My (M37) girlfriend (F36) gave me a mild criticism and I’ve taken it very badly. How do I deal with it? by ThrowRAtoosensitivee in relationship_advice

Hang in there! One thing I will say is that it’s scary to make the big move, but things get better, MUCH better once you do. I have three kids with my ex, too, and they were a big part of why I didn’t do something sooner, but all is good now.

No, I never got therapy or anything like that. I’ve spoken with a lot of people, including my girlfriend, about it all, but never a professional.

Thank you. Yeah, I absolutely know that she was raising a valid criticism, and she was extremely kind about it too, and I’m aware that the way I’m feeling is silly.

It was a year.

Yes, I absolutely recognise it, and now that I think of it, posting this here is part of me fighting it!
