In this episode, Elle discusses the importance of discernment in relationships and highlights the concept that "consideration is the highest form of love". She criticizes men who try to "teach" women a lesson, describing these actions as malicious rather than a sign of ignorance. Elle emphasizes that dating should be about observation, not rehab, and women should not feel obligated to mold their partners into their ideal man. She also discusses the harmful effects of accepting less than what one deserves in a relationship, using the phrase "he's not dumb, he just hates you" to illustrate her point. Elle encourages her listeners to command respect, compassion, and consideration in their relationships. She ends with the assertion that good men do exist and women should not settle for less.

I got a real life answer to the question "would you love me if I was a worm?". I got diagnosed with cancer at age 24 and I told my husband that starting chemo means: I bring no money to our family, I can't work or do chores around the house, I can't take care of our children, I will become "ugly" (I lose all my hair everywhere, am pale, gain weight etc), I don't want to have sex and my mental health can decline. He said "I don't care, all I care about is that you are alive." And he kept his word. He made 3x his salary one month and planned a vacation for us for when the chemotherapy was over. He showed me that even when I do NOTHING and am at my absolute lowest most vulnerable state he will still choose me. When you find a man who actually loves you for just the woman you are, all these below bare minimum men are LAUGHABLE.

​​@@CharlieApplesit could be multiple women when you really think about it. They will never admit this to you either they will just flip it on you and say your bitter and your just over reacting but a lot of them aren't equipped for a relationship and women are okay with that but what we're not okay with is them chasing after women that don't want them. They go way above and out of there league when they look for women too and I've learned the only way to reject them is let them down gently or lie and say you have a bf or your married. They want single women to be miserable so badly but the truth is there the ones that are miserable because they even find ways to get there mothers to hate us. Some of these mammies and pick mes are obsessed with these men too but there so worried about the pretty ones that are already attached to a man or gay. They want what they can't have and that's the real reason they keep getting rejected because there looking for women that don't match there lifestyles. There's plenty of women that still want to be married but they look for the ones that don't want to be married. Doesn't really add up.

I appreciate this theory but the women saying they're being "spoiled" because their boyfriend/husband cleans the house he lives in or washes the dishes he uses is very telling.

WOW the bare minimum

[@swordchild0013]

I dont think it is because they are doing basic chores as much as purposely doing them because they know their partner hates to do them.

[@thesevenkingswelove9554]

Yes it should be way more than that.. Like women of these relationship always do 50/50 so it should be a must they do household work. I guess the woman in the tiktok meant like it's the small things he does..? Like not necessarily just washing the dishes but doing the "nice things" without asking for it

[@unicorn73212]

​​​​@@thesevenkingswelove9554yeah I agree I wouldnt exactly call that spoiling a woman that's just called having manors having good manors is like the bare minimum for a relationship because if a woman were to do the same thing and spoil her bf by washing the dishes or cooking a meal you might not even get a thank you. You would hear something like, "it's great that you helped me clean today but...then he inserts whatever bullshit he can come up with that you didn't do to make you feel lazy or that you weren't fast enough. I'm not sure why they expect women to work like robots but you can tell some of these women are being brainwashed by them because they never totally compliment a woman anymore if you noticed whatever she does isn't good enough to please them but they still call themselves the more logical and less complicated gender if they were they wouldnt be so picky with women. A woman wouldn't think it's love now just because her bf brought her a cup of coffee which is sad if a woman interprets that as love. Usually when guys do that it means they want something from you in return too. It's very selfish and Im glad I'm not the only one that noticed this double standard.

[@AnusiaLA]

I’ve been vegetarian since birth. Was plant based for 6 years. My last boyfriend was not and hunts occasionally. I didn’t care but I don’t want to talk about it. He asked me multiple times to go on a hunting trip with him. I kept saying no. Absolutely no! He kept asking. I felt like he was just trying to annoy me. Then one day he described in detail how they’d release a goat and shoot at it and how fun and funny it was. I was getting upset and he kept talking about it. Then I got pissed and started crying. He was so shocked that “I overreacted” and “didn’t understand” why I was so upset. So glad I dumped his stupid ass.

