To begin with ,Thank you for making such good content! personally I think that it could happen with everyone who claims to know a little bit of ourselves at a certain time of our life. Before having a partner I think that it happens mostly with our family or closest friends ,in fact we spend a lot of time with them sharing our points of vue in different subjects , but sometimes it just irritates me when my brother or a friend judges me for who I was without thinking of the possibility that I could have changed , things like answering at my place when I could clearly do it and on top of that with a false and past based answer I just can't stand this,or joking over my past habits.. it's like they are imposing us their own image and stopping us from changing. I do Understand that not everyone knows about our willing to change I don't really blame them ( although they could at least try to expect it ) I think that instead of just getting mad we should explain what we are felling and tell our partner if we got a new interest in something

Thirteen years into my relationship with my ex husband he made a comment (raised a concern) that made it clear he had an old image of me in his head, an image that hadn't applied for a number of years. I had grown significantly. I think he wanted to conceive of me as the princess who needed to be saved by a white knight for eternity. I never needed him to save me, but the idea that I didn't need to be saved (apparently a picture he had in his head) seemed to make him uncomfortable.

I was in a three year relationship that ended last year, and I’ve been looking at it carefully with hindsight. I first thought that it became toxic due to distance and deep seated jealousy, but now I see it’s also cause I was growing, as was she, and we both had this idea of who we once were and didn’t want to change that. Since our breakup we’ve both grown as people, and I’m now much happier with who I am, and who I have become. Thank you School of Life for your insightful videos.

@@dumfriesspearhead7398 Well I would agree with Your Favorite Lifecoach in certain circumstances, because in my experience, what is most frustrating is that the partner may suddenly disavow various things that brought you two together, that you may have thought the other partner also had a sentimental appreciation for. Sometimes, the partner changing looks a lot like self-loathing, and if they are shedding skins, you may become attached to the skin that was shed, and seen as an enmeshed part of their self-loathing, even if that's not what they intend to do. And the irony is, while, yes they are changing, they are not accepting that which led to who they changed to (and there's another video they posted on "Amor Fati" which is relevant to this ;-) ). And the thing is that those who are self-loathing also tend to be harshly critical of themselves, and their partner as well, which despite one partner is growing, they are implicitly not allowing their partner to grow. So really, I think it is possible and ideal to have a relationship like this, where you are both encouraging each other to change and grow, but it would have to be seen by both partners as growth and not a rejection of symbols of your recent past self. So as always, honest communication is what it takes.

This all depends on the foundational nature of the relationship, what it was based on to begin with. It's easier to see in families, the roles that different family members are assigned; the pretty one, the academic one, the sporty one, the artistic one etc with all of the assumed traits and interests that go with that role. But if one family member wants to change roles and be more truthful to who they are NOW, that often causes a seismic eruption in the familial dynamic. It will either (a) rearrange itself in response to the change or (b) resist to such an extent that the "role changer" leaves the family (physically and sometimes emotionally) altogether. It's similar in a relationship, albeit even more of a microcosm. Change is always threatening, which is why people prefer the status quo, even if it seems dysfunctional and disorderly. In a relationship, it could: (a) provide an opportunity for renewal and renegotiation, as the School of Life suggests; (b) try to resist the changes which are inevitable which ends the relationship swiftly; or (c) be seemingly static, not wanting to rock the boat, but in the end drift away to a permanent separation.

This could happen to all relationships. Not changing doesn’t mean not growing. Some people stick topreferences all their life from clothing, food, to vacation spots. They like familiarity and nostalgia. Nothing wrong with that. The conflict happens when anothe person is all about new experiences and new endeavors. I am The later type. The first type can irritate me at times but I always try my best to see them as steadfast and loyal, quality that is essential to build trust. Also, they are not unchangable, just need time and coercion to slowly bring them into loving something new.

@Cam-psychology3 жыл бұрын
So this definitely includes projection from my own personal situation so it it doesn’t apply take with a pinch of salt but I hope it helps. How they deal with a situation is outside of your control so ask yourself if you could feel like this with them for 5 more years and be comfortable/happy? If they don’t actively grow at all and they’re indifferent to your growth…You’ll know the answer better than anyone else can so be honest with yourself even if it’s difficult to admit, take any guilt that might come with leaving them completely out of the picture. Feeling stifled by someone can easily lead to resenting them down the line and although it’s easy to look at the lack of growth and get upset by how someone can live like that when we’re not the same, it’s our responsibility to trust who they’re telling us they are and choose if we take that information seriously and respectfully leave now because the info is there to see we’re on different paths or if we ignore it and wait for sh*t to hit the fan later and it affect our respect for one another. IMO it’s better to maturely and respectfully be honest about your needs now and have that conversation rather than leave it and let it ruin your respect for each other as things get harder and harder to ignore the impact of. Maybe the conversation will lead to more emotional intimacy between you or maybe it’ll lead to going separate ways, either way hopefully it’ll dig out the truth instead of continuing something that is already stifling. That is a huge problem if left unaddressed IMO.

You could have been in a family where you observed that when one of your parents had a new interest in a new activity, it brought on a big change in them (like new friends, new timetable, or an affair, or divorce etc) which didn't work out well either for you, or for your parents' relationship, or your relationship with other family members. And thus you become sensitive (in general) to change in others. I'm very glad to say that in our family, while there was change it didn't in general bring problems, so I feel quite OK with change in someone close (although I have experienced someone being "born-again" twice now, and that was always more traumatic - well, difficult-to-understand, certainly.)

Well, not partner, but my relationship with my brother and one of my cousins gets this way at times. My brother tries to keep me from growing by calling into question the authenticity of my reasons for doing things (to which I say, piss off bro, we don't even see each other that much anymore), and I find myself doing the same to my cousin. I'm trying my best to be better to my cousin.

Maybe you've outgrown the relationships.

This not only happens with our partner but is more notable with family members.

I feel like I lot of this is common knowledge or sense, and it goes back to don’t assume too much give the benefit of the doubt and accept people change. I like to see someone though define realistic meaningful change that would jeopardize a relationship. Sometimes change is just change and not good or bad for instance lately I’ve started to become equally a morning and night person.

This is why Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter broke up.

Wrong. They broke up because Mr. peanutbutter kept being romantic in a way he thought as romantic and not in the sense that would have appealed to Diane. He continuously did things ‘for her’ that he gets enjoyment out of rather than keeping her feelings as a priority. It just shows how different they were from each other

What is it called when your partner can only see the way you were, and won't acknowledge that you've changed? Like, if I used to be very impatient, but worked on it and am now drastically calmer- but they still do the *"you're never patient, you always ----..."* during fights, almost using it against you to strengthen their argument, completely blind of the change. Even though that hasn't been the case for awhile. And when you say, *"I don't really do that anymore."* They say *"Yeah, right..."*

Dear school of life, thanks for all the great videos you always post... I’d love to know more about 'cherophobia'
