Jordan Peterson - Make YOUR RELATIONSHIPS last FOREVER by DOING THIS

Healthy relationships treat arguments as a time to communicate their feelings. But some couples treat arguments as a time to attack their partner which Dr. Peterson says isn't right. So here he discusses the right way to argue with your partner to make sure you guys last a lifetime.

Jordan Peterson is the reason I was able to walk away from a 17 year toxic marriage. I was married to a narcissistic person that was badly damaged before we met she hid her damaged past years went on we got married and had kids the mental abuse started off small just nit picking and eventually became a daily routine where no one could do anything right I knew she was sick and had issues but I prayed that things would get better they never did i loved her deeply and I still do I wanted nothing more then my life to get back to how it was . it took many many years of abuse and listening to Jordan’s Peter Pan theory on repeat for months for me to realize the life I was living was nothing more then a bad fairytale and it was never going to change and the mental abuse had killed the person I used to be .

[@zoaco8607]

@@piragerindrajabar1036 they have no empathy for others and seek validation from others instead of love, their friendships are just manipulated people to get what they want. They think they are special and that no one understands them. When they meet someone like them or special in a way they will be attracted to them because of envy, they feel like someone finally understands them. When u are in a relationship with them they tell you “you’re gonna leave just like the others because you will get tired of me” but saying that is the very thing that pushes them away because you enter the conversation with the idea the other is going to leave, its an argument, a heated one. No empathy also means they don’t care about others so they use them to get money, reputation, etc selfish goals. They will bully someone just to bring themselves up a little. But the secret is deep down they are vulnerable because they don’t know who they are, they have lived violent trauma, and need validation from others to stay sane(feed their ego) Also very antisocial, meaning they don’t care about social norms, any rules, they takes unnecessary risks (ex driving fast), can be suicidal or depressed as well. Basically they use lies, trickery, cheating(unprotected sex is also predominant act) and bend reality to get what they want because they think that they are the center of the universe and that others are just tools at their disposition. All psychopaths are narcissists but not all narcissists are psychopaths, and psychopaths aren’t all murderers, they just have a 🧬 gene that stops them from processing serotonin as fast therefore their empathy and sympathy wss not developed in their brain as a baby. So they cannot care for others. Sociopaths is similar except its not a gene 🧬 its the environment(growing up) or trauma that made them lose empathy. So there ya go. Stay away from those people because they know how to act as if they cared… but they don’t, its just a mask.

[@zoaco8607]

Also in almost every case they are not even aware of their condition, they have great suffering deep down inside because they feel like no one thinks like them, they know something is wrong but don’t know what it is. Its sad because their whole personality is based on this narcissist view confronting them doesn’t work, its too many things to change at once, they will either get agressive or just not understand

It gets better from there...and respect goes a very long way. Hope this helped someone.

Imagine a relationship where both people could be humble and mature enough to share with their partner what they want and need. To then express how they feel when the need isn't met and to ask if their partner truly understands what they're wanting, needing, or how it feels when that need isn't met? Imagine the partner confiding can turn to a partner that can also be humble enough to communicate and work to understand their partners needs and show effort to actually meet those needs. Maybe both could look at where the disconnect might be and mutually work to remove it. Imagine not have so little respect for someone else or for yourself that either side would call the person stupid.. maybe dont marry a person who would act like this... hhmmm, thats just crazy talk..

Agree, we shouldn't ever call people stupid, it is in the Bible, but unfortunately not everyone acts in the way we would, the way we would expect them to and is not willing to change. It all depends on the other person.

[@parrsnipps4495]

Most couples argue to hold their ground, to be right, never wrong & this only acts to reduce the love the other person has for that person. If, when the other person is angry about something, give the reason they describe some thought. If its correct, then admit you made a mistake, apologize & you'll find the other person loves you even more, because you put their feelings 1st, not your own & that's how love builds. I finally got that in our marriage & we've now been together since 1987, married since 88. You have to be careful with this that the other person is a sincere person, not a manipulator, but as long as the other person is sincere, then it works both ways. Some other time your partner will admit wrong doing & you'll notice how that builds your love for that person. It's just natural that people will step on each other's feelings & there has to be a way forward or if it can't be resolved, it reduces the love you both have until it eventually fails. Remember, loves builds through adversity or diminishes.