[@toxihex876]

If it wasn't for my very similar experiences I'd have called bullshit on stories like this, but alas, it's actually common. On a brighter note, in high school I had a boyfriend who made me turkey sandwiches though he was vegan because he knew I liked them. I would have never asked, he made that choice because I'm a picky eater and he wanted to be safe. I also remember us sitting at his parents' place one day chewing on ice for an hour because we couldn't figure out what we wanted to eat. He wasn't perfect but stuff like that stuck with me. It's sad that mostly bad stuff stuck with me from most relationships.

[@HolisticManifesting]

My ex-husband would do this with pork. I grew up Muslim, so never ate pork my whole life, still don't just because. He was always trying to force pork on me, waving bacon in my face. Just nonsense. No respect because HE thought it was stupid. ❤

[@AnselSf1]

On a brighter note, and to show you there are good men out there: I am a pescatarian. I once was out with my ex-boyfriend who goes to the supermarket and does meal-prep on Saturdays and he was reading me his list of everything he needed and every meal he had in mind for the next week. I casually mentioned that I wouldn’t go to his house to eat that week (we both worked from home in our separate houses) because everything had meat. He was silent for rest of the car ride. When I asked what was going on, he said he was trying to memorize all the modifications he’d make to his meals, so every single day of the week he’d have something to available to offer me if I popped up for lunch or dinner.

Besides, trash men cheat on every woman, even like Beyonce or Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima. You see? The point here is to grow self love, self confidence and have discernment when it comes to who you should date. Never change yourself for some guy, it will backfire. Be your own dream girl, vibe and thrive and your partner will be scared to loose YOU!

everytime my grandpa went to the store, he would always call my grandma first and asked what she wanted. She would tell him. When he came back, he brought everything EXCEPT what she asked for. he did this every. single. time. this infuriated my grandma every. single. time. did he apologize? did he go back to the store and get what she asked? no, he laughed in her face and gaslit her literally into her grave claiming he brought "everything she asked him for." and she "never asked for any of that" "what are you talking about? you're crazy" my grandpa also brought flowers for my grandma for mother's day, their anniversary, and her birthday etc while simultaneously emotionally, physically and verbally abusing her every single chance he got. plot twist: he was also married to a WHOLE OTHER woman for 30+ years!!! and we never knew until that second wife called us saying she wanted to divorce him. best part? despite having two wives, he died alone. 💀 there's multiple layers but my grandma was severely trauma bonded and refused to leave him despite everything. growing up witnessing this, flowers don't mean anything to me. If anything, I've learned these bare minimum below low effort men don't grow up, they grow just grow old.

Narcs aren't very good at hiding. Psychopaths can be. That's when you look out for someone being *too* perfect. Never even making small, human mistakes.

They can't do things selflessly for others. It isn't in their nature.

I am convinced at this point that these tactics of weaponized incompetence, combativeness, gaslighting, withholding affections etc is the new type of abuse men engage in against women. Since it is no longer socially acceptable to hit women and call them bitches, these are tactics that modern day abusers have resorted to using to punish their victims (women). I suggest reading Lundy Bancroft’s book, why does he do that. It is an older book but still holds true. He goes into detail explaining that many men are socialized to see women as less than and dehumanize them. These same men hide behind childhood trauma and mental illness to enact their abuse, even though there is no evidence supporting that people who had difficult childhoods abuse more than those who didn’t. Trust your intuition out there. If something doesn’t feel right with a guy then LEAVE. These same guys objectify us and think we are dumb, we just need to stay on our toes and be aware of what constitutes abuse, it demystifies a lot of the confusion regarding men’s behaviors.

I am so sad that a man refilling a drink unprompted is such an upgrade for so many women. Like I have a female friend who is my roommate rn, we have no romantic or sexual interest in each other at all, but we literally make each other coffee and tea and dinner and pack each other's lunches unprompted. Sometimes we buy each other gifts just cause we saw something the other might like.

My mom and I recently talked about marriage issues and abuse that some older female relatives suffered. The conversation left me fuming and I told my mom that if my partner ever hit me or was an addict with little hope of recovering, I would leave. My mom seemed indifferent, as if… I was being unreasonable and too strict I guess? I immediately felt apologetic but snapped out of it. These things that we are supposed to tolerate run deep…

[@findingmyself2446]

Same thing happened with me as well. My mom was severely @bu$ed by my dad and his in-laws and back at that time it was so normal in my country (India) . When I told my mom that if my partner did the same stuff as what her husband did with her, I would divorce him ASAP and file a DV case against him. Guess what, my mom was flabbergasted and told me how these acts are against our Indian values and that a good Indian woman would try her best not to break a marriage :( Now, I get it ! Why India has the lowest Divorce rate (1% ) . Women weren't allowed to get educated so they would be financially dependent on their husband who would $u¢k the hell out of them.

