What a terrible life...

@Arora Thorne what? Why?

@@epinoob22 Actually its not terrible. It's better to have someone to talk to even arguing that is not walking away, than someone who doesn't care about you and it's leaving at any moment.

@@reperealegandirii how about the 3rd option. You live happily on your own and you dont have to deal with either of those. Garunteed the 1st will cause constant misery while the second can cause short term scars. The 3rd may cause a little bit of loneliness but it can easily be overcome. More time to do things you want too!

@@reperealegandirii so is creating and innovating. Having good support behined you. Giving and helping others that are in need. There are many opportunities and paths to go down that are not avaliable being married. If men want to marry, go for it but it is also much a benefit to staying single and walking a different path

Could your ex challenge you? Maybe that’s why they are an ex.

That is how a secure man behaves.

@AliSand challenge is good, but always remember to have a balance. Not everything needs to be challenge. It can quickly becomes very annoying.

My ex hated that too.

You are incredibly fortunate because you can do that respectfully.

That first part just got me thinking of Monty Python. "I came here for an argument!" "No you didn't!"

My partner of 9 years and I don't really argue. We have conversations. And we don't agree on everything and thats fine.

My English professor said arguments aren't a bad thing, and everything is an argument. Proposal is an argument for marriage ......which blew my mind

I always say, it isn't how often you argue but HOW you argue. Everyone argues but not everyone knows how to argue in a healthy manner. When it comes to my husband and I (10 years strong), we have never tried to hurt the other person by name calling or soul jabbing. And it seems afrer the argument it's a race to see who will apologize for their end first rather than being stubborn and wait for the other to apologize. We are blessed.

Awww... nice.. cool; U get it. It just takes the understanding of CHOICE. Choosing that one person, committing, and, yes working TOGETHER to sort out, resolve the inevitable differences. N choosing to love the other, yields the necessary respect to caringly, intelligently resolve... How cool.. U get it. 🙏🏼

Better to stay single I suppose

@@king-nick2023 not necessarily. I mean though, it does seem like it, in these times. With so much cynicism and insincere people. But. Not really. Because there are still many good people too. You just have to try by taking the time to start it out as a friendship. Take the time to get to know different persons. Cultivate a friendship first. Even that just sounds like a drag to people though, lol.. thats the thing. But I think it takes that. And in these times, the initial time for us to be convinced someone is being genuine must be seriously extended, to really, I mean REALLY see. So, ya... depends if youre willing to do that. It isnt hard. Just depends on ones will power etc. Anywho. Best of luck 🙏🏼

And a narcissist will never work to achieve a solution. They keep themselves behind a wall free from any solution building in the relationship. He is right about the mistreatment beyond belief. They are willing to keep that up for a lifetime-they have no “mirror” for self-review. Without self-review one cannot transcend into building a better self.

@@king-nick2023 yes it is better to be single, if you don’t intend to work to resolve conflicts with a partner.

wow thats a beautiful way to look at some of the effects of trauma

Yes exactly

Beautifully said. I was also raised by a narcissistic (father)… lost my amazing mom suddenly at 10 yo then, enter the epitome of “evil”stepmom/stepsister a short 10 months after. It was a tough childhood. I am learning not to identify myself with being a victim of my childhood, though! Easier said then done. I married young to escape my dysfunctional family, had a basically conflict-less, comfortable marriage until 10 years in when it all blew up. My husband always did things for me, cared for me, showed me love (as the world portrays it- which is somewhat of a band-aid solution). In hindsight I can see there was little personal growth in this time. I personally believe God shook things up, because we were both stagnant in believing we were a “finished product” (as you said). My husband has grown his self-awareness through this trial, basically becoming a different (more loving, but not in the conventional sense) person; and in kind my self-awareness is growing, too. It’s strange, but a good strange. It’s hard to do heart-work, but so worth it. Here’s to hoping we come out on the other side as a family. One thing I have learned- if you can learn to love yourself and see yourself as God sees you (that He made you perfect aka as He INTENDED for you to be; the world has knocked down that child and caused that child to build walls around their heart), you will be a better person for it. Tear down those walls and nurture that inner child, the child that God created intentionally. I wish I had known this before marriage.

