My girlfriend is very dominant and speaks harshly. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

My girlfriend is particularly dominant and her words are very hurtful. For example, once, we were driving together and stopped to buy something, but then the car wouldn't start.

She gets really worked up and makes all kinds of accusations, thinking that this is my problem, why did the battery run out, and all kinds of nasty things! For example, when we were chatting, he got angry when I didn't get the meaning of the message he sent, saying that he couldn't communicate with me and that I couldn't understand what he said.

It sounds very harsh. She always feels that she is right, and is particularly opinionated.

If I take the wrong road, she will get angry and say a lot of unpleasant things about how I got it wrong. Anyway, she will always speak in a condescending manner and accuse me.

As a result, I really have to be careful when doing things and I'm afraid of making mistakes. Once I make a mistake, it may not be a mistake, but it's a mistake in her eyes, and she'll find all kinds of things to blame me for.

It really makes me feel so sad, I don't know what to do.

Hello! I'll give you a big hug.

From what you've said, it's clear that your girlfriend is very dominant and speaks harshly. You're asking what you should do.

I put myself in your shoes and I remember a saying I once heard: such a person doesn't break up, but stays for the New Year.

It might sound a bit crude, but if your girlfriend really makes you feel bad, why don't you break up with her? After all, she's not your wife, and you can divorce your wife, right?

So, why don't you just end it?

Don't worry, just keep reading, take a deep breath, and let me continue.

In general, people tend to make decisions about breaking up or divorcing based on their natural instincts to seek out benefits and avoid harm.

It's like some people who have said they're getting a divorce many times, but end up getting back together. It's just that they feel that breaking up will cost them more than staying together will give them, that breaking up will reduce their sense of security and increase their anxiety.

So, think about what you've gained from this relationship. Is it more important to you than the sadness caused by your girlfriend's dominance?

If there were a scale, with the loss of the relationship on one side and the gains from the difficult relationship on the other, you'd probably weigh more on the side of gains than losses.

There's a Japanese book called "Wives Who Resent But Don't Divorce" that actually talks about this. Think about it: if we all hated our husbands so much that we wanted them dead, why don't we just divorce them?

Of course, the benefits of not getting divorced outweigh the disadvantages.

Or maybe your girlfriend wants to stay with a boyfriend who keeps asking questions and doesn't seem to understand what she says. It's possible she also benefits from the relationship. Think about what you both gain from each other. Why are you willing to stay in this relationship? What kind of needs does it satisfy, emotional or otherwise?

As the old saying goes, you can't have gains without pain. If you look at relationships from an economic perspective, you'll find that everyone has a scale in their heart. The standard for this scale may have to be found in the subconscious.

You're here asking a question, so you still want to continue the relationship. Let's see how we can improve it.

To be honest, I'm not sure what you can do.

What are you hoping to achieve by asking this question? Is it about how to get along with your girlfriend?

Or maybe you're looking for ways to change your girlfriend's opinion of you? Or to make her less dominant?

But the truth is, we can only change ourselves. We can influence other people with our words and actions, though.

At the same time, relationships involve two people, so it's best for both people to work together to change the relationship.

In terms of how you communicate with your girlfriend, it seems like she's good at making accusations and you're good at compromising. I made up these two methods to show that there might be other reasons behind your two communication styles.

It's probably the communication style you learned during your upbringing with an important other person in your relationship. Simply put, it's not your fault or hers that you're used to it.

You can say that you're probably more like someone from your own upbringing, so you'll probably deal with this person in the same way you've dealt with others in the past.

What can you do? First, stay calm and talk to your girlfriend about it. I suggest you read the book "Nonviolent Communication" and its practical version.

Nonviolent communication has four main parts: observation, feelings, needs, and requests.

Observation is about stating the facts, looking at things objectively, and describing what you see and understand in an objective way.

Feelings are about sharing how you really feel and what you're feeling at the moment.

What result do you need to express?

Finally, let her know what you want and what you need from her.

Think about what you've gained from this relationship and what's helping you stick with it. Then, think about what you're willing to give up for this relationship and what you can offer in return.

In terms of communication methods, I'd suggest checking out the book "Nonviolent Communication."

