@MikeDrewWhat@tparelli@xevekiah I would never tell my kids about how toxic their mother was when we were still married. If anything, I will share with them the positive memories as far as when she and I were dating, or very early on in our marriage. I'm not trying to create any more trauma for them.
@Big_Dreez89 What’s sad about adulthood is realizing some people never really grew up emotionally. They just got older and better at hiding it. They still avoid accountability, play victim, and expect maturity from others that they refuse to practice themselves.
@Grantstyle3@EuginhoCortez Exactly! Because if you give this type of woman the type of love women claim to want: behaving in such a way that makes her feel comfortable that you won’t cheat, show her you love her through romantic gestures and make her feel irreplaceable, etc. Ego of a woman > Ego of a man
@maereeam Commitment gives you backstage access to a partner’s flaws. Judging them while hiding your own is hypocritical. Comparing them to a new “option” is rigged: you're weighing a full list of known negatives against a blank slate. You just don't know their "negative" list yet.
The reality is…none of us are easy to be with. We all suffer from something so when you meet someone who’s willing to stay committed to understand you and actually want to grow with you, don’t let something silly like ego and pride ruin it.
@maereeam FACTS. People treat relationships like performance reviews instead of growth partnerships. If someone is committed and safe, don’t let pride be the thing that ruins it.
@Raindropsmedia1 It is a form of control or emotional boundary-setting that can range from toxic, manipulative behaviors to protective, defensive mechanisms against further emotional pain.

@Raindropsmedia1 Withholding, in the context of interpersonal relationships, is the deliberate or subconscious act of holding back, refusing to give, or concealing something—such as affection, communication, information, or validation—from another person.
@stfnigg The post is talking about the level of reciprocity and not the fact that there’s a reaction.
An example that may be more accurate would be if a man does something a woman doesn’t like she questions his masculinity or sexual orientation.