@@WS-by5cl thanks for sharing your story. You confirmed a lot of my views. It’s such hard work. I’m working on that self love aspect and won’t consider entertaining a relationship until I’ve resolved my hang ups. Perfection is not the goal but I know that I’ll destroy a relationship if I don’t get a handle on my insecurities. I’m also terrified of attracting someone like my father and a part of me believes that if I love myself, I can inherently show my potential patter how to love me properly. I’m happy for you that you have found a loving husband because that is what you deserve. I hope everything settles for you so that you can continue growing together. We can do it! One step at time

How blessed you are to recognize all of this before entering a relationship! That is more than half the battle, and will serve you well. If one can love themselves, they really have no choice but to love others… because they can actually see themselves (warts and all) IN others. Because one has faced their own faults, and loved themselves despite those faults, it is then so much easier to show love to others. I hope this makes sense … That’s why Christ gives that epitome as the greatest commandment. “love your neighbor as yourself.” I never understood this concept fully until recently. Blessings to you. 💕

My gut tells me to leave everyday, but my brain stops me because i have no money or a place to go... i don't know what to do, but i really hate where im at right now.

@me and me aww life didn't go your way so you choose to a pessimistic party pooper.

@BrunDog63 so two healthy people would never argue in a relationship? Ofc they would, and the point of this video wasnt "to be a MAN" and always put the foot down and argue. In fact it stated the opposite and that constant argument would be bad, because that would mean there is no improvement happening. Which is what Peterson implies what will happen when two people argue it out and learn to be better people.

Ekow Kumasi their relational matrix tends to be about subjugation and mantaining control. Had my N father tonight try to hold the “will” over my head to try and manipulate me. I had been grabbing dinner with him latley. And when it came down to it, I sat there and it’s not the logically smartest thing to do, but I just remember being like “I’m not going to sit there and be manipulated like this”. I named a new emotion that I call “f**k you!” As a body state and feeling. Def was feeling that here. And it’s like this shit is so annoying to even deal with.

@@youngpatrick29 in some way we all are indeed. I dont understand all the commotion about narcissists, as if they are criminals. one person attracts the other, for some reason....

VA Wat there’s malignant narcissist and than empathetic narcissists. I can be a know it all narcissist that has empathy for others and would give you the shirt off my back. Then there’s the narcissist that won’t have empathy for others and kill you for the shirt off your back.

@@thisreckless ok, stay away from the last kind of narcissist ;-)

If you've been with someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder all you want it peace. By yourself or with others.

How are you fighting against it? Could you explain the methods that you are employing?

I still fail to see in the real world that it is supposedly desirable in any relationship to disagree instead of sucking up. I could not name even just one example where that is true. Humans hate people who say the truth they do not want to hear, they love those who tell lies they enjoy more, and so on and on. Humans will be humans. It is not true that telling the truth will get you far, as long as telling the truth is often punished and telling lies is mostly rewarded and hardly ever punished.

"Pleasing" an adult doesn't necessary mean agreeing 100% with him. "Adult conversation" include civilized discussion and arguments.

U know what's an even funnier revelation too!!! Which I hope ya realize, is that most people don't even like people pleasers, majority of people will be polite to ya, but those same people won't actually like u. Better to be true to yourself and find some great friends who love you and let the rest hate you, coming from a past people pleaser.

@@GilmerJohn No, but I understand what Mila is saying. When your parents want you to be a people pleaser, you are taught to make your own desires and wants less of a priority, and if it is severe enough, you lose most of your natural wants and desires over time. Now at 27 I'm still learning to want things, that it is okay to want things, and that it isn't my job to make everyone happy. It's okay if people don't like me. I can just be myself and it will be okay. It's hard as a guy because in a relationship men are expected to take the lead in a lot of things and have direction and motivation.