I'm a psychological counselor who often feels depressed, but also has moments of positivity and motivation. I love the world and I love you.

Hello! I can feel your grievances and helplessness through the screen. I am going to give you the power of warmth.

From your description of your girlfriend, it is clear that she is prone to feeling anxious, irritable, impatient, and harsh in speech over trivial matters. This makes you feel aggrieved, hurt, and helpless.

Furthermore, your girlfriend's words and actions have already placed you under significant pressure. You are acting with caution, concerned about making mistakes, being blamed, and worrying about what might upset your girlfriend.

Firstly, I want to be clear that a healthy relationship between two genders is one where there is a sense of ease and comfort, and neither person feels oppressed or suffocated. If this is not the case, it is time to take a good look at the relationship and gain a deeper understanding of oneself and the other person. This should lead to open and honest communication, with both parties willing to make adjustments. If this is not the case, the relationship will eventually fall apart, and both parties will feel hurt.

1) Understand the personality traits behind your own and your girlfriend's behavior.

Your girlfriend's personality type is clear from her behaviour. She is impatient and cares more about whether things are perfect than about your feelings. She is highly organised and capable, but lacks patience, ignores the feelings of others, and has high emotional sensitivity. A very small thing can ignite her emotions and often makes those around her feel a strong sense of oppression.

Your personality should be more concerned with people's feelings. Think about whether your tolerance is higher. You are understanding and kind. Making a small mistake is not a big deal to you.

Show you care about other people's feelings.

You should know that a person's personality is formed by multiple factors such as their nature and upbringing. It is not easy to change, but you can gain insight into yourself, make adjustments, and give feedback to the other person to express your own demands. You can also be more tolerant and understanding based on understanding the other person's personality.

(2) Speak openly and honestly to express your demands.

If you communicate openly and honestly, and if you still love each other, you can and will go on. Then express your demands with a problem-solving attitude and tell your girlfriend: ✍ What actions of hers

Tell me how it makes you feel and what you expect from me.

You should also ask her to help her understand her emotions. Tell her why she gets so emotional so easily.

Tell her that being angry and grumpy all the time is not good for her health. And be understanding.

You can't expect to understand your partner 100% in love. You have to communicate well, listen attentively, and be willing to take their needs to heart to truly get inside their heart.

I am confident that this will be helpful.

Dear questioner,

My name is Kelly.

I have taken the time to read your question carefully and would be happy to help you analyze your relationship-4196.html" target="_blank">girlfriend's dominance.

[Girlfriend is dominant and speaks harshly]

I believe your girlfriend is very fortunate to have met a boyfriend who accepts her and provides the attachment relationship she may have lacked during her upbringing.

It might be helpful for the questioner to find out more about her upbringing.

1: Could I ask whether this is also the way her parents communicate?

2: Could there perhaps be a vulnerable side to her strength, where she uses her strength to hide her weaknesses?

3: It seems that your relationship provides her with a sense of security, which may manifest in her behavior as a willful child.

[Emotional]

It might be helpful to try to understand whether there are any underlying reasons for your girlfriend's bad mood, given that she tends to be quite emotional.

For instance, she may become angry quite habitually, and her girlfriend may not notice.

For instance, if the battery is broken, you can communicate with her afterwards. This is an unfortunate accident, and there is no need to blame you. Perhaps it would be helpful to consider that mistakes are part of the learning process. It might be beneficial to practice responding to unexpected situations in a constructive manner. Being honest with your girlfriend and expressing your feelings could be a good approach.

Next time you go out together, you will have gained some experience, which should help to avoid any further blame being placed on you for unexpected incidents.

Gaining insight into the emotions behind your girlfriend's actions can facilitate her personal growth while also benefiting you. While such challenges may arise, it is possible to maintain a positive outlook.

It is possible that if you feel aggrieved for a long time, it might have a detrimental effect on the development of the relationship, and could potentially lead to a loss of balance and stability.

If one party becomes stronger and the other weaker, it could potentially lead to challenges in the relationship dynamics.

There may be a fear of making mistakes.

She said that there seemed to be a misunderstanding and that it was difficult to communicate effectively.