[@skelley164]

Ron, wow 5 months is a long time to be in patient (I’m assuming) rehab for D&A. My best to you. I just relapsed after 8 years of solid recovery. Now I have to start over again and it’s gonna be a challenge, there will be suffering, mental and physical pain, and everything else that comes with withdrawal and early recovery. I’m happy and proud for you. Do not stop or let your guard down for an instant. Use me as a reminder to make it your purpose in life to help others and you’ll be safe and secure in your new way of living free from drugs and alcohol. Pray to your higher power to put someone in front of you that you can help every morning. It’s amazing what can come from that one act alone. Great job brother. JP is an amazing person who’s helping me also as I begin my journey back to a clean and sober life. Remember, “ every bottom has a trap door”. I just learned that the hard way. Best to you my friend.

[@surv2239]

Tried sharing, tried defining my desires, gave much positive response to the tiniest nice behaviors and still got shot down, devalued, lied about to family, friends and aquaintences. The entire time I was giving credit where credit was due for about the first ten years with absolutely no reciprocation. It wear me down to the point where I made a decision to stop and fight. I changed everything about myself that ever brought me happiness and he never changed to do good for me. He left continuing to lie about me and except for the people who saw his true colors, I have had no support or comfort. Therapy and directional counciling only work for those who really want what they already have. If they made up their minds say one day after marriage that they really didn't want you then the war has begun and no telling how long it will take to destroy the union that is why a man is to leave his father and mother and cleave Only unto his wife. Simply put happy wife leads to a happy life.

This is what I haven’t been telling her. She didn’t listen she wanted her way and she wanted to be that way as soon as possible without caring how I felt or what I delt with all she wanted was to make sure she was happy and she got what she wanted. After putting me through hell for years and I stayed by her side. I struggled and she left expecting me to put myself together after she broken me. I noticed it’s and it wasn’t fair. So I pushed myself back a little because I wanted her to appreciate and love me for me and for what I could provide at the moment. Instead of loving the idea of who she wanted me to be. I do things for her and the next day she will forget and ask for something different. Never really appreciated the fact that I got her something. She cared more about what I get her. And that hurt me and brought up a person of me that had only anger. And tired of being pushed around. She noticed I stopped trying. And i know it was not the right respond but it was how I felt at the moment. I did things here and there because I really do love her. But I stoped doing big things for here because she never appreciated me

Our feelings often lie to us and keep us stuck. Acknowledge the feelings but don’t use them as evidence for what you can/can’t accomplish. You Can start making your own changes for yourself. Don’t focus on Their changes. That’s a guaranteed lost battle, and that is a battle for them to put in the effort on. That particular battle is out of your control. Focus on the changes You need and want to make; and then make it happen. Start taking those steps… that is how you train Them. By first being the change you wish to see.

It takes two to tango.

They just won’t do it. What to do? WALK AWAY and don’t turn back. Living with toxic people is a horrible situation, so don’t stay too long with someone like that.

[@jerrymcdaniel6643]

So clear and concise communication

[@jamesnm21]

The key to this like Jordan says is that being patient is ANNOYING and triggers defensiveness, blaming etc. Many people can't catch themselves in those crucial moments or don't even recognize when they are having one of those moments. They need a coach to stop them and coach them through those moments to train patience and suppressing negative outbursts. It's a battle of mind over emotions because negative emotions make people feel devalued and makes them want to give up or deflect the negativity to the other person instead of explaining those feelings and asking for what they need.

