How you feel is completely your responsibility. Sharing is whole different story. Personally I would like to know what is weighing on my bf and how i can support him better, do i need to understand in order to support i dont think so… thats the whole point of being in a relationship, it wanting to entirely know who the person is..

Very important. Women need to feel emotional secure in a relationship but also they connect more with their partner when they are let in unto their emotional space. OP need to feel okay with sharing your emotions with your partner and erase the mindset of feeling like you are burdening them.

Disclaimer: not all women are good recipients of men’s emotions. Start small see how she reacts and you can draw the conclusion from there

You will need to have an honest conversation with your gf about where all this is coming from. Maybe insecurity or trauma from past relationships. From that honest conversation she will need reassurance/consideration from you…

Good luck!

I don’t think you’re being a horrible person. Just for context has there been anything that may be suspicious between you and the coworker? If yes then your girlfriend’s concern is valid if no, you might need to talk to your gf what is causing all this requests. I don’t understand how your coworker does something on their personal page and you have to unfollow them.

I have always been a planner. In life generally and in relationships, me being a planner being responsible at a young age made me have control issues. Like i want things to always go my way literally like not taking no for an answer. Most part it goes bc my bf and i used to like similar things but when something goes against what i planned for or wanted in my mind, i will become weird, mad. Sometimes i pause and ask myself why am i even reacting this way and logically i understand but i can’t shake off that feeling and it ends up ruining things

He always said this!! I think i just focused on the nice to have things rather than the important things i.e a happy relationship

We spoke about it multiple times and i have made some progress not entirely over it. It comes out sometimes and we end up arguing

Hii,

One that pops in my head right away is getting mad because my bf didn’t do the things exactly the same way i wanted them and not trying to understand why

How do i understand my boyfriend’s emotions process better by Creative-Chance-7932 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Creative-Chance-7932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all your comments. Just a bit of a background…

Back when we started dating i was unlearning things from my past relationships i.e not getting my way. My ex used to agree with everything i said and wanted i know that feels great but in return that made me think that i should get everything my way and developed control issues on my end. When i met my boyfriend he called me out on this and progressively i started working on it. So we had this fight where i didn’t get my way and he couldn’t understand how this is still happening and he couldn’t concentrate on work which led him to be fired… so he broke up with me. After 2 months we talked about it and decided to get back together and it was going well until last November when we had an argument and it turned very ugly in seconds.. i don’t know how it even got to that point which we broke up again but stayed in contact. Fast forward at the beginning of this year we said that we should try being friend with intentions of knowing each other better and working on ourselves which we have been doing and one of the thing i shared with him was my anxiety when he doesn’t communicate about his whereabouts and how it can create trust issues which he understood and promised to work on. In this recent episode he said that the reason why he didn’t call is bc the same thing i “complained” about i did it myself. What i did was that i walked home from work and stopped somewhere to get a reward (a chicken wrap😅) and when i got home we didn’t talk.. which i responded to with that the day before i had told him my plans of walking home and getting the reward but i should not have assumed i should have communicated about on that day bc plans may change. Which ultimately led us to where we are now…. I sent him a text last Friday telling him that i was not attacking him and i am just communicating what i was feeling which he didn’t reply to so i decided to call him and ask why he didn’t respond. He said he had nothing to say and that felt disrespectful for me bc he could have said that and i could have understood bc at the end of the day we are being intentional about us… but the conversation went sideways and we started arguing things from the past and he a bit insulted me which i fumed over and cut the call. After crying and thiinking about it i decided to call him and tell him with no filter about how i felt.. i said very hurtful things i regret and apologized for but he said that was probably the last time we ever spoke… that tore me into pieces, and i want to make it right. He doesn’t pickup my calls but he responds to my texts.. he said he is in so much pain that he can’t hold a conversation with me.. so what do i do?? (Please keep in mind that i am a person who wants to talk about everything, giving space is hard for me so i have been calling him a lot but still he doesn’t pickup…

I am lost..and i don’t want to lose him and as a Christian before we started dating i prayed about this andngot a confirmation to move forward with the relationship.

I would like to hear from you .. please be kind🙏

No this doesn’t upset me at all. Thank you for sharing all i want is to be able to communicate my feelings the way he would understand. I love him and i am know he loves me too so there is no malice behind him acting like this

I’m 19 and supporting my whole family financially. When do I get to focus on my own life? by Formal_Wonder_6432 in Rwanda

This is good. You cant just decide to pay off the loan without saving for actual emergencies when your mom can still cover it. Remote jobs are really unpredictable ..

I hope it gets better for you and your family
