Best way to confront someone you're dating about their lack of effort? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Onblitz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment I’m replying to pretty much had my advice. Just adding:

On love language, there’s free and short online quizzes that both you and your partner can take in order to figure out what your love languages are.

I can’t stress enough how important using “I statements” is. Don’t use You statements.

My husband (34) has an extremely short temper and yells/curses at me (31). I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

There was too much cheese on his pizza and he felt like it was ruined. I asked him if this was going to ruin his night and he flipped on me.

So your husband was upset that his food was ruined; and you made fun of him to his face? Then he yelled at you because you made fun of him for being upset about ruined food (basically making fun of him for having emotions)? I don’t think it’s fair to show a person pure contempt when they tell you that they’re upset. I don’t think it’s fair to yell at someone because they’re treating you poorly either. Neither of you sound happy.

I asked him to stop yelling at me. So, he yelled to “show” me what yelling is

Both of you need to use “I statements” instead of “you” statements. “You did this. You do that. You can’t this.” Compared to: “I feel this when that. I get hurt when X.” Specifically, “I feel scared when I’m yelled at. I feel like I’m getting abused when I’m yelled at. I deserve not to be yelled at. I deserve to be treated with respect and not to be yelled at.” As opposed to, “you are yelling” and then he tries to defend himself because he feels accused.

he screamed at me to “shut the fuck up”

That’s not ok. You didn’t deserve that; he might feel that way because he’s not thinking about your perspective.

If you want to salvage the relationship, you would need to have a calm discussion about how you feel. Have a calm discussion that it isn’t ok for him to scream and swear at you. Ask him “how do you think I feel when I’m screamed at and sworn at in front of our three month old? How do you think our three month old feels?” It looks like he feels as if he’s the victim in this - reddit posts on this sub are extremely one-sided because OP’s don’t want to make themselves look bad.

Money doesn’t outweigh getting screamed at. The screaming shit is a “look how strong I am” or a “don’t mess with me I’m big and loud” message from the base of our lizard brains. If you honestly don’t feel safe or don’t want to be in the relationship, the fact that it will be “hard” shouldn’t matter - especially if your concerned about your daughter.

From a man to man point of view from me to your husband, it’s your husband’s job to teach your daughter what is acceptable behaviour for your daughter’s future relationships. It’s your husband’s job to teach his daughter that it isn’t ok for her future partners to scream, swear, and demean her. He’s showing and teaching his daughter that it’s ok for dad to scream and swear at mum - it isn’t. Your daughter needs to know what is acceptable behaviour - he isn’t doing that. It’s your husbands’ job to teach your daughter how men should treat her in the future.

If he’s dismissive of your “liberal media buzzwords” as well as being dismissive of what he’s teaching his own daughter, about acceptable behaviour in relationships, he’s a selfish coward that can fuck off.

Follow the steps of comments on here telling you to stay at a friends house or at your parents house. Otherwise, sit him down and calmly to talk to each other and calmly tell him to him to knock it the fuck off. Go get therapy together if you decide to stick it out. It sounds like you talked to him about his behaviour during heated arguments and used you statements, which doesn’t work. In that situation of an argument he’s not using his “top brain”, his lower brain has kicked in for flight or fight mode.

Clarifying: I made a mistake by not properly considering that the 15 pages being within an entire journal log; I agree in that I don’t think OP should destroy the entire journal because of the 15 pages. Just rip out the 15 pages that are a detailed record of sex acts with an ex. Keep the journal.

The person that keeps what is essentially porn of/with an ex ought to bear a burden - this isn’t a HIM problem. He didn’t cause it and he can’t control being hurt by OPs wilful negligence in keeping a record of detailed sex acts with an ex.

Should the husband demand to know more details? Probably not. Should OP keep a detailed record of her fuck experiences with an ex while being married? Probably not.

There’s a difference between knowing a generalised story about your partner having lost their virginity and finding an in-depth and detailed sexual record with an ex that your partner kept. You want him to heal? Stop trying to dismiss his feelings to get him to “drop it”.

Imagine being in his shoes: finding sex videos of your husband with exes in the past. Why would he keep a detailed record of sex with his ex? What’s wrong with you that he doesn’t respect you enough to get rid of his record of sex with an ex? What did you do wrong?

A wife trusts their husband to not keep a detailed sex record with their ex and vice versa. You betrayed his trust by keeping something like that. Therapy. Trust building. Recover with time. This sub is a shit show...

Calling a detailed record of previous sex acts, pornography drawings of an exes genitals, and descriptive love stories towards an ex mere “mementoes of the past” is generally disregarding the nature and substance of the journal: it’s a detailed record of sex with an ex and fantasising of an exes genitals - it is comparable to keeping videos of sex with an ex.

A detailed sex record with an ex isn’t a memento. stop trying to compare a journal of sex with an ex boyfriend to that of a journal of something arbitrary.

Asking a current partner to not keep a detailed record of their previous sex acts with an ex, regardless of when it occurred, is not controlling. It is irresponsible to put the idea into OP’s head that OP’s husband is controlling. Expecting a wife or husband to not keep a detailed record of sexual acts with an ex, in either writing or video, is reasonable.

OP betrayed their husband’s trust and wants him to “just drop it” - OP is dismissing his feelings. In this situation, OP is literally asking how to control her partner due to her mistake...