[@igornovakovic6725]

Here is a very simple advice for every single person who truly wants to attract someone into their life to love them unconditionally like a life partner. Write down a 5 values from 1 being most important to 5 being least important. For example 1 being family 2 being money 3 being work 4 being travel 5 being education. For each individual it’s different. If you would like to know what your values are just look where you spend your money during the week where your money goes if what you value most. Also wherever you take most action in life is what you value most. Things you like you gonna wanna do easy things you don’t you gonna tend to avoid and they are low on your list of priorities. I hope you understand what I mean exactly. So your values will show you what’s really important to you a lot of people I work with want a partner yet they don’t have relationships or partner on their list of values or things they priorities. Wanting something from your ego or your head is different than actually taking action on it or prioritising it over other things you actually value more than what you thought you wanted. The reason you write those values down is simple awareness exercise to actually help you see what’s really important to you. Because you might think you want a relationship but you actually don’t because you aren’t ready and that’s ok and you actually realise that there is other things more important to you right now than a partner. First get clear why you want a partner or relationship and also get clear on why you don’t have a partner on the first place. The reason I say this is my partner and I have been together for a while now we don’t compromise and we don’t sacrifice in a relationship. We both have same values and RELATIONSHIP is number 1 to both of us. So when you have two people who have the relationship as their highest values they don’t need to sacrifice or compromise because their life just aligns without those two components. When we need to work on our relationship we don’t compromise or sacrifice because we both have that as our highest value. For people who have travel education work or career as higher than relationship of course they gonna sacrifice and compromise because RELATIONSHIP is so far behind what they actually prioritise. I really hope people understand this concept and what I’m actually trying to say. Hope this helps to someone who reads it and helps bring some awareness into their life so they can understand their partner and themselves a little better. Have a lovely day bless you all

[@lucidstudious750]

Every day for a full summer I used to talk to this old couple for years (I was 17 now I'm 19). I'd wake at 6, swim in the lake, run around, then around 9 I'd go talk to them until 12 or 1pm. They have been married for 55 years (88 year old and 87). They told me their life story, how they met etc. It's actually a really beautiful story but the thing that stuck out the most to me to this day is what they said is the definition of true love: "true love comes out on your worst times". It can be kinda corny for some people but it really changed my perspective of "love" it's easy "loving" someone when everythings cool. Think about someone you really love like a mother, father or brother. Even after you fight eventually you're back to good terms again and IG that's a part as to why these familial relationships last. Sadly tho I moved to another country so you can be sure I was balling my eyes out last time I saw them

[@jeffhyman5878]

Very smart and thoughtful understanding of the way, human behavior can work in relationships. Listen to Jordan, his thoughtful expression is like a dance.

[@AmareProfunde]

Question: is wanting to be acknowledged by your partner when you walk in the door really a sign of insecurity? Or is it a sign of valuing the person's presence rather than acting they don't exist. Maybe it's just me but whenever my partner shows up I'm always happy to see him and greet him and I'll stop what I'm doing for a moment once it's feasible to do so.

[@mixedupmenopausaladhd3999]

No it’s not a sign of insecurity. It’s a sign you’d like to be met with the presence and regard for eachother’s existence which is presumably foundational to the relationship. If you or your partner is slipping into the allure of media oblivion, it’s essential to point it out.

Why would I be with someone who calls me stupid? I would never be with them. I would never treat someone I love like that.

People need to think with their brain and not with their hearts.

[@satsumamoon]

First I cried, then I did a Johnny Depp and laughed at it all. I clean the house top to bottom every week on the same day (as dictated by my partner) only to have him find a crumb or a tea leaf to complain about. At first I just tried to point out "I cleaned the whole house, you say nothing about that , you only complain about a cup left out? " His response was that he goes out to work and so he is entitled to expect I do the housework -properly. I hated him being so nasty to me so For weeks I tried harder to make sure everything was perfect....I caught him looking under rugs to find something, then I discovered little traps he would leave lying around like walnuts under the bed, tucked into hard to reach corners. This was about the time I started searching the internet for help , I wasnt sure....was he abusive? I researched what abuse was, and that led me to narcissism. I researched hundreds of hours and became more and more certain he had NPD...then perhaps some BPD ...maybe histrionic. Its been ten years of learning to understand these things, and learning how to deal with them. Im ok now, I can live with it. I can accept the way he is and keep my own happiness. You see, we cannot blame them for our misery when it is our own responses that are the real cause of it.

