Just for a change, I wanted to offer you a short, snappy blog post. If anyone needed a sure-fire recipe for an emotionally abusive relationship, this would have to be it.
- Make excuses for your partner’s bad behavior, time and time again.
- Take sole responsibility for making the relationship work.
- Tolerate your partner making hurtful remarks about you.
- Give the relationship one more try, and then another, and another…
- Focus on your partner’s potential, not how they usually behave in the relationship.
- Always ask yourself: “Is it my fault?”
- Repeatedly allow your partner to override your wants and needs.
- Treat yourself like you don’t matter.
- Tolerate drug, or alcohol abuse, or infidelities.
- Constantly tell yourself you can’t leave because you’ll never find a partner as wonderful as this person who is making you miserable.
This nasty little recipe is guaranteed to produce nasty results, every time – as you know to your cost.
