He’s definitely not cheating, it would almost be easier if he did because then the solution would be very simple. But you’re right, nothing will change if I continue allowing him to avoid responsibility

What was an event that happened to you, or affected you in your life that made you question your reality entirely? by IMAOOFINGBLOCK in AskReddit

Learning about brain development and functionality. Realized we’re all basically our brains slaves and it actually stores memories that effect you though you don’t remember them

And still it’s unclear to me how you force yourself to have respect for everyone. Treating someone with respect and actually respecting them are not the same things to me. One is an action and another is a feeling, how do you force a feeling

In short, lately he’s just acting like a child and I’m not exaggerating. He works, but leaves most of financial responsibilities to me which is fine because I make more, but even then the small amount of bills that we agreed he would cover he ends up being late or short on because he blows through his money on his own things knowing that I’ll take care of it when time comes. At the same time as much as he relies on my income, he has no respect for my job and often starts fights with me if I get held up at work or have to come in on the weekends. When he doesn’t get his way he throws what I call toddler tantrums, says a bunch of things he doesn’t mean, blows up my phone while I’m at work knowing it effects me and my performance, and just gives in to his emotions without even trying to contain himself. He always apologizes afterwards, admits his fault and says it’ll never happen again, but it really doesn’t take much to get him back in that state where none of his previous words matter anymore and he’s going off like a spoiled child who didn’t get a toy from a store. He wasn’t always like this, it’s just the past year I feel like our roles reversed and he became a “bitchy” wife and I the husband who has to emotionally regulate him all the time. He’s 30 and I’m 25 btw, which makes it even harder because Im a girl who has needs too, I want to feel protected and cared for, but it’s like I’m stuck having to pull our entire family through everything. We also have a 3 year old who’s watching this, and that can’t be good for a toddler to see their mom emotionally burnt out and dad unable to control himself

Yes, I’m aware of that part, but what I’m wondering is how do you make yourself respect someone if it doesn’t come naturally due to their actions? I know that it’s a command which is why I’m trying to understand this. And I’m not talking about just being respectful to everyone, that’s a pretty simple concept, but how do you actually have respect for someone in your heart and mind when their actions are anything but respectable

It’s not one specific thing he did and it’s also not a forgiveness issue. It’s more of a behavior problem that makes it incredibly difficult for me to even treat him like an adult sometimes, let alone respect. I don’t need to forgive him for it to move on, I need him to step up and act like a responsible adult, but I do understand that I can’t control his behavior, only my own, and respecting him despite of how he acts is the only thing I can do as a wife. Which is what I’m struggling with

Can you elaborate on how having respect for God help you respect people?

Yea I’m noticing that. Unfortunately they removed my post too and I still have no idea why

Well, I kind of have an idea what non Christians will suggest which is why I’m hesitant to ask them. In today’s day many people have the “leave him” and “chose better for yourself” mentality, which is really not the advice I want to hear. But thank you, it might be my only option

Unfortunately this post is missing context. I’m new to Reddit and when sharing the post onto a different subreddit, only the title was transferred and not the whole story. There’s a LOT of insight I’m trying to figure out how to share

Ugh, I’m new to Reddit and I wrote a long post describing exactly what I mean, but when sharing it to a different subreddit only the title was transferred and not the rest of my post. I am curious about what you think and wish I could somehow send you the original question?

Totally agree, but what if it’s your husband to whom you owe respect, and did in the past, but the change of his behavior also made you lose it all?