Exactly the same bro. Lasted around 8 months for me and tbh for all the pain it was, Im happy i went through it. I learned a lot about myself and other people and gained a lot of experience with seeing who people actually are. Id rather it happened early in my life than later in life when i feel more desperate to maintain a connection to someone

I wish I was a pushover like you. But I'm so hard headed, emotionless and blunt, that I scare every woman I meet away after they figure out my real personality. They tend to like my fake persona as the nice guy, but I hate doing it. I cringe the entire time. Sucks man.

Do men not like these things in a partner? This really just sounds like how people ought to treat people they want to be close with.

@@eyesofthecervino3366 I hope men like that as well... Saying women like these things doesn't mean men don't either. Although I will say I don't see most people in general providing any three of those characteristics anymore.

@@axiomaticidioms3857 well of course men like consistency, reliability, and worth. Just think about the small things in life that equate to these principals.

Always knowing that ur wife has ur back in case of an emergency of some kind whether emotional or physical is consistency and well, reliability too. Or even just in general. So on and so on.

🗣️ preaching facts 💯

That is a really good way to put it, I immediately thought of negative interaction as two people getting angry at each other but even if that is the case I feel like it's super important to speak up and resolve conflicts before they build resentment as you said it, so even if it's a negative interaction it's healthy at the end.

Yeah JP is making an unfounded assumption that “being challenged” = “negative interactions”. I like a lot of his other discussions but this one is more of an opinion piece.

That part. Having a partner who thinks think disagreeing means certain doom lol

@@LawsofPaul But for some who take things personally it is a negative interaction.

Very well put. Relationships require continued effort and part of that involves conflict resolution. Things fall apart (or remain eternally unhappy / toxic) when one party won’t or can’t talk or be willing to dig deep. People give up on the basis that the symptoms of conflict recur or get progressively worse, but oftentimes just resolving the disagreements in a healthy and empathetic way is enough to understand each other better and keep otherwise great partnerships together. Continued effort should be everyone’s non-negotiable.

I struggle with the difference between subordination and sacrifice.

But what if somebody wants to do something that's a really bad idea, like investing their life savings in a crackpot money making scheme? I'm supposed to just smile and tell them what a great idea it is? My daughter-in-law is a lawyer who had a client last year who was really good at talking people into investing millions in a non-existent foreign bank! He bilked people out of fortunes.

Maybe they weren’t a narcissistic but found you too agreeable and decided they couldn’t live that way forever after you both had your disagreement, maybe the communication in that negative scenario was far removed from what they’d find acceptable and they realised you weren’t the one so they didn’t want to waste your time anymore.

What was that one disagreement?

So if you're married, you would be okay with still working and doing the rest of what you mentioned?

David If I’m married i would want my husband to be the main bread winner. If I choose to go to work , it’s because I want to not because he forces me to.

@jeans423 Im not carrying a baby for 9 months and pushing it out of my vagina whilst in intense pain, then get home and experience vaginal bleeding for an entire month , bleeding nipples, postpartum depression, and a screaming hungry newborn for a man who forces me to work. Bitch you got me fucked up!

@@celestegarcia923 fair enough.

@@celestegarcia923 girl I've done it, not a nice place to be in, it's hard work, and in the end you will get resentful and it also causes stress in the relationship, hence why lots of marriages fail , because it's a whole lot work running a home tending to a baby or babies and work almost half of the week, running around getting the kids from child care, cooking cleaning etc. So you are right, it's best to actually agree with your husband long before hand, who will work and who will stay home when the babies come along. If not, as I say resentment or mental health can kick in when the bulk of the work is fall on just one person.

True that my brother. I been there maaan. Worst life ever!