It's important to remember that men and women often think differently. You could try telling her honestly that you didn't understand, asking what she wants, and then listening to her answer. This can help you both understand each other better. It's also a good idea to explore your own feelings in the process.

1: Could it be that your family of origin had a girlfriend with this personality (someone you got used to accepting)?

2: Could I ask why you are afraid to speak up? (As an adult, you are perfectly able to express your thoughts and opinions directly.)

3: Have you ever considered whether you are truly satisfied with this kind of relationship, given that you have been this way since you got married?

4: It might be helpful to gently remind your girlfriend that you love her, while also making it clear that you don't necessarily have to accept her emotions all the time.

5: It's possible that there is a need behind her emotions that she wants to satisfy. It might be helpful to communicate more, learn more together, and explore yourselves more. You might find it beneficial to take a look at "Nonviolent Communication."

6: Perhaps it would be helpful to consider who gave her the right to accuse.

7: Perhaps it would be helpful to gently remind your girlfriend that a bad temper is not good for her health.

8: If you are unable to resolve the issue and communication is ineffective, you may wish to consider seeking advice and asking the counselor for suggestions.

It is important to remember that human interaction is mutual, and respect is a prerequisite. It may be helpful for the questioner to first respect their own feelings and ideas and guard their own boundaries. It is possible that if one person keeps putting up with everything, the relationship may not be as healthy as it could be.

It might be helpful to remember that you are a guy, and that you can be gentle, but you can also be a man with character. So, at the right time, honest communication and expressing your emotions could be beneficial to the development of your relationship.

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations!

I am happy to be of service.

I hope this message finds you well. I just wanted to take a moment to express my love and appreciation for the world and for you.

It is evident that the questioner is experiencing depression, anger, and discomfort. In response to your girlfriend's unreasonable accusations, you are uncertain whether reasoning with her will exacerbate the situation and damage the relationship between you. Alternatively, if you suppress your emotions, you will be uncomfortable and uncertain about how to proceed. This may lead to feelings of inadequacy.

In such a situation, it is understandable to have concerns. However, it may be helpful to consider the matter from a different angle.

From the perspective of the questioner, suppressing himself in the face of his girlfriend's accusations may be an attempt to demonstrate his love for her, to make her happy, and to maintain the development of the emotional relationship between the two. However, after the questioner did so, his girlfriend's reaction and the result were not the same as the questioner expected or predicted. It did not have the desired effect and role, so the questioner needs to identify which part of the process went wrong, make the necessary adjustments, and implement changes. This will also affect the reaction of his girlfriend and lead to changes in the development of the emotional relationship between the two.

The development of the relationship between the two individuals is mutually influential. If the questioner feels suppressed in the relationship, her girlfriend will naturally feel the same way. Her reaction also reflects the emotions she feels in her heart. For her, the questioner's various behaviors are unacceptable and incomprehensible. Perhaps even more so, she doesn't want to see them. She is just expressing her inner thoughts and emotional feelings with that kind of accusation. The questioner also cannot understand it.

From the information provided by the questioner, it is evident that there are significant issues in the way the two individuals interact with each other. They have difficulty understanding each other's feelings, which has resulted in numerous misunderstandings and conflicts. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the way they interact with each other.

There is a fundamental principle in interpersonal relationships: if you want others to treat you a certain way, you must treat yourself and others that way. If the questioner wants to gain his girlfriend's respect, trust, understanding, recognition, and acceptance, he must first respect, trust, understand, recognize, and accept himself and his girlfriend.

Intimate relationships can be defined as an exchange of emotional equivalents. While the importance of the exchange is significant, the manner in which emotions are expressed is of even greater importance. For instance, if a caring remark is conveyed with a tone that is perceived as accusatory, even if the intention is benevolent, the recipient may perceive the remark as lacking care and may experience feelings of hurt.

Furthermore, unchecked and unresolved issues will not only fail to gain the other person's respect, trust, understanding, recognition, and acceptance, but will also create an atmosphere of unease.

To resolve the current issue, it is essential to first address the underlying issue within oneself. This entails understanding the reasons behind one's behavior towards one's partner, the underlying motives, and gaining deeper insight into oneself. This process allows for the identification of aspects of oneself that have remained unrecognized. As a suggestion, it is beneficial to consider that an intimate relationship with a partner can reflect the dynamics within the family unit. To gain clarity, it may be helpful to examine the relationship with one's mother as a starting point.