I am 24. I have always done very well academically. In my country, they give you a gold medal for academic achievements at school, and I have that. I also had a full scholarship and stipend. Every time boys found out I was doing better than them or was more gifted they started the humbling. Every single time. At school, cram schools, science camps. I was not even being proud. I was just getting good grades and feedback. Before discovering that I was not a dummy, I was treated normally, and then the bullying would start.

Im staying here for my COMEDY career". I literally moved to an apartment in a dangerous neighborhood so he could have easier access to bars and clubs for his comedy. I let him borrow my car regularly, which he would abuse the use of. I helped him get his ducks in a row for shows.... And then he strung me along for half a year, making me believe that he would move with me if i left the city knowing full well he would never do for me what i was willing, and did, for him.

Years ago I dated this guy long distance (he was military). We lived about 5 hrs apart and he had no upcoming deployments, so he had the ability to plan forward to come see me/fly me out. He never did - I would always have to push the matter and constantly propose dates. He made it seem so complicated to pick dates (even though his schedule was technically more flexible bc I was working AND in grad school full time). He didn't plan ahead to see me on any "significant" dates such as big holidays or our anniversary, but took a whole week of leave time on a whim for a road trip with his best friend/roommate. After we broke up, within a month he was begging for me back and was SOMEHOW able to drive down for an entire weekend on a whim trying to win me back (in the past, he acted like traveling in that way to see me was impossible). He also mailed me multiple gifts (never did that when we dated).

[@coolbreeze5683]

Women need to apply stress to guys to see how they react to things. If they seem angry at the small things, run the other way. You also should see how they are when genuinely angry before you even consider a relationship with them. They could act lovely when everything is going well but if something stressful happens, you want to see what their true reaction is. If they react physically, like throwing toilet paper in the video, that shows when something bigger happens, they won't hesitate to do something even more violent. Even if they don't act out that badly, you can usually tell by the look in their eyes or sound of their voice what they are capable of. Never tolerate abuse of any kind! Genuinely compassionate and kind guys will not complain about being pressed by you because they will see it at an honour. Good partners love it when eachother has standards since it shows commitment and exclusivity. They want to grow with eachother and to also grow personally and emotionally for their own development. They will not lash out on eachother but think about how they can improve themselves to be better and more empathetic to eachother and their family. The guys you hear complaining about women being overly picky, etc. are the trashy ones you don't want in your life anyway.

If you're putting in the effort to make your wife happy, you're willing to listen when she has a problem, and are willing to fix your mistakes and grow as a person, you're doing a fantastic job. Of course, your wife should be doing the same for you, because you also deserve to be loved and respected. That's a strong relationship that will last for decades.

I have made many of the mistakes shown in these videos in the past, and it feels like a knife to the heart when I learn that my awful memory and absent-minded autopilot behaviors actually come across as genuine hatred. It's honestly really scary to know that at any time, I could be hurting someone I care about and never know until it's too late.

I think that art and pop culture has perpetuated the idea that women are an acceptable loss and collateral damage for men's journeys to a disgusting degree. There's a whole trope about this, fridging fenale characters for requisite man pain. When the overculture keeps reinforcing that women are innately worth less than men, where our pain is just a plot point, a lot of men will keep internalizing that it's okay to dehumanize us. ETA: When it comes to consideration and thoughtfulness, I hold any potential relationship to the standard I set for myself that one of my first boyfriends lived up to perfectly. Before our first daye he asked me if I had any food allergies or sensitivities, which I do, and pucked a restaurant where the risk to me was minimal, which my own family won't do most of the time. He brought me roses on the first daye and picked red because he hadn't asked what my favorites were and wanted to still be sweet, which was perfect because I love red roses and still have those roses pressed into a book. He brought a little plush Dalek on out next daye because I'd mentioned I was getting into Doctor Who and showed he apprecated and listemed to me in so many little and big ways throughout our relationship. The only reason we split was because we didn't want the sane future. He wanted kids and I didn't and it was very amicable. Last I heard he was happily married and has kids now and I'm so happy for him. So, yeah, if someone can't be bothered to even try to be half as sweet and considerate as that, I have no time for them.