James Muthiani it truly is the worst. they damage men and blame men for being damaged then pray on men in their vulnerable state to take advantage of them and blame them for falling victim then force themselves on men and pressure them then blame them for not being open to them then project roles onto him and blame him for not fulfilling them after hurting him so deeply he's simply looking to heal and recover, then blame him for not doing so after trying to consume his energy, time, and resources then blame him for not having enough and make him feel small then blame men for not protecting women after they've put him through proving him unworthy once she's used him up through her phases and cycles. now it is man's fault for not saying no and giving her a chance. lesson to all, say no and don't give her a chance. focus on yourself. only way to fit her in is by having standards and values and creating a space for her to serve(business-wise). create assets that you can pass on for just in case moments of meeting someone who's capable and willing. it is a privilege and must be earned, she must earn her keep by doing what is necessary to comply with your lifestyle, live a sacred one and it will keep you and guide you, it also filters out nonsense, bs, and time-wasters. build an atmosphere only a righteous and virtuous woman can survive and thrive in, a complement, anything less is not for you. evaluate them thoroughly before proceeding further. inquire deeply and dig to uncover who they are. who they are is what it is, don't lower yourself to compromise your integrity, remain true and be honest. never relinquish or give power to another, woman or otherwise. they are human beings, just like us. human nature is unavoidable, face the fact and it will give you a level head and clarity to navigate wisely. we deserve better and must respect ourselves to the degree that we no longer tolerate abuse on any level nor stupidity. the greatest lesson I was given by an elder is, "show no sympathy for self-destructive and harmful people, they know what they're doing and if you let them, they'll do it to you if you allow them in." I also read a quote and heard in a lecture that broken people are incapable of love/loving, they don't even give it to themselves. how can someone give you what they themselves do not possess inwardly? the inner is the outer, so what people show of themselves is how they are, make no mistake in painting them as anything other than what they reveal, the light is that, what is fact. these people are out here playing games, we're not the one(not to be played with nor are we playing). fun is the most fun when you are serious about life and hurt people aren't serious about theirs, they only seek to do damage to others(misery loves company). leeches and vampires are always looking for an energy supply, don't give it to them. starve the negative of attention and honesty will bring you more of the positive. prioritize yourself and only put others after you after you've taken care of home and home base. we're better off doing for the community and the world rather than selfish and self-centered individuals, they are not built for love or goodness, and goodness has no opposite, therefore when they say opposites attract, it is merely a moment for reflection in looking into one's own self to see what the mirror presents, it is not a sign to engage or involve yourself with those types. good women are out there, they just don't normally put themselves out there, truth is you're more than likely not gonna find her on social media(unless it's for business). no matter where you are in life, remember, you're Numéro uno. never put another before, selflessness doesn't mean self-sacrifice, it is only duty to serve others, and yet, one's own cup must always be filled first. only the overflow(remainder) is for the rest.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt and the hat. FUCK THAT.

You guys do realize this is a problem amongst both genders right? Every complaint you have for a particular woman who did you wrong in the past or currently, the same has been said by a woman/women about the Male species too. Narcissism doesnt discriminate against sex. race, age. If your human your fair game.

"And while narcissism is certainly not limited to one gender, new research finds it is much more prevalent in men than in women." "A new large-scale analysis of 355 previously published studies examined three decades worth of research involving more than 475,000 study participants. The researchers found that statistically men scored higher on personality tests for narcissism than women in every age group."

I think that’s because you and your husband communicate genuinely and constructively which is why it stays so positive. May other agreeable people won’t actually communicate their true feelings (even in a positive way) so resentment builds and the relationship becomes stagnant.

Whatever the case, I have realized that I hold everyone to high standards and while I believe it's right to have high standards, especially with regards to finding a future spouse, it also must be taken into account that everyone will fall short of the ideal, including myself. I think the important thing is that the two spouses have the same ideal they're working toward.

Geep1778 does a good partner threaten to leave you unless you grow in a particular way?