Good morning.

A gentle tap on the shoulder to offer encouragement. Falling in love is a positive experience, yet the questioner has encountered challenges. Let's collaborate to identify the relationship issue. Address it with sincerity, deepen your comprehension of "love," and reclaim the joy you deserve.

"Love" is a mutual exchange based on respect.

My girlfriend is very assertive and her comments are often perceived as hurtful. For instance, on one occasion we were driving and stopped to purchase something, but then the vehicle failed to start.

She is highly critical, attributing blame to him for various issues, and expressing frustration when things don't go her way. For instance, when we communicate, if I don't fully comprehend what he's saying, he becomes agitated and claims that he can't effectively communicate with me.

Your perspective may come across as harsh. You tend to be opinionated and believe you are always right.

After a thorough review of the questioner's detailed account, it appears that in the conflicts that arise in the relationship with his girlfriend and in the attitude and response to problems, the girlfriend consistently assumes a dominant role. Upon receiving these instructions, the questioner is merely expected to fulfill his obligations without any other rights. Her objective is to achieve a desired outcome, yet she fails to recognize that her tone and expression can inflict emotional distress on her boyfriend. Consequently, whenever the questioner experiences pain, and if this occurs with greater frequency, he may naturally perceive his girlfriend as self-centered and indifferent to others' feelings.

Individuals who are perceived as "self-centered" often have difficulty listening to and understanding the perspectives of others. They tend to make judgments based on their own subjective experiences, which can lead to feelings of being ignored or disregarded. This can result in a lack of effective communication and a breakdown in the ability to exchange information in a coordinated manner. In such situations, individuals may resort to expressing their emotions in a personal monologue, which can hinder their capacity to express love and connect with others.

I am unaware of whether the girlfriend and the questioner are in their first relationship or if they have had previous relationships.

If neither party has had any experience, the situation is to be expected. Neither has broken away from the environment of receiving "love" from their original family and learned to give love to others. Instead, they believe that "if the other person loves me, they should give me more love." They have not learned or considered how to love, so they cannot learn to love and care for other people's feelings or respect other people's ideas.

If, despite having had previous relationships, one is unable to love, this is indicative of an underlying issue. The distorted view of love that arises from mutual attraction and interdependence needs to be corrected in order to foster a genuine and mutually beneficial relationship.

When the girlfriend encounters a vehicular breakdown, it evokes feelings of vulnerability, leading her to lash out at others in a display of pent-up frustration.

When the girlfriend and boyfriend engage in a typical dialogue, they express their frustration at the boyfriend's perceived lack of responsiveness.

From these various reactions, we can see the way the girlfriend handles problems. She is always "extroverted" and rarely "introverted," which indicates that she is a person with very direct thinking and logic. This makes it difficult for her to internalize and digest problems in order to relieve negative emotions. In other words, she is very difficult to solve problems on her own through her own strength. She may appear strong on the outside, but in reality she is a very vulnerable person inside. This is because she does not have the strength to solve the current problem on her own. As a result, she will grasp at anything she can, just like a drowning person grasping at a straw for help. In this state, she has no time to think and is eager to vent negative energy.

The patience of the questioner also requires serious self-reflection, as well as timely assistance to relieve the pressure caused by negative emotions. The question is whether the questioner is truly able to accept a girlfriend who cannot accept the shortcomings of others. At the same time, in the face of her girlfriend's dominance, why does he tolerate her every time, even though he doesn't accept her? This requires the questioner to listen carefully to the voice inside, balance his feelings and thoughts, and make an internal decision in order to truly get along harmoniously with his girlfriend.

How should relationship conflicts caused by strength be addressed?

1. The first step is to address the issue directly, rather than avoiding it.

It is understood that quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change. If the girlfriend's strong personality persists, it will become a stereotyped way of getting along in a relationship. If the optimal time for correction is missed, it will be challenging to implement change. Therefore, when issues arise, it is essential to address them promptly and communicate with our girlfriend to resolve relationship problems. We should communicate our genuine thoughts and repair any emotional gaps that have emerged through communication.