[@SamBourgeois-mr4hq]

My first gf mentioned that when she was little she preferred to play house with buttons instead of dolls. While visiting an art gallery, I saw a display of antique button pendants in the gift shop. They were well-crafted by a local artist and appropriately priced; the silver was a bit steep for a student's part-time budget but I knew I had to get it for her. I bought it while she used the restroom and gave it to her for her first Christmas (she's Jewish). I'd never felt as appreciated as I did that day. I wish I'd stuck with her, but I was struggling with so much in other aspects of life and at the time I didn't realize I had ADHD. I broke down and broke her heart, and I still beat myself up about it. Now medicated and with therapy, I finally feel like I can handle work and a relationship simultaneously. It only took me ten years 😮‍💨 I guess my lesson is, if a guy is caring and compassionate but can't keep up, there's probably something else going on besides the relationship. I made the mistake of downplaying my difficulties, having taken on the stoic support role to a struggling artist. Mea culpa, but I can't help but think it was partly to do with idealistic gender expectations (which I put on myself, not from her). Even selflessness can be toxic masculinity. Men, be mindful of your mental state, and proactive about it if you start to crumble. You don't have to be a d**khead to lose your dream girl. Edit: Latin spelling is not my forte.

I’ve never been in a truly healthy relationship and I prefer being alone over being the sole emotionally intelligent person in a relationship. I treat my partners as kings and expect nothing less in return but haven’t had the voice or backbone to actually demand equal treatment, in the one relationship where I actually stood up for myself I was physically beaten into submission as thanks. I am emotionally mature and know exactly how and why their treatment is not up to par, but I also know that trying to educate grown ass men on their flaws will only teach them how to better hide their true self in their next relationship and I would be doing a disservice to the women with the misfortune of being entangled with these human sized turds in the future. I want them to continue having their red flags proudly flapping in the open wind so other women know to steer clear. I will happily live my best life as a single queen until a man can show me he’s worth my time. If I die single I’ll know I’ll die happy as the best version of myself.

Healing is such a wonky process! I have come so far in recent years (and even months) but I still don't know what to call this thing my mind does. Even when I see good men enthusiastically doting on their women, I struggle to 100% believe that men actually want to do things for women... Like that they genuinely love to love and aren't pretending and will eventually resent her for it. Idk if it's an oldest-daughterism or what, but the idea of me requiring anything from men still spikes my anxiety every now and then. I have a long way to go but the time will pass anyway... Thank u, Elle!

The toilet paper story is CRAZY

[@toxihex876]

Sad thing is I've heard of and experienced crazier. Honestly, it probably didn't begin there, since he had already told her there's no toilet paper and then got super annoyed she asked for a roll anyway so that's why he said no, and maybe in the least yikes case possible she had been doing stuff like that for a while, but even all that in consideration, it's still absolutely awful. Beyond vile. At most it calls for him going up there with a roll of toilet paper and jokingly teasing her with it for a few moments so she remembers it, not punishing her out of childish frustration to punish her.

[@metisellada2632]

[@xxnekonekox]

My husband has come into the restroom and gotten me toilet paper out of the cabinet under the sink right next to the toilet I am sitting on and have just pooped in, just so I didnt have to move and didnt give me any issue about it, what that girls ex did to her was abusive!

[@TheNinjapancake14]

Ok, the orange thing, idk 😭 because people would do this to me, asking for small but pointless favors consistently, not even asking politely, and I would still do these small favors because I was still learning how to learn how to say no. I have boundaries now. I say this as a woman, so I know the situation is different for men. Be careful that the man always agreeing is a genuine and secure man, not someone who does it begrudgingly. On top of that, don’t take advantage of men who don’t have a backbone. They are not the long term partners you want

My covert narc ex would totally peel the orange for me. He would use any service he ever provided as ammo to accuse me of being ungrateful if i ever called him out on any exploitation or gaslighting etc etc. I dont think there is a good test.