Tallonest I happened across your unanswered question. I think the question you asked may be difficult to answer in its form. Bare with me. JPs point seems to be about healthy challenge in relationships. Extremes in behavior, like being to nice, usually causes the other person to leave or view that person like a door mat, the relationship fails. A healthy relationship requires patience & understanding from your partner regarding issues your working through & you give the mutual respect back about their issues. A healthy relationship stimulates each other, supports & recognizes the differences in each other as an asset. People are messy though, they make mistakes, sometimes really bad ones. Most of the time, healthier relationships can weather through. People usually dont just up & leave each other without good reson as in there's underlying problems that hasn't been resolved, such as becoming a door mat, too much drama( drugs/alcohol/ poor mental health) or any other extreme you can think of. I hope that helps?

Elizabeth Wolfgang what you said scares me because I feel like I am too nice .. and maybe I’m becoming a doormat and confrontation or standing up for myself/ speaking up scares the life out of me .. the best way I can help you understand me is the “INFP personality type or Type 6 personality” .. Sometimes I feel like my partner knows he can walk all over me, say mean things to me (even if he is teasing me) or sometimes I can’t handle a tease because I’m too sensitive..

I've always wondered why people like to go to concerts or rather why people would like to do irrational things (such as paying hundreds of dollars just to stand in a loud crowd in front of a live artist). Is it so they get a sense of belonging? Is it because their parents never passed down this sense of belonging to a greater collective (could be nationality, religion, or any other group) to them?

he is the only brightness lighting our future

Incredible mindset

hes really not that brilliant its just basic intuitive things everyone knows but hes a good teacher

@@Takid118 you assume everyone knows these basic things but it’s just not the case, it’s not the reality of the situation a lot of young people are fed bad nutrients from an early age from parents who are not stable

@@Takid118 if people want to overcome I believe they can but they have to want it for themselves and dig deeper then they ever have

Congratulations!

He's a bright man in many ways, no doubt about that, but a little to much of a vulnerable narcissist for my taste. I dislike the victim mentality I've seem him display one too many times, and then when he became an addict I new my assumption was no longer an assumption but an accurate perception of his underlying psychopathology. Narcissists get addicted so easily they now treat the underlying personality disorder while they try and treat the addiction too.

@@le_th_ Another awakened to his charming allure and what lies behind it. His hedonistic early life as a heavy drinker shows the same addictive trait. The problem with a narcissist unravelling a narcissist, which he’s done, is that it will crush you, as happened to him, but rather than learning from it and correcting the deficit, he’s become addicted to his notoriety and the cult following, the catalyst of this, these lectures he made. The capitalist motivator in him gave access to high level careerists with issues which he often talks about, in lectures, revelling in the associations, revealing another dimension of narcissism. His righteous preacher style, and confrontational tactics, now his hallmark after the mental collapse, has, in my opinion, diminished his status, due to associations with extremist KZfaqrs, such as Rogan. Is he a prophet for a new age or a prejudiced protagonist fitting the want of social media to breed extreme views because they attract more views. His followers see their prophet. His critics see the protagonist. Since his wonderful Rules preceded his collapse he’s hardly the best walking talking advert for his psychological ideology. But like all Narcissists deflection of the blame onto any other target and gaslighting failure, are ways to divert overt criticism. His victim status has been reinforced by his collapse. However I’m not at all convinced by the stagecraft he’s learnt along the way, so victim can be also seen as abuser, and abusive. Create your downfall to profit from it. Another narcissistic tactic. They really rather mount up to the inevitable conclusion you’ve arrived at.

I think maybe we should be teaching the people who want to dominate.

it really does mean that, a lot of the times at least, a couple can have a lot of troubles because both know they are not the best for the other, yet they're still together and remain stagnant, therefore they become toxic

Arrested development is a huge problem in modern society at least in the west.

Because change is always stressful to humans. Staying together builds up familiarity. And familiarity sometimes extends into pathological traits like repetition compulsion or Stockholm syndrome. So even if there is more suffering in staying together, humans are more likely to choose to suffer from people they know than from people they don't know.

