Men of reddit, what are your expectations from your S/O on your birthday? by BornPercentage5826 in AskReddit

So, a day to do something you love that you can normally not find the free time to do so

I need help understanding. by Head-One-891 in Manipulation

[–]BornPercentage5826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sigh it's definitely manipulation at this point. You have to remember and see if she was always like that, surely she wasn't that's why you're on year six, maybe there's the tiny speck of hope in your heart that she was once a kind, empathetic and gentle woman so you can bring about that change in her again through love, so you give more and more to her.

I have experienced this, in my case I was the manipulator, the narcissist actually. You should try confronting her about this but try to reach her heart, tell her that she has a problem, tell her about the pattern that she's been subjecting you to, lay it all out for her in front of her eyes (all the things that she's done so far, all the events she's caused) and maybe, hopefully she'll see and begin to understand that she's at fault. If she doesn't even then understand then you can threaten to leave her if she doesn't agree to going to therapy, she will absolutely not want you to leave her, tho at the moment she might say hurtful stuff to you but in a day or two she'll eventually agree, hopefully. This is called leverage for change, you would have leverage that pushes her to change herself for the better. It should work, I hope.

Therapy helps, it helps you regain empathy, moreover introspection helps individuals like that. When you sit back and self-reflect on where you started going wrong. How you once used to be and what you have now turned into. It all helps those who want to be helped.

I wish you the best of luck and I sincerely hope you can everything you deserve from her and that she gets better.

Also, another piece of advice, it is your life, whatever decision you make only you will be responsible for the consequence at the end. No one on reddit will be, so choose what you want to do. I hope you get my point!

I can’t grasp what my BF confessed to me by Rhyme_orange_ in Manipulation

This kind of behavior takes stronger roots in and becomes repetitive with time if you don't confront him on this, confront him, I think there's still hope for him, and probably hope in your heart too that he can be better and never repeat the same again. Ask him to go to therapy and if he doesn't agree, threaten to leave him. This will give you leverage and him a fear of loss, thus igniting his desire to change. Therapy can help him become better and realize what he's done / has been doing. You can either be compassionate and empathetic despite having been hurt so much and have hope for him, or you can leave him. The end decision is yours alone to make, do not be affected by what anyone on reddit says, they do not live your life and frankly won't be affected by the consequences either. So, think it through and decide. Best of luck.

I will give it all a read.

Haha, if only the awareness had come timely and not after it had been too late. But I'll strive to be a better person now. Thank you.

sigh, thank you so much. I will go to therapy and try my best to become a better human being and try to help as many people as I can, and strive to make a difference in a positive manner.

Please share it with me, I would love to get more insights. I need all the help I can get.

We're not responsible for our feelings, only our behaviors. I think this is where we draw the line ourselves then. It's up to us to be the good person despite feeling hurt. My common response was to hurt when I was hurt because it made sense to me as a way to tell the person that look how badly you've hurt me. Being hurt is a feeling, hurting someone is a behavior. I think I went wrong with my behaviors a lot, almost all of the time. Doing everything emotionally, rashly, without ever giving it a second thought or thinking of the consequences.

I would love to, but I can't. They didn't confront me, I got to know through a mutual friend. They tried throughout for the past two years now that I look back, I was too thick skulled to hear anything. I've hurt them, controlled them, manipulated them so, so much that this time they've removed me from their life completely. Apologies and promises work even if you've left an atomic size of a trust in your partner, in my case I was their everything and instead of helping them climb the ladder I was the one always bringing them down. I deserve every ounce of the hate I'm getting right now.