It should be noted that the shift from a "strong" mindset does not entail the complete negation of one's partner's personality. Rather, it pertains to the ability to coexist harmoniously with one's partner and to demonstrate respect for their individuality and sentiments. In a metaphorical sense, a "princess" requires a "prince" to bestow upon her the trappings of royalty. Therefore, if a woman wishes to be treated with the deference and admiration typically associated with royalty, she must embody the qualities and demeanor befitting such a role.

2. Accept your own shortcomings and foster a collaborative environment for all parties involved.

There are numerous instances in life that illustrate the strength of a girlfriend. It is challenging to succeed alone. The questioner should consider who has consistently provided a "strong" environment for the other person. When others exert their strength on us, we must feel uncomfortable. Then we must first take responsibility for our own feelings and be willing to decline uncomfortable treatment methods and attitudes. If we incorrectly believe that declining will result in our girlfriend leaving us, then this is a personal tragedy for the questioner. Imagine if a person does not even respect and protect their own feelings, how can they courageously pursue the ideal love in their hearts?

It is also important to teach the other party to love themselves.

3. Prioritize the issue at hand and avoid personalizing conflicts.

I am acquainted with a couple who become visibly upset when they argue, yet I rarely observe them using profanity. I can discern the distress and sense of disintegration they experience as they attempt to regulate their anger, yet they persist in maintaining their composure. When differences and conflicts are resolved, they promptly convene a family meeting to summarize their experiences. It may appear that they are highly experienced, but they continue to conduct themselves with humility when they argue. Loving someone may be straightforward, but maintaining a relationship requires a greater degree of wisdom and the capacity to love.

Best wishes for success and perseverance!

Hello, question asker!

From your description, it seems that your girlfriend is always angry about trivial matters. This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about her and to grow together! I think that such a person may not fully accept herself, and at the same time may not fully accept you. Perhaps she has a lot of pent-up negative emotions, and these mainly come from her perception of these matters, her three-dimensional view, and so on. I can understand how you feel, and I'm excited to help you work through this together!

In such a personality, it is accusatory, with negative emotions about the actions of others and one's own actions. One does not allow oneself to make mistakes, or to suffer these misfortunes. One believes that these misfortunes are due to one's bad luck. At the same time, there is also a fearful self within that vents negative emotions on oneself all the time. These negative emotions cannot be vented in some way, and they can also cause personal attacks on oneself and others. But here's the good news! You can choose to change your mindset and outlook on life. You can choose to become more positive and optimistic. You can choose to become more resilient and adaptable. You can choose to become more self-compassionate and understanding. You can choose to become more self-loving and self-accepting. You can choose to become more self-assured and self-reliant. You can choose to become more self-motivated and self-driven. You can choose to become more self-aware and self-reflective. You can choose to become more self-sufficient and self-sufficient. You can choose to become more self-confident and self-assured. You

And as her partner, she will naturally attack you. How should we deal with this situation?

First, I suggest that you not be affected by your girlfriend's negative emotions. Everything we suffer is caused by karma, which means that you have the power to choose how you react to any situation! It may be that we encountered such a situation at that time, but life is always full of possibilities. You never know what exciting new situation you'll encounter next!

Second, I suggest you actively communicate with your girlfriend and ask her what kind of feelings this incident has brought to you. You can even ask her why you can't accept this small mistake or bad thing! No one is perfect, and things don't always go smoothly. It's inevitable to encounter some trouble, but you can learn to solve problems with emotions, not to let emotions control you.

Third, if talking with your girlfriend doesn't help, I highly recommend you guide her to seek professional counseling. This is a great opportunity to gain insights into your girlfriend's personality, thoughts, feelings, and inner child. You'll also get to meet her needs and find ways to gradually improve your girlfriend's behavior.

Finally, no matter what kind of relationship it is, there needs to be boundaries. Unchecked negativity will only affect the relationship between the two of you. If you really can't stand your girlfriend's temper, you can also propose to leave the relationship. Of course, this is only if your girlfriend is unable to recognize her own problems, or if she simply won't correct her character. You can also make this choice, because we don't need to give our lives to others, and we are not responsible for other people's negative emotions. People who can't see their own problems have no self-reflection ability, and it is very difficult to change. But you can change!

