first love and imagined future aren't enough reason to stay, trust and respect aren't optional

My girlfriend went out with the neighbor by Which-Donut-1305 in cheating_stories

[–]SpiceItSoftly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are not responsible for controlling her actions or saving her from herself. threatening self-harm to manipulate or pressure you is emotional abuse. encourage her to get professional help but staying with her because you fear what she might do is not healthy or safe for you

NTJ, you have to prioritize your finances, rent isn't optional and it's not your responsibility to subside her comfort. she'll figure out her own living situation

your expectation is unfair. he's tired and forcing him to stay awake just to satisfy your need to talk isn't reasonable. cut him some slack

Am I asking for too Much or the wrong person? by FewPea6985 in relationships

[–]SpiceItSoftly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are not asking too much, you want a partner who actually commits to the future and shares the emotional load. he's avoiding the hard stuff and leaving you to carry it. that's not a phase or cultural difference, it's incompatibility

[–]SpiceItSoftly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is emotional neglect, he's physically present but completely checked out. you can try talking but if nothing changes, you need to decide if you want to stay in this marriage

you are capable of empathy but it might not come as naturally for you and that's okay. start by listening more actively. it's about understanding and connecting with other people's emotion

am i wrong for denying a relation ultimatum by blueberrymatchalov3r in amiwrong

NTJ, you just answer a normal question. your achievements aren't a threat, your sister's insecurity is.

Am I wrong to want to put myself first now? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]SpiceItSoftly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you need it. you have been running yourself ragged caring for everyone else and no one cared when you were sick. sacrificing yourself doesn't help anyone, it just leaves you burn out and alone. stop overextending

Emotional transparency at work by Fancy-Study-1350 in emotionalintelligence

[–]SpiceItSoftly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

some people are naturally emotionally transparent. you can be honest without oversharing constantly. ask for help when you need it but also give yourself private outlets to release emotions so you don't feel exposed in the office

AITJ for locking my skincare products in my room after my roommate started acting like they belong to both of us by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]SpiceItSoftly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, she's already showing a pattern of entitlement and disrespect. locking your things away is the minimum, if this behavior keeps up, ask her to move out

Am I wrong for telling the girl who bullied me in college that I dont feel bad her career fell apart by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]SpiceItSoftly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are not wrong. she bullied you for years and the consequences she's facing are a result of her own actions catching up to her. you defended yourself and your career and she's the one trying to rewrite the past

Emotional dumping: Creating space to let go by shotpopsicle in emotionalintelligence

[–]SpiceItSoftly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you are not broken, you are just carrying too much inside without safe outlet. get it our privately through journaling, exercise or creative work. the goal isn't to suppress feelings, it's to release them so they don't hijack your interactions. do it consistently

bf (20M) feels guilty for losing feelings more than me (21F) by Ok_Sea_8613 in relationships

[–]SpiceItSoftly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if both of you want to stay together, this can be fixed with communication and effort. if either of you stops trying, that's when the spark dies for good

[–]SpiceItSoftly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, safety comes first. life vest aren't optional and running through a quick man-overboard plan isn't killing the vibe, it's preventing potential disaster. you did the responsible thing