Fuck yeah, Thomas Szasz is the shit!!

Well, if its a good relationship over time its wonderful. Someone to witness your life, support you and love you. You giving love and support in return. Growing and learning as a team, tackling challenges together. If you actually like each other and work to keep liking each other, marriage is pretty powerful.

To be fair, he covers a lot of things under a single topic. The description is more accurate

The worst is the JORDAN PETERSON DESTROYS titles most of the times he's just having an honest conversation with someone and they may disagree on something but it's not heated and the other person (unless an sjw) might have some good points too

I think this is clickbait for MGTOW, incels and people having relationship problems

This title attracts people either searching for a mate or unhappy in a marriage. Specifically, targetting women in this case seeking men as well as MGTOW, albeit indirectly criticized, but targeted nonetheless. Life is complex and someone of his intellect knows it's more complex than a title. However, were all here because the title worked.

The titles draw in a LOT of people, while the videos deliver a payload of utter brilliance

But u are...KZfaq

Nah, he's only a legend to other narcissists. He's an intelligent man, for sure, but you would be to if you'd studied as much as he has.

@@le_th_found the narcissist who thinks they can solve All the worlds problems but chooses not to cus they have better things to do

@@le_th_ He seems an adept orator but perhaps not a great researcher. I find his need to draw on great minds in debate rather irritating and perhaps indicating a low underlying sense of self esteem. Rather than being an authority himself he needs to bring the authority of greats to validate himself. Notoriety has fed his ego. And, looking at the dysfunctional daughter, one wonders what psychological damage occurred due to his rising popularity and the interpretation of his views as objectionable to those in true authority. Daughters look to fathers as their ideal. Sons to their mothers. Have the sins of the father been inflicted on the daughter, to paraphrase an old saying. And her health consequences were the result. In another lecture he states that the majority of mental illness is the result of an overload of unresolved conflict. I’ve not seen him apply that to her or want to open that can of worms.

Absolutely amazing

Move and keep moving and please stop ruminating it stops your progress of reality. Learn languages an instrument. Forget what ya think you've lost, its her loss, better yet ya could have been innately cycle of pain & heartache for years.....

I think your problem is very much like mine. You have a deep need to connect and when you find that person you are scared to push them away. So you don't enforce your boundaries. I am slowly becoming more assertive and I am not a pushover at all. The right woman would see that.

HSP I definitely always feel like I’m going to fuck it up some how in some way.

@@TheBulian1 I think as long we recognize it and work on it that is enough. There are a lot of people spreading really unhealthy advice on relationships and I'm not taking it anymore. I don't want to play mind games for example, I want to be myself and be loved for it.

When you really know what the person you want to live with for the rest of your life looks like, the skills and habits that person has that fits into your life, you will recognize him or her when you see them. Best to live your life developing yourself into the best person you can be and into someone that has something to bring to the table besides a paycheck then make yourself visible to people who enjoy doing the things you like to do, and be patient and live your life in enjoyment. Be a happy, content person and you can attract the kind of person you are. The kind of person I would have like to share my life with most would have been a person who would make great father. In my opinion, in this way a woman is the backbone of her family even though the husband is the authority. I was single many years and married more then once but I was bound and determined to learn from each and I finally found a wonderful man after I decided never to marry again. He is all I ever wanted and we are like iron on iron. I thank God for him everyday. Neither one of us are perfect but we are committed and both of us have a great sense of humor that we use and need. We are alike, not opposites. We are both devoted in our same faith, which is the glue that brought and holds together. We got married when I was 55. Most of our arguments end in laughter. Don't give up, just be the best you and be interesting. Find happiness in life to bring to another. All my own opinion - what life has taught me. I am from a broken home, so I had to be proactive. Best wishes.