I really hope my answer is helpful!

The questioner expressed gratitude for the present moment and acknowledged the value of having met.

From your description, it appears that you have suppressed a considerable number of emotions. It is reasonable to conclude that no individual would feel at ease in a relationship where their partner consistently accuses them of wrongdoing, regardless of the circumstances.

Furthermore, it is important to note that the words and actions exhibited by your girlfriend are not the result of a recently formed habitual pattern, but rather a long-standing and deeply ingrained behavior. Therefore, it is imperative to understand that her actions are not a reflection of your own actions or the relationship itself. Given the proximity and intimacy of the relationship, it is understandable that your girlfriend may choose to express her frustrations directly when confronted with challenging situations. It is crucial to recognize that you are a source of safety and acceptance for her, and that her actions are not a reflection of your own actions or the relationship itself.

It can be argued that no problem is insurmountable if one has love as a resource. If one wishes to facilitate change in a romantic partner, it may be helpful to identify the psychological needs that underpin their accusatory tendencies.

If the individual in question persists in attributing blame to external factors, it may be indicative of an underlying tendency to evade personal responsibility. This could be indicative of a pervasive sense of powerlessness, vulnerability, and insecurity. Additionally, there is a discernible correlation between an individual's inner state and their outward appearance.

This indicates that she does not approve of herself internally and exhibits a tendency to self-accuse and experience dissatisfaction.

It is recommended that you express your feelings consistently, rather than suppressing them, as this will facilitate the development of a healthy relationship. In the moment of the incident, it is helpful to guide her in analyzing her emotions using Satir's iceberg theory. Assure her that you are a reliable source of support and that she can rely on you to be there for her as she faces and solves problems.

Additionally, it is possible to inform the individual that, in addition to the tendency to blame oneself, it is also possible to express oneself in this way, which is comfortable for both parties and acceptable to the inner self. It is possible to provide greater comfort when the individual encounters the scared child inside, encourage and appreciate them more, and accompany them to a limited extent. The individual's changes will gradually become apparent.

I wish you the best of luck!

Hello!

It seems like you've found a girlfriend who gets pretty worked up easily, and the tiniest thing can set her off. I know you feel really bad about it, but holding back your emotions is like carrying a knife above your head. Long-term suppression of your emotions is bad for your physical and mental health, and it's not great for your relationship either.

And you didn't say anything about leaving her throughout the whole conversation. You were just describing the specific things that happened. She got angry, but you didn't. You really put up with her, and you have very good emotional control. I'm curious to know how you do it! This girlfriend is really lucky to have found you. I wonder if she's privately grateful.

1. For a relationship to last, it's so important that the two people in it respect each other. It's really important that no matter what happens, they don't belittle, insult or attack each other personally.

When your girlfriend is in a good mood, you can have a nice chat about some basic communication rules based on equality and respect. You can even suggest some ways to make your relationship even healthier!

2. You can learn and use some positive communication skills. When your girlfriend starts to blame you again, you can use the three principles of positive communication: use the word "I"; express your true feelings; and express your expectations. For example, if she starts to blame you when the battery is flat, you can say, "I don't want the battery to be flat either, I don't want this to happen, and I'm feeling a bit irritated and frustrated."

I'm really trying to find a solution here, and I'd really love your help!

3. If your girlfriend won't let go and keeps talking about it, you can gently let her know how you're feeling. You could say something like, "I'm really struggling with this right now. Could we talk about it another time?"

3. If your girlfriend won't let go and keeps talking about it, you can gently tell her how hard it is for you and ask her to stop talking about it and talk about it some other time.

You could say something like, "I'm feeling pretty angry right now. I'm afraid if you say anything more, I might not be able to control my emotions. I really don't want to do or say anything I'll regret, so let's not talk about this for now. I'll take a break."

I'll be back in just a few hours to chat more about this with you.

4. If your girlfriend loves you and really wants to go on with you, she will consider ways to change. If you both want to become better, or explore your patterns of getting along, you might consider couple counseling, which could really help.

