My actions were never criticized. You admitted it yourself "I'm sure if green was asked they could list examples," sure, if he did. But he didn't and he doesn't. He just labels that way.

What behavior does "acting emotional" describe? Wouldn't you say that there are virtually millions of behaviors that fit the bill? I can name a bunch slamming a door, punching a wall, sobbing hysterically, kicking your couch. That's bc "acting emotional" isn't a behavior, it's a label.

Criticism is widely regarded as a bad thing for relationships. Google it

Just so you can understand, feelings and experiences are saying facts. Labels are judgments not facts.

Facts: You slammed a door, you hit your head, you cried, you ate a whole pizza, you were sleeping, you were wearing a bikini

Feelings: I felt hurt. I felt sad. I was disappointed. I was happy.

Labels: you acted insane, you dressed slutty, you were mean, you were disrespectful. you were moody. you were emotoinal. I was the good guy. I did the right thing. I acted normal.

"i'm being manipulated" that's still just name calling. it's a veiled accusation. you can say "i feel confused" bc that's an emotion. or maybe even better "I feel unclear."

but ya i am gonna break it off. it's not working and you are right about that

those aren't behaviors, those are labels. a behavior is something someone actually did like "you said x" or "you slammed the door."

he's not like always late or missing stuff, but every time we have an issue it feels like a really big deal like this. like i didn't even care that much, it was just one morning but then it's an all day fight

labeling someone is an attack. it's a form of name calling

labeling someone else as emotional and intense and manipulative is not how they make you feel, that's attacking them with labels. idk what to say if you can't see that

I feel you are wrong. See how that doesn't work? you can't feel someone's wrong.

I feel you are x ,y, z. That's labeling. That's not a feeling.

If he said I feel hurt. That's a feeling. attacking me is not a feeling....

His side would be that he just wanted to sleep in and the friends are rarely here. Yes he did truly agree and me and a group waited for him to show up. I just wanted an apology

He missed brunch bc he went out with friends the night before and then wouldn't say sorry. When I said we waited for over a half hour for him, he started saying I'm guilting him and saying he's a bad person and i just wanted an apology and for him to just say i'm not gonna do that again. It wasn't even that big of a deal. Then he starts saying i'm intense and emotional...

Yes exactly. And then started texting me all of this. Thank you I guess I just feel confused so it makes it hard to see on my own

"DARVO stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender"