[@satsumamoon]

No. Not at all. I figured out how to live alongside a pretty disturbed individual (because I had no other option except sicide or homelessness). I don't feel powerless ,anymore. I used to at first but I realised that was a learned response fromchildhood that wasnt appropriate. I empowered myself with education and insight , I did the inner work on my responses to the situation and changed them to more functional/effective coping strategies.

[@lesliecasey780]

You deserve to be with man who comes home and hugs you and says how lucky he is to have you.

[@satsumamoon]

Thank you. At my age, and without the ability to look after myself financially, i make the most of life, whatever that life is. Ive learnt to focus on all the good things. I take care of me on the inside and he takes care of me on the outside. Id like to mention that his behaviour has become an awful lot better the last year or so and Ive been able to figure out how to help his state of mind rather than take it personally and feel attacked. Its how youd take care of a dog from an abused shelter . I know so many people say its not possible to fix NPD , and that did give me a lot of doubt ...but some parts of it are being fixed. He is coming to loose his paranoia or belief that every thing I do is bad/done to hurt him, and he is praising me and saying thank you for things, he even tells me how nice it is to come home to a clean house . He does complain a little when he finds a tea leaf but he doesnt direct his complaint at me like a weapon....so something is going on there regarding taking the unfinished job as an insult and his ensuing desire to hurt or punish. The silent treatments ended some years ago. There are lots of narcissism traits that he has lost and although he cant be too close or intimate he has begun to feel trusting enough to come for small hugs. The saddest thing for me is that he had no idea that he is (so )damaged .

It's perhaps 300% easier to point out mistakes, issues or negative things rather than talk about positives. A failure of routine is that negatives can become a routine to notice far easier than positives. Learning to celebrate the little positives will help a lot. Learn from my mistakes of talking about the negatives way too much. Choose to participate in your partners life.

This was very helpful! I remember something my family and I use to do when I was a kid. Everybody wants to watch a movie. But my mom would like one thing my dad would not like that at all nor would I. It works any which way you work that problem. So a solution we came up with was this. 1 person on movie night (which we rotated so we each could have a turn) would pick 5-10 movies they would like to watch but knowing that we may like them as well. Then out of those picks the next person would make a selection of those movies they would like to watch, typically 3-5 movies and the last person would make the final selection on the single movie we would watch. This assured we were all happy to watch the movie that was selected. I think this could work in relationships as well. It doesn't have to be with just movies. They could be choosing the restaurants or bars or maybe even the activities. This way your both on the same page and would be glad to do what was chosen. 🙂

Say nothing do nothing. Look at your spouse with love and kindness. Not using the story in your head. Egoistic mind will bend everything..

[@GoneCarnivore]

Yep. People need to stop trying to change their partners. These confrontational situations where you want to mold every aspect of the relationship is counterproductive

[@lisalanden]

I love this and everything Jordan Peterson says. Sadly, some spouses don't care what the other spouse needs, regardless of how the information is relayed. If they don't align with their own needs, they don't change. Some spouses just want attention from themselves for themselves, or from porn or Facebook. Selfishness is the ultimate destroyer of relationships.

Happiness comes from within. Women get with a man and want to start changing him for their own happiness and in the end you won't respect him for the man you made him into.

Unpeel the WHY with your partner. Ideally, both people (within reason) strive to satisfy the other partner’s needs.

[@cchemmes2096]

I like Jordan Peterson a lot. I also think it is so great to help people consider how they are ruining their hoped for outcome by fighting.... Along with this, I must say one problem I have with 'I have a peculiarity/ greet me when I come home' is that it is a mode of interaction that takes control of the other person, & directs them how to act & treat you. That is just a bit off to me. I think that would work IF you first agree to run your relationship that way- open the door for letting each other know your 'love language,' & when you feel loved & what is done where you don't... at a set time, for both parties. Otherwise, you could also get the focus off yourself, & "do unto others as you would wish for them to do to you." How about, when you come in the door, you decided, "Yes, connecting is important." So YOU make the effort, to go show your great joy to see THEM. Ultimately, it will create a great dynamic, that will feed in a positive direction, so it is not a loss if you focus on your part, what you can give.
