I have a question about the episode 980: Sister Was Wild — Should You Adopt Her Child? | Feedback Friday and the clip Building Trust, Creating Space. My partner is not committed to me; he wants all the benefits but criticizes me when I make mistakes, saying that nothing is done properly. Sometimes he pressures me to know things, and under that pressure, I end up lying. Then he starts to abuse me. When I complain about his abusive language, he says that when you get sweet words, men can physically abuse and torture you, and you should find a difference. But I'm getting hurt by his abusive language, and he doesn't want to change it. What should I do?
Why has the dynamic changed in episode 254: Is Exposing a Cheater the Right Thing to Do? | Feedback Friday and the clip Dealing with Narcissistic In-Laws, where I asked her how she felt and she immediately sent me a long voice memo talking emotionally about how she's doing pretty badly? There was a time when she was always reaching out to me and genuinely attracted to me, but now I'm the only one engaging in text, sending her something, or asking her how she’s doing.
