. He thinks that this break will help in healing. And I think this break will make him realize how important or not I am in his life. Regardless, I choose me first. Not gonna settle for less than I’m giving.

Definitely not 'in search' of these people, they just seem to be everywhere nowadays? Whether they're avoidants, narcs, or grass is greener types. If they're halfway decent looking with a passable personality they tend to fall into one of these camps. They are the types that probably wouldn't have the balls to chat a woman up in person but hide behind their phones, having multiple conversations with different people at the same time. In the never-ending buffet of easy sex on offer from apps it's virtually impossible to meet a loyal person these days because as soon as there is the smallest problem they will run back on there to validate themselves with a new person. The only way this can stop is if people start calling out bad behaviour but they won't because they are too scared of 'losing' the person.

I was in a toxic relationship for 5 years. That guy was ready for marriage. But He wanted me to wait for another 3 4 years. Its been so long we had been dating but he was so annoying sometimes. Whenever I tried to be happy or talk about something, he would always say something bad about it or discouraged me. Always stopping me doing something I like. I always said yes to everything he said just because I thought we would get married and I do not want to have anything to fight about. I had cut off my self from every friend just because of him. He would always say something bad about my friends too that would make me feel negative. I have endured a lot. At the end I decided to leave for the sake of myself. After breaking up with him, now I feel so light, I meet with so many people now, make new friends. But the thing is now whenever some new guy reach me for a relationship, even though that new guy is a good person, I have a fear because of which I cant openup or I push them away and that leads me to feel lonely. I dont know How can I feel better again. How can I be myself again How I used to be 5 years ago.

Thank you - i (male) had a difficult childhood, with a parent having affairs and then leaving to remarry. The environment i grew up in was very turbulent with a (rightfully) upset mum, who went through multiple boughts of illness..both physically and mentally. I do think this affects my attachment style. I have adhd and too much dopamine throws me out of sync massively. I met someone recently and we clicked straight away - it felt it was amazing, but after meeting her several times i dont know where i really stand with her and ive noticed anxiety creeping in when i was perfectly confident and happy with myself and my life before hand. I dont think she is emotionally available to me and the initial highs and subsequent lows of dating habe really effected me this time round, i think particularly alongside an increased amount of drinking i have really messed with my head recently.. i will have to find a better strategy as i am keen to date sincerely, and i dont want to mess potentially partners around, as i have in the past. Its certainly a harder process when you have good intentions than when you have no expectations and are casually dating to hook up, but this has hurt people in the past and I dont want to do that again.
