It will inevitably become very difficult to be kind to a self-centered person who is unkind to you, but you can alleviate any feelings of anger by focusing on the person you are and continuing to like that person. Any world religion can put one on this path like a train on a track. The thing is all the signs where there and I just dint listen it took him to atually scream at me that I was too ill for him to be with! It is hard for self-centered people to have a real sense of empathy.

It's a way of rationalising things. If you manage to settle down with one in their thirties you'll still spend time tinkering with their training wheels, coaching them through their careers, mothering them, and responsible them into the men they want to be. But sometimes you may be an honest person and you may attract dishonest people. Some unaccompanied-searching may u you la north state elements. Happy only when the center of attention, no matter at whose expense. How can I become more social-connected. It felt comfortable and natural. Have compassion for them since they usually have had a past that created a wrong type of self-protection mode for them. Read the signs guys and respect her space. They're not interested in a regular, normal, decent guy. This may seem north a strange combination but the frugal side lets me live a low cost life style that allows me to have the time and money to be a digital artist and the psychology side allows me to have healthy relationships.

For the discussion here — instead of laziness, oft times failing to put effort into a relationship could be a red flag. The problem is--no one can always be the focus of attention.

One of the things that I consistently say about healthy, positive relationships is that it takes two people with both of their feet in it to make it work. When one person is a solo thinker whilst the other person is thinking as a team and trying to make up for the other person not pulling their weight, it cannot work. I remember doing a project with someone at university and she slacked off and of course took the credit when after I stepped up and compensated, and then we got a high grade… It was a deflated success and I realised that not only was she taking advantage of our friendship and my conscientiousness, but that I had allowed her to and assumed that she was on board the way that I was on board. You both existed before you met. If you cannot identify who you are and merge in your personalities, characters, interests, desires etc, it is very easy to become lost and co-dependent. It is really important in relationships that you keep your feet in reality. One of the key reasons why we can find ourselves in dubious relationships is that no matter what we believed the person or the relationship to be at the outset, we have received contradictory evidence that indicates that we need to adjust our perception of things, and ignored it. Even if at one point you were on the same page, sometimes things change and if we keep on blindly assuming, blindly trusting, and blindly loving, we miss problems that are right in front of our faces. When you build your existence on another person and effectively have the sun rising and setting on them, it creates an unhealthy balance and puts a huge amount of pressure on the relationship and the other person because you have no personal security. I regularly ask people what their interests are, what they desire, what their goals are etc and most of them have become lost in the other person and have lost touch with what they want. Even as a mother, I know people who base their entire existence on being a mother and then gradually as the child grows and has increased independence feel totally at a loss. I even know people whose personalities disappear with motherhood and they find it difficult to identify with their partner and vice versa. People who want to be with you will not run the risk of losing you. For those of you who genuinely want to find compatibility and love, I suggest you find a good running mate; a good team mate. If they want to stay on the team, they have to and have little or no for it to work.

No wonder I always felt so alone in the relationship, I was the only one who was really there. These past several posts have really made an impact on me. So true NML, so true. To simply put it, it is us learning to say no. To be honest I have been on both sides I have been both the reluctant and willing partner. UA started mirroring many of my own issues, instead of running I stayed and watched his lack of willingness unfold…and for a while I did things only on his terms. I was unhappy with what I was getting…. I soon understood how frustrating it must have been for the person in my previous relationship. I am struggling with that right now. Sometimes what is called laziness is differently motivated — but I think much of the time the issue is really rebellion, opposition to the task or project. Disrespect for the one that initiated the project, distrust of the goals or some aspect, perhaps personal antipathy to those involved. Maybe a passive-resistance kind of rebellion as a plea for attention or validation. For the discussion here — instead of laziness, oft times failing to put effort into a relationship could be a red flag. The offending party might not be interested, might not care, or possibly is afraid of what the relationship is or where it is headed. Lack of effort might be a reasonable choice, given a different agenda. Plotting,planning,scheming,over thinking,waiting,playing games,while all the while living out this fairytale in my head that one day in the future of gaga land, we would sail off into the sunset together and be the perfect, passionate couple. I think I even had the orchestras and violins ready as well. Or perhaps aware of it and continuing his lazy ways, cos after throwing an odd hizzy fit here and there, I was normalising and accepting his lack of effort. Thank god I have put those days behind me and thank you Natalie for reality reminding me and keeping me grounded by posting these great articles. Over the past 5 years he has managed to manouvre both her and me into a position where we both give him exactly what he wants, all without seeming to actually DO anything. I realised many years ago that I was the one putting the effort into everything and he was along for the ride so stopped, and he quickly found a more accomodating replacement. Of course to these men this is a sign of total adoration and love, and a cue for them to treat the woman badly, they know all too well that she is well and truly hooked. I read something a long time ago which also explained the dynamics in these relationships very well. Imagine yourself in a rowing boat, rowing towards this excitement or that one, and your partner is sitting behind you, VERY happy to be rowed to wherever. Then stop rowing and imagine what will happen, you may drift, you may drown, for sure you will not go forward, your partner is probably asleep or even worse has jumped out to be with someone else. It speaks volumes about the other person and the type of relationship you have. And so predictably, you or she keep rowing around in circles. Ive been in an awful relationship for 3 yrs with an addict who last year went into recovery. Anyway we split last August, I got into another thing v quickly then finished it. The thing is all the signs where there and I just dint listen it took him to atually scream at me that I was too ill for him to be with! To be honest I dont blame him, I dont love myself anymore, I dont know who I am or how to fit in with anyone. How the flippin heck cld I expect him to love me. He was out within 3 weeks of coming back, but I just kept clinging on and explaing and convincing him. Nicola I really feel for you and I hope that you are OK. These things are incredibly painful and it sounds like you got lost in your feelings. I think that instead of knee-jerking into anything else, grieve the loss of the relationship and understand why you felt the need to try to help an addict — what were you trying to heal within yourself etc. Step back so you can get some perspective. It struck me on two levels. The first, I once was the exception to the rule. A major exception to the rule. At the time, I read all the statistics and I thought, hmmm maybe, but HE will leave her for me and he did. Well, I am here to say becareful what you wish for because it might come true. Being that coveted exception has brought me over 10 years of misery. Not because he is an assclown, at least not the kind we discuss here, but because of all the baggage he brought along with him. It has been a living nightmare. The second, as I recover from my experience of being an exception, I have found myself wishing to be an exception again. Who am I kidding besides myself? Does lightening strike twice in the same place? Who wins the lottery twice? And yet, I cannot convince myself I will NOT be the exception this time. Moreover, this new guy is an assclown in the truest sense of the word. I think that what I am trying to say is that I really understand how hard it is to shake this delusion despite all evidence to the contrary and even while having much experience in knowing all the glitters is not gold. While it leans towards romantic relationship advice I was able to apply it to a very longstanding friendship that has, of late, become extremely upsetting to me. I still have to sit there all day watching him!
