My girlfriend recently broke up with me, and I feel lost and am struggling a lot.
I have a question about this episode 1093: When the Hunter Becomes the Honeypot | Feedback Friday and this Family Dynamics Unraveled. 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?
I have a question about the episode 423: Love, Relationships, Giving And Receiving and the clip Secret Sacrifices. In the first weeks of a relationship, I think my mental health struggles, especially with procrastination and avoiding hard tasks due to stress, will become apparent. I'm a young, honest person, so I plan to tell my partner what I'm going through emotionally and mentally, including the traumas I have and the toxic environment I come from, with narcissistic parents. However, I'm concerned that sharing this with my partner will turn them off, as I've heard from some of my girlfriends that they don't want a whiny boyfriend. Can you explain in detail how to approach this situation and communicate my struggles without pushing my partner away?