My spouse left during his favorite teams football game to go get me cheese because I ran out and I was crying and hungry. I didn’t ask or even hint at it. I just couldn’t figure out what to eat and he went with no complaints, no questions. Get yourself someone who takes care of you when you are struggling to care for yourself ❤ and do the same thing for them.

[@imna2122]

So I have this story about literally my first date ever... I was like 17. We went out and I was shy but mostly because he was so generous to me. I wasn't used to get gifts especially in an unconditional way. I always thought that I owed something in exchange to the other person if they paid for things. He paid for almost everything except at the restaurant when I forced him to do 50/50 and yet he paid a little more (I realize that I wasn't yet embracing my feminine energy at this time of my life). And I saw this video and it just reminded me that since birth. When my dad did something for me to help it was always with something in return or when he didn't really have a choice to take care of me or provide for me (that kinda hurts). He was never considerate in an unconditional and compassionate way and it led me for a long time to accept even a little less than the bare minimum. Now I grief the opportunities I have missed even thought I didn't know better. Definitely wished I was more receiving to acts of service and gifts. The overly generous woman never wins. I started embracing receiving more in the present and for the futur as well.

[@the.carp.show.]

Lol, my current partner knew about the orange peel theory before I did. We were in the car one time, me driving, she asked something about her drink (I don't remember the question now) and on instinct I opened it and handed it to her without really thinking about it which was more then her question. She was surprised as she wasn't even asking all that of me since I was driver but I still did so for her benefit. Now, this wasn't a test but it made her think of the orange peel theory and made her happy. Since I didn't know at the time, she explained it. It makes me happy to know I naturally pass consideration tests ☺️

[@savanahh2848]

a note about hanlon’s razor: it’s not about giving someone a pass for their ignorance, rather, about not taking it personally. if someone doesn’t treat you how you want, it’s likely harm wasn’t the intention, but that doesn’t mean harm wasn’t the outcome. so instead of feeling betrayed and letting it consume your mental, just walk away! being around stupid people who hurt you in their stupidity isn’t worth it like we always say, “don’t get mad, get paid” hanlon’s razor is just another perspective that helps us not get mad, and continue getting paid :)

"Now she has to go to the store herself"...Wait, isn't she the one cooking? If so, I think it seems fair that he takes Charge of the Shopping, it's no big deal

[@toxihex876]

My ex literally made me cry because of how incompetent he was. The kicker? He did it both because he turned out to be that stupid and because he was that inconsiderate. We were at my place and he was staying for the week. He had already done a few things that were childish and he knew I was annoyed, which was really sad because we had been laughing at how typical men can't even deal with life without a women mothering them, but it turned out he was talking out his ass just because he could cook a couple decent meals. The incident which broke me was when I went to shower and told him to change the bedsheets. I thought about telling him to change the pillowcases too, but I thought that would be absolutely ridiculous and an insult to his intelligence, so I didn't. And guess what happened when I came out of the shower. He had put the bedsheets on very obviously inside out (mind you he wasn't 12 but in his mid 20s) and hadn't changed the pillowcases. His reasoning? I didn't tell him to. I pointed to the pillowcase with literal huge bloodstains on it from where my sick cat had been lying (rip Amy) which he had placed bloodstain up on the bed, and all he could say was sorry. I literally felt like he had been doing this to spite me. He swore up and down that he didn't, but it seemed like a big joke to me and I started crying (mind you this was far from the first thing in just a couple days, for example one of the many others was him throwing an empty cheese wrapper on top of the drying plates and forgetting it there). He did quite a few despicable things too that hurt me directly that I don't want to get into, all because he was (and will probably always be) that in love with others pitying him and feeling like he can't do a single thing right. I see both women and men having valid problems while dating, but the minefield that is dating guys cannot compare. I see what it's like for lesbians, I've experienced what it's like for bisexuals, and I've seen the complete aggressive heterosexual male ignorance to all of it. Nothing I've experienced with women has been like the disappointment men provide. Even those who aren't anywhere near your average Joe.

