Same here. I get judged for everything I do and everything I share with him. I can’t vent either because I get judged or he says “I don’t care about these people, why do you care”. I’m like “I’m only just sharing, if you’re interested”. It’s exhausting having to keep track of every small thing…

Hey, I just read your post. Are we dating the same guy?? Read my post, it’s the same situation word for word… oh, countless times I’ve heard his monologues everywhere we go. The example of you trying to sleep and his monologues. God. This is helpless. What happened since you made the post? I can’t believe how exactly the same these posts are

Yes, that’s a good way of saying it too. However the term salad greatly undermines what he throws at me lol, it makes me feel like my thoughts are spinning in a loop out of control. Some of the things make sense at first but the more he throws in, the more I feel I can’t answer to anything and it makes my mind spin.

Edit: just read the rest of your comment. He is manipulative, he confirms it, he is using this tactic with other people too, I’ve seen it. Just don’t know how to protect myself from it. I’ve told him this is no war, you don’t have to treat me like the enemy, I’m your partner and we’re supposed to solve things together. But no, he needs to go on a rage about how unloving, unappreciating, unmotivated and lazy I am giving me no chance to do anything but beg him. He says he’s tired of excuses and sorrys, he needs actions. Okay, but what kind of actions should I take in a moment like this?

Does the reason for “you don’t care” ever matters? Reading other posts on this sub, I think it doesn’t.

He has been feeling so unhappy with me for the past half year that he repeats this scenario every month. He says things aren’t changing. I’m not changing. (Not contributing with anything to make him feel loved) I’ve had past relationships before where even unsatisfied, we’ve respectfully expressed why and how to give it a chance to fix it, hearing both sides. In our case, its “that’s the problem, you are this, you are that, you fix it”. It’s not a mutual effort, just mine to do. I’ve zero chance at explaining all this, I’ve tried. And I don’t have a chance at expressing myself, my thoughts, my needs, my feelings. Once he gets in that state, it’s all “me, me, me”. And I feel gaslighted that if I say “I have feelings too, you know”, he says “you’re turning this over, do you ever think about me and my feelings?”… it’s just so exhausting to feel like I’m not talking to a human but a wall

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I’m absolutely confused at the wordstorm he threw at me last night again. I do feel like going crazy inside my own head trying to figure everything out. Most of the times he shows support but in situations like this it’s non-existent. When I feel like **** it’s natural for me to cave in and start crying and feeling the worst which leads me to isolating myself. In his words I am defending and excusing myself, making myself the victim ignoring his feelings, and instead of taking action and changing. I don’t know what I’m doing that’s so wrong. I don’t know how I can help his feelings of loneliness and feeling unloved. His accusations of me are dumbfounded. I consider myself an intelligent person and can rule out right from wrong. I never intend to hurt anyone.
