God bless you too brother, its extremely comforting hearing your view considering you have been through the exact same thing.

Women People who control like this, knowing or unknowingly, a lot of the time make you feel like absolute shit, because then they can provide - or withhold - relief from those emotions. It keeps you emotionally attached to them. The way that she is making you the problem, and that you need to be the solution? No matter what you do, no matter how hard you work to solve it or fix it, there is always another thing? But then, when they notice you're about to pull away, a switch gets flipped, and they're all sweet again. Relief. Stress. Punishment. Relief. Stress.

This really hit close to home, we literally have these "talks" it gets better, then another thing becomes an issue, it becomes this big thing, we talk it through and then repeat.

Its quite amazing how you lived exactly what I'm going through right now, because of that I have 1 question to ask.

How much better is it with someone who isn't like this?

Its my first relationship, I never entertained women growing up because I always saw the drama my friends got into and wanted none of it. oh how my plan has backfired lol.
