When your partner abuses you without the slightest regret, how can you possibly help? You can’t. You can only walk away. 100% That's what I need to work out. Quote

Anyway, hopefully someday you raise your standards. You're too deep in denial right now. Quote

When you're in a committed relationship it sure is your job to help and support your partner when needed. Of course when you're in a relationship you should be supportive of your partner. That's not what I was talking about. When someone has a behavioral problem, the drive to work on it and fix it has to come from that person themselves. If you think you can "fix" your partner's issues you are seriously kidding yourself. You only have control of your own behavior, not someone else's. Quote
Lotsgoingon Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago One single day over a 5 year period does not make for an abusive relationship. There is NO WAY that this is the first time she has attacked you out of immature and petty jealousy. No way. You're either blocking out the previous incidents and or ignoring a bunch of nasty and petty stuff she has done. If this is a one time thing, she should have no problem, no hesitancy, in loudly and contritely admitting her mistake and apologizing with great humility. With no defensiveness. Doesn't sound like her, does it? There is one other possible motive to this insanity on her part. Which is that she could have deliberately attacked you because she wants to break up with you---she just doesn't have the guts to tell you directly. There are people who instead of directly breaking up they act out to destroy the relationship. They might do this when they cheat on their partner. 1 Quote