[@pilarensi]

[@cosmickinks]

Yeah true … but maybe she meant it in a way to help? For example i was cooking, and doing laundry, I asked him to put the washed stuff in the dryer and start the new load that I already separated… this dope turned it on put the soap and dirty clothes and never closed the lid -_- Just the lack Of common sense man

[@taraaddams]

When I saw the title of the video I smiled cuz I realised he does it for me. Ofc while making fun of me for not being able to do it myself (he knows I can, but our relationship is based on banter after getting together after 4,5 years of close friendship). I'm blessed and grateful to have him 💌💕

[@Maclyn88]

Getting someone a roll of toilet paper has got to be the simplest, easiest favor you could do for someone, wtf 🙄 Unrelated to men, but I haven't talked to my parents in years since they wouldn't even let me do laundry at their house. I've been independent from them since I was 18 and joined the Army (I'm 35 now), and I have Never asked for money or Anything at all, so when I moved into a temporary place I didn't wanna deal with buying and setting up a W/D on the 2nd floor for just a handful of months, and living alone I only needed to do laundry like 2 or 3 times a month. So, when they said no and suggested there are laundry mats in town, it really, really hurt. 😶 I know it sounds silly, but I just felt left out in the cold during a blizzard, and I was basically asking for nothing from them. Like, I wasn't asking them to do my laundry, I've done my own since I was a young teen...I just wanted to use their machines for a temporary period of time before I moved across the country from Montana to South Carolina by myself. It's weird to think our relationship dissolved over laundry, but I didn't know how to be around them when they couldn't do me the slightest, slightest favor. Like yea, I'll come over and have dinner to hangout etc. and then scoot off to the laundry mat with my bags, baskets, and roll of quarters while sketchy, creepy dudes stare at me. I'm 5'2", 112lbs. Thanks a lot "Mom and Dad" 🥺 But it's kinda in keeping since they kicked me out at 18 for no reason whatsoever. I was a good kid.

I could be wrong and will have to watch it again, but I thought she didn’t put it on the list. He realized pumpkin wasn’t on the list, which is why he wanted to double check since he knew it would be an essential ingredient. If only from there he would have done the prudent thing and just bought it anyway!!! 🙄 like, he ALMOST could have been considerate if he had just gone that extra mile (and maybe even without calling her to doublecheck, although that alone wasn’t a bad thing). It’s like he wanted the credit for being “considerate and thoughtful” enough to think about it, but couldn’t actually follow through with a truly considerate act 😂😭 The incompetence!!! 🤦‍♀️ Edited to say I love your handle 🌈♎️😄

I had to double check myself but the sad thing I’m sure we both know people who would question their partner about the things they have on their grocery list, not buy it because they swear their partner is wrong, then make their partner go get it themselves when they realize they were wrong and not even apologize 😩😂😭

[@antoniaabraham1346]

You explained perfectly what I personally went through; he's not dumb, he just hates you. I went through a relationship for years knowing this deep down and chucked it down to my partner just being ignorant. I felt like I was not extending grace by having expectations. This validates the fact that the relationship inherently made him a better person and partner. In hindsight, the lessons I learnt will make me wiser in my future relationships and I would rather wait till I get an accountable and compassionate partner than one that I just become character development for. I, like many other spoiled girlie, are not giving trees.

Girl at 5:28 is so wise with how she describes this equity in relationships. 7:06 - And talking about the need for repair: "The red flag of failure to repair.

Oh, and the weird need to not be a threat to a man's ego at the end, yeah yikes.

I wish these videos existed when I was in my early 20s. I dated a man for 3 years who refused to work, took all my money, went out to bars every night while I slept for work at 6am the next day and when I asked him for flowers bc he stopped doing them after we became official we either fought about how expensive they are when he just bought himself some Nikes w my money, or one time he took my debit card went to the store and came back with the most basic flowers and threw them and my debit card at me and said “here’s your damn flowers are you happy now?” And I thought that was normal, I thought I just wasn’t a good enough girlfriend back then.

[@AngelaLochCross]

Glad we have this to watch now. I'm in my 50s and my mom is in her 70s and we both watch together and wish we had this kind of validation and the language to verbalize when we were in our 20s as well, ESPECIALLY for her as she seemed to choose the same man, different name every time. The gaslighting was far worse back then when we didn't even know what it was and men had ways of pitting women against each other so we wouldn't even communicate with each other to compare notes and recognize the oppression. We all thought it was just us. So crazy that we can get so beat down we think that is just how it is, that it's just how love is. I hope you know it was never about your worth and that you're in a better situation now where you're appreciated, cherished, and spoiled, even if it's you doin' that for yourself.

