How To Interact With An Emotionally Immature Partner | Emotional Immaturity In A Relationship

[@dymiz100]

I’ve gone crazy bitter depressed and ugly for focusing on them . It’s a lot of work once the vicious cycle became habitual. I’m depleted but I now know I’m only am responsible for my own happiness and how it impacts me.

[@nicolelauderdale3919]

Oh - this is too relatable and I can’t believe I didn’t catch myself before I feel back in my own maturity or skill set to handle this situation

"I am willing to continue this conversation, in a tone of respect for each other". "I understand why you see it that way, however, I see it differently". Keep in mind, this video will only work on a person willing to do the work. It has ZERO effect on a narcissist, and will actually cause more upset. Best advice: 1) know yourself 2) know who you are in a relationship with. So many comments of people saying...I was married 50 years, and I never understood him/her, until it ended in divorce. Too many people, not doing the work to understand.

I like this phrase

[@dymiz100]

I became as immature feeding into it because I have severe emotional dysregulation. I finally recharged my visiting family, and I will not let that happen again again he doesn’t deserve it. I don’t deserve it as humans.

[@nicolelauderdale3919]

This is me right now . I feel so defeated that I’ve given into my own immaturity because I thought I had healed from what caused me to react to such behaviors. I am at now trying figure out how to stop this loop and get back to myself . I feel like if this behavior isn’t changing we have no business to be together . I don’t. Want to go backwards for some one who refuses to move forward even one step

Your voice is awesome! Thank you for your encouragement. 🙂

I was so emotionally advanced as a kid ...cannot say that now..wish I could get that wisdom back

[@NovaSky333]

Ahhh I really wish I had access to this information before my partner and I got into our last argument😢 I felt attacked and reacted in a way that I am not proud of. We’re no longer in contact and I’m positive our relationship is over. There seems to be now space for conflict resolution at this point

[@lisbethjohansson3530]

The best explanation and advice ever. Thank you so much.❤😊

[@brig3408]

I appreciate the clear and specific way you explain concepts in your videos, Dr Steinborn. At 63 yrs old, I'm grateful there's still opportunity to learn more about agency and make relationships richer, deeper and more satisfying in future. Thank you!! 💐

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Aw, thanks! I‘m glad my videos resonate with you and that you’re getting something from them. Yes, I think so, too: life is a continuous learning opportunity ✨

Thank you for your advice. Your explanations sound very clear and easy to follow.

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m glad this was understandable 😊

[@yvonnealkemade5473]

It's off topic, but wowww!, what a beautifull entourage and background did you create for this video! Love it. 😊❤

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Glad you like it ☺️🙏🏻

How about when he doesn’t want to discuss?

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Usually people block off discussions about emotions when they fear they'll be overhwelmed or criticized. It might help, if he can make positive experiences with talking about emotions first in a more general way, so he can trust these kinds of conversations knowing he won't be shamed.

[@yumildarodriguez1175]

She is amazing 👏

[@JeffreyTress]

[@andreashulten2161]

Thanks dear Maika! Really helpfull!

I'm married and my wife has an Avoidant attachment style. Emotionally she is immature. Do you have any presentations on Avoidants?

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Not yet, but it’s a topic I want to create videos on! Do you have any specific questions about avoidants?

[@Apbt-rv7zw]

@DrMaikaSteinborn What helps Avoidants heal. My wife has done endless therapy and in all this therapy to my knowledge was never treated for avoidance. Typically she also has depression which seems to attend Avoidants??? Depression always got the attention and never the attachment style. What actually works for Avoidants to heal as I know she struggles to self reflect and lacks maturity to see how her actions impact our relationship.

[@Apbt-rv7zw]

@DrMaikaSteinborn Paulien Timmer, who is a Fearful Avoidant (Disorganised), has a KZbin channel and had tried much therapy. Recommends EFT (emotional freedom technique), which is a form of tapping on acupressure points. Her claim is that this therapy had the most benefits of any therapy she had tried. My wife, who is 45 years old, has been to therapists for the past 20 yrs and all to no avail. She is despondent and also addicted to her attachment style because nothing has worked to date. Compassionately, I really feel for her, but realise our relationship can not continue in its current state. I want to reiterate that I love her dearly but fate atm has sealed our marriages end unless (divine) help comes to intervene.

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Thanks for elaborating - I'll create videos on this in the coming months!

[@Liopleurodon09]

I love this❤

[@emersonkerin7046]

What if my partner is not giving this same energy back? What if I use this advice and these tactics and he doesn’t reciprocate?

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

That's difficult... I'd need to know more details, though, to share any more detailed thoughts... All the best!

22 years ago, I was in a relationship with an emotionally immature girl. She was 17, and I was 20. She was forcing me to become vegetarian as she was, but I refused. It was really difficult to spend some time together because she refused to eat outside in order not to see people eating meat or fish. I admit that I was immature as well, even if never in an emotional way. Maybe she was giving me some signs to change but I did not understand them at the time, thinking about it right now. I have a lot of regrets about not being prepared just like I am now. As far as I know, she lost herself after our break-up. I say sorry If I already wrote it earlier, I saw a lot of videos about this topic and I do not remember which one of them I have replied to.

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

This sounds like a difficult relationship and experience. I hope eventually you'll find your peace with it. 🌸