Not sacrifice to them and their ego, sacrifice something you value for the betterment of the relationship. That might even be you sacrifice a quiet life to tell them uncomfortable truths. Of course I agree no-one can be MADE to love you.

Jeremy Duke This statement doesn’t make sense.

Jeremy Duke I screenshotted this. Life advice!

You don’t give love to be loved. Thats approval seeking behaviour and so shows you are not worthy. You give love because you enjoy giving it, nothing more, nothing less.

no on can be made to love you but if you value your relationship with someone you need to put in work too. u cant be a contrarian just to argue, u need to look inward and LISTEN

You picked him. Maybe you mistook his coldness for emotional strength. Fuckbois ain't husbands, sorry.

@@archesworn377 he is my husband -21 years..... I think the worst part about it is covert narcissism is a sneaky long process of being sold an idea of a person that’s not real. It’s a slow calculated manipulation of being sold that they are humble, modest, a perfect role model of a man.... but they will never let you see the truth.... even their closest friends, family, and even their wives don’t get to see the things they hid. They will say things like cheaters are sneaky cowards and I would never do that because it’s the worst thing a man can do to his wife. Even making shows of how moral they are. Meanwhile.... they are doing exactly that. They are the cheater. So when something seems off or strange and you ask normal questions you are shamed for even thinking that. They will cry tears of sadness to you of how they knew a cheater and how destructive that cheater was to their lives and how could you compare him to that?!?! Their emotions seem so real....so that when things come up you question yourself. They will bad mouth you backhanded comments like.... she is so forgetful and sometimes just does stuff without talking to me but she’s that’s just her and I love her.... or she is in her own world and sometimes forgets about the important things like our kids but I wouldn’t want to be married to anyone else.....granted none of what he said is true (most of the times they are the ones doing the things they are blaming you for) but he plants these little thoughts to your friends, family, neighbors so that you are slowly discredited to everyone. Everything they do or say even if it’s hurtful it’s all for your benefit. I did that because I care about you. They will do things and they say I never said that.... that never happened and it will be situations that the only witnesses are you and him. So you start to question well.... maybe he didn’t say that.... maybe I’m remembering it wrong..... these things happen over years... not months or days.... your friends are bad mouth as not good for you... they drink too much, they go out too much, should a married women have single friends and it’s all presented in being “loving” and suddenly after 5-6 years your friends are his friends.... so you have no one. The sabotage is crazy making... it’s the person who helps you plan a party but on the party day decides to go golfing or go to work that day leaving you with more work then you can handle. Or talking planning something special for you that never happens but the idea is used as they care about you, forgetting your anniversary, birthday, Christmas, or holidays... gifts are always unthoughtful almost like they are hoping you react to the crappy present so they can chastised you for being selfish and ungrateful. After 21 years, I survive by having zero expectations.... you can’t get hurt or upset if you just expect they aren’t going to show up, bail on you, or get you a broken picture frame from Walmart for your anniversary. When you expect normal loving husband behavior then you will be heavily disappointed. It’s a slow, sick, lonely, and mind fking..... before you know it... your so enmeshed with this person that it’s difficult to find your way out.

@@mcawesomest1 hi Val, my heart pours out to you because I know first hand exactly how that feels, I haven’t done 25 years I’ve done 2 years and have experienced unbelievable hurt grief and distress. We didn’t choose them they chose us and we really didn’t see it coming whatsoever. Just know you not alone. I understand 💔

@@mcawesomest1 All I can say is wow, I’m incredibly sorry that you find yourself in that position. I hope you find peace, even if that means leaving the safety of what you currently have. Things like this terrify me because they’re incredibly real and common. Sounds like doing a prototypical screen for “red flags” in a partner doesn’t always catch potential futures like this .. a much more insidious way to break someone down. So sorry