[@Winterbree]

exposing myself rn but I recently cheated on my ex and I’ve felt terrible about it because no one deserves that but with talking to my friends and getting in touch with my feelings it was because he was constantly failing me in the simplest ways, choosing his friends over me, not showing up for me in ways he did in the beginning, and just constantly letting me down so when I felt heard by someone I emotionally cheated with him and this video really drives home that he really did hate me but didn’t want to end the relationship. quite literally when I broke up with him he said he saw it coming and I’m just over here like “if you saw it coming, why didn’t you talk to me, why didn’t you try to do better ????” I had actually made the decision to try harder with him before I cheated and knew I had to leave after it happened. Like I’m a villain but it hurts to really hear this cause it resonates so much

[@Winterbree]

that being said I did love him and I have been wanting to get back with him cause we were together for 2 years - anyway sorry for the trauma dump

[@toxihex876]

I had an ex who was the same way. He hated me because he felt like I was too good for him and constantly tried to undermine me, and even when I cried he kept going. One time he told me he knew I'd eventually leave him and was enjoying the time he had with me, and ironically this kind of insecurity was why I broke up with him. Looking back on it now I realize he didn't hate me nearly as much as he hated himself. He did apologize to me months after we broke up since we had the same friend group, possibly knowing what he did, but it didn't matter. I thought it would, it didn't. It's best to simply avoid anyone who displays any kind of red flag. It's better to be alone than to chisel at your ability to form bonds because of trauma others will put onto you.

[@carmy2155]

I’m ngl. You shouldn’t have cheated - that was a shitty thing to do and nothing will take away from that. HOWEVER, it’s good that you realised that your ex hated you and left him after this. I’m sorry, it sounds like either way, the outcome was going to be messy. But at least now you can take some time to recover and go over the warning signs so it doesn’t have to come to this if, god forbid, you get into this kind of dynamic again.

[@kindnessfirstandlove2192]

I have to agree with everything Carmy ☝🏻 said. You already know you should have handled that differently and regret it and all that, and what’s done is done. If applicable, try to move past any guilt and shame and work to NOT have that dynamic in your future relationships. In an otherwise reasonably mature, monogamous relationship, cheating rarely ever happens just on a whim for no reason (ok, EXCEPTING the inexperienced, inconsiderate, immature, selfish, etc. player types- nuance and all that!) There are usually deep rooted issues at that point that have not been communicated for some length of time. I’m not excusing the behavior, but when you examine the why’s, It’s obvious you had a dynamic going that wasn’t good for you, and it resulted in (presumably) your actions not being aligned with your higher self and ideals. Definitely spend some time sorting this out and cultivating love, respect, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness for yourself so, just for one thing, you don’t enter future relationships in cycles of shame, which ultimately just results in more of the same hurtful behaviors in ourselves that cause it to begin with. And therefore, attracting the same behaviors and attitudes in others towards us. And by hurtful, I’m talking as much about how our behaviors hurt ourselves as well as others. The relationship we have with ourselves will often be reflected in the relationships we have with others. Choose how you treat yourself wisely. Find your worth and self respect and align yourself with it so you attract others that will see it as well. You say you want to get back with him because you were together for two years? Obviously I know it’s more complicated than that- but you might want to unpack and critically exam this, sis. Truly- why do you want to be with someone who didn’t want to be with you and didn’t show you love and care in the way you need? Who didn’t know their own self-worth, therefore acted accordingly? Who didn’t do better when they felt you slipping away? Who didn’t bring out the best in you? Who left your heart yearning? These things led to you seeking elsewhere- (not putting the blame on him for that specifically and you know you are accountable for that, but he’s to be accountable for his part as well, because his actions played a part in pushing you away) Are you carrying guilt and engaging in some type of self-punishment? Are you trying to somehow make amends for your past or thinking you can change his behavior if you can change yours? If so, you can’t- he was showing you the signs and the dynamic was set well before you made that particular very human mistake. Seriously- is the version of yourself you were with him the one you want to nurture and cultivate? You strayed for a reason- and that’s because you had a heart yearning for something you were NOT getting from him. Do you think you aren’t worth the love you desire? Because you are. Act like it 😉💖 Again, not excusing anything, but it’s important to examine why and to compassionately explore the reasons so you can transmute that experience into wisdom that will help you evolve into the person aligned with the life and love you truly desire and deserve. Not trying to psychoanalyze or anything, and I don’t mean to sound presumptuous or disrespectful or anything like that. I’ve just made my own past mistakes and had a horrible relationship with myself, and I just want to help. I hope you figure things out and that you grow and thrive 💖 Edited for clarity

[@saraheb5080]

He would have cheated first ngl. It seems like he was just keeping you around cus there was no one else, same thing has happened to me. Once you feel like you’re only their choice of entertainment when there’s no one else you need to leaveee.

[@daisybella]

I’m inspired by my parents to find love. My mom is the breadwinner in our family but my dad is very considerate. For example, he knows she doesn’t like driving so he drives her to and from work everyday. He also drives me and my sister to and from work and school. He always knows when I don’t want to do my chore of the day and does it for me. He goes out of his way to make it up to me when I’m upset at him. With my mom, my dad listens to her every suggestion. He renovates our house exactly as she wants even if she changes her mind weeks later, picked up a part time job when we had visitors staying over indefinitely, and makes sure to consult her with everything. Even small things, rubbing her feet or bringing her more wine when they’re sitting on the same couch, he really does show every day that he loves her and his daughters too Sorry if this is rambling but Elle is really inspiring me 😂

[@snailart9214]

I think this is really important. My partner is disabled, and while he has a job, it's been hard for him to find a job that he really enjoys. Anyway, even though neither of us make tons of money - he saved up to take me to San Diego to propose. Like if he loves you he will be considerate to you in any way that he can - and he will make you feel loved in any way he can. He has bought me art supplies because I teach art, and I like frogs and he has bought me silly little frog things. ACTUALLY WHEN I'M BROKE, he makes sure to get me food or will pay for my coffees. I drive, again, because he's BLIND, but he pays for gas and gets me little treats. because he had to be so independent he is really really really good at saving money too, in ways that I'm not - like we opened an account to go back to San Diego and I wanted to add to it - there's already like $1000 in the account i dont know how he does it. I grew up in a farm in a really traditional way, my dad worked and my mom stayed home. That's definitely not the exact path I want, I think I'll always want a job, but it's more about the love that my dad had for my mom. He got her 180 acres of land, and again, he's not a rich man. If they want to they will, they will find any way to do it. The point is it doesn't have to be that whole "traditional wife" path that's taking off, when you're really really in love it doesn't totally matter what "roles" each partner takes as long as there's deep love and consideration.

[@rosecm77]

I have 2 bfs (poly) and they have made me feel so seen and loved. I get migraines very often, to the point where I'm bedridden at times. These two men have taken turns bathing me, helping me get dressed, tucking me in bed, bringing me soup (bc they know I can't stomach much solids with nausea), water, and painkillers. I have seen them RUN to get me painkillers when the ones I have run out and I'm crying from the pain. Never have they made me feel like being sick is an inconvenience to them. If your bf gets "grossed out" at the mere mention of you needing more tampons, that's not a relationship you should be in.

[@Oxellee]

I think we should give people grace - as in be understanding and kind. It doesn't mean we have to tolerate bad behaviour and let it repeat forever. Even if a person is a little dumb and doesn't mean harm, they will correct their behaviour once called out. Malicious people won't. They will keep doing the thing and claim "they don't mean to, they're just a lil stupiiiid and you should just let it sliiideee! "

Yes. That was the concept that gave me clarity. I always felt not seen by the guy. I'm not a pizza fan. He buys all kinds of meals for himself, but when he says he's bringing me dinner, he brings generic pizza. I realize he stopped at a strip mall that has my favorite takeout chicken. He didn't think to get it. I support his band by buying tickets to their gigs. They're small-time affairs. He doesn't think to text me that a gig is starting late or it's a BYOB. He never socializes with me at the gigs, it's as if he doesn't see me at all. The one time he came to talk to me at a gig, he was c8ckblocking. Another man was chatting me up, he engaged the man and led him away to "talk business". When I later pointed that out, he said he didn't remember. And though I stopped bonking him years ago, he's still dealing out slights.