@@ancek404 For now, I’m surviving and hanging in there for my kids... I’m very aware to the reality of my situation and it would be significantly worse for my children if we weren’t together. They would be used, manipulated and emotional abused... not to mention the courts and Im fairly sure he would use any means necessary to remove them from my care (he has threatened that... and don’t forget he has an army of friends and family to testify what an amazing father he is... not to mention all the “seeds” he has planted through the years. At least I can be around 24/7 to shelter and protect them from a good portion of it... it’s like throwing yourself on a grenade. I was a perfect mark....I grew up with various learning disabilities and with a parent who was an abusive addict. Looking back.... I would have told my 20 something self to trust your instincts. When something doesn’t feel right or sound right then trust it. I’m a teacher with a massive heart, mega Empathy and an agreeable personality. I was and still am a perfect match for someone like this. Know yourself. Know your strengths and your weaknesses. Had I been aware of my personal inventory then I would have been more aware. I’m in intensive therapy for childhood trauma along with spousal emotional abuse trauma (he thinks it’s just childhood) which works because of course “I’m the broken one and he is perfect” it fits his relationship narrative. I’ve got 9 more years in the trenches until my youngest is old enough and I will survive this. I’m not a victim... I will not be a victim and I will make it but in the meantime just using all the tools I can to get through this.

Its just our minds can't understand easily what he says is actually beyond our experiences

Carl Andrews well there’s that, but also the fact that he is just talking about couples in general. The title of this clip is designed to lure in insecure men. Period. Once that happens the YT algorithm leads them down a rabbit hole of increasingly extreme views, eventually going to neo Nazis. I’ve seen it happen to my own feed. I had to delete JP, Stephen molyneux, etc for MONTHS to get it to fucking stop. So glad my recommends are back to music and tech.

@Boj Z Wow, someone who can barely speak english and has no sub history on a Jordan Peterson vid? Color me shocked.

@@themoonsbluelight no, he's talking about the MGTOW and how their goal is to give nothing to women. And how they believe that women do nothing but take. He's saying it's not a good thing. That the basis of our existence as humans has only come this far BECAUSE we (male and female) have done these things. We give and provide. It's how we survive as a species.

Yup. Women do want a pushover, but unfortunately, they are running out of stock real quick thanks to the Red Pill and Mgtow!

something is WRONG with YOU if YOU become the push over in a relationship

We all have something(in most cases a lot) that is wrong with us and that we need to work over.

I'm so lucky to be in the relationship I am in. My boyfriend does so much for me and I am so grateful for that. But he is definitely no pushover. It's crazy how well matched we are. We take turns being in charge, and being vulnerable or strong. And we repay each other's help with our own. One day he might do my laundry and the next I will clean our room and his desk, or he will cook or I will cook. We always express lots of gratitude and we challenge each other by being very honest yet encouraging. I believe (if you haven't already) you can find this dynamic in a partner. Unfortunately there are a lot of takers and a lot or pleasers in this world. You yourself have to understand how to be in balance and know when you are taking or giving too much, and must find a person who wants to respect you and this balance.

@@emberlite Amber dont yell at us! Jk

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Stop calling households ‘single mother’ households - call it exactly what it was a ‘fatherless home’ - your mother was there wasn’t she! So where was your father?

@@debbiegibson3166 I've noticed this quite a lot. People who were brought up in single parents households being ungrateful towards the parent who stayed and idolizing the parent who left. They may also condemn the parent who stayed and love the parent who was always deadbeat in their lives, if that makes sense. And I'm not talking about abusive single parent households, but about those single parents who work 2-3 jobs, cook, clean, wash, help with homework whenever they can , and raise them in the best way they can. Not saying OP is "ungrateful" or not, as idk him. But your comment made me remember those kind of people. Anyways, regardless of calling it "singe mother home" or "fatherless home" the blame would always be pinned on the mother who stayed and not the father who left, by our "SwEet fAiR sOcIeTy". Society generally don't like holding men accountable for such acts.

@@debbiegibson3166 the truth is that many of these single mothers push the fathers away and yield their children as weapons. We’ve seen it more times than not.