4. If your girlfriend loves you and really wants to go on with you, she'll be open to making changes. If you both want to grow and learn how to get along better, couple counseling could be a great option.

It's not hard to end a relationship, but it does take some know-how to make one work!

I really hope you've learned something from this. You're such a good-natured, well-mannered person, and you deserve to be happy!

Hello, friend! I've come across your confusion, and I'm here to help!

First of all, I want to give you some great news. I'm a girl, and I also treated my husband like this for a period of time ( •̥́ ˍ •̀ू ).

My husband has a great approach, and I'm excited to share it with you!

1. Let me know when you're talking like that, and I'll tell you why it's not okay!

2. Treat him in the same way he treats you. I couldn't stand it at the time, but I'm excited to see what happens next!

3. Talking to me in a "coy" manner. For example, she might say to me in a soft tone of voice and in a joking manner, "I feel like I have no status in the family now, and it seems like I have to please you more."

But what I really want to say is that I only do that to my husband when he is lazy, doesn't take care of the family, doesn't take care of the children, or when there are problematic events and conflicts. I am aware that that is not right, but I'm working on it!

So, why is your girlfriend treating you this way? Could it really be because you're not doing well?

Or maybe she doesn't love you that much?

Love is a two-way street! She doesn't realize her own problems, so you're helping her see them. But if she clearly knows that she is wrong in this way, then the questioner has the opportunity to decide whether or not to take this emotional object seriously.

Finally, I want to say that if you have a problem, communicate about it, don't hide it. She won't know what you're thinking unless you tell her. And don't be afraid to say it if she won't be happy. Love is sublimated in friction.

I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Good day, my name is Jia Ao, and I have no particular expectations.

I have carefully read your confessions and concerns on the platform, and I especially understand how you feel. You say that your girlfriend has a particularly strong personality and speaks very harshly. She makes all kinds of accusations and complaints whenever things don't go her way, and she is always right and everyone else is wrong. This makes you very sad, and you have become increasingly cautious in everything you do, for fear of doing something wrong and angering her. You don't know what to do in the future or how to deal with such conflicts.

From your description, it is evident that you have been experiencing a significant degree of depression and sadness in this relationship. It is likely that, were it not for your concern for her well-being, you would have been unable to tolerate the situation for an extended period. Has she consistently exhibited this behavior, or has she recently become irritable and short-tempered?

It would be beneficial to ascertain how the two of you initially became acquainted. Additionally, it would be advantageous to determine whether you have effectively communicated with her regarding the issues between you.

What is the appropriate course of action in the event that one's romantic partner exhibits dominant behavior, a proclivity for making accusations, and a tendency to speak harshly?

Let us proceed to an analysis and classification of the issues at hand.

Let us initially examine the accusations and grievances that your girlfriend has lodged against you.

The first issue pertains to the malfunctioning battery, which has led to the assumption that you are the source of the problem.

The second issue pertains to a lack of comprehension during a conversation.

The third issue is the assertion that the individual was driving in the wrong direction.

In the event of an adverse outcome, the onus is placed on the individual in question.

The subject displays a tendency to perceive themselves as always being correct, while ascribing incorrectness to others.

From the aforementioned description, it can be surmised that the subject in question is experiencing significant difficulties and is prone to frequent accusations and blame. The accusing personality of the girlfriend is such that it is beyond the capacity of ordinary individuals to tolerate it.

[Blame-oriented personality]

A blame-oriented personality is characterized by individuals who were raised in an environment where they were frequently blamed by their parents. These individuals often adopt blame-oriented personality traits within their own families, exhibiting a tendency to blame others and perceive external circumstances as problematic. They may also display behaviors such as being overly critical, demanding, and verbally aggressive.

The following are illustrative examples of the specific manifestations of an accusatory personality:

"You are remarkably lacking in intelligence and consistently misinterpret or misunderstand situations."

"Why is it that you are unable to comprehend what I am attempting to convey?"

"Why is it that you are unable to avoid creating difficulties?"

"It is evident that you are unable to navigate this situation effectively, so it would be prudent to refrain from driving."

"If others are capable of performing the task at hand, then surely you are as well."

"It's all your fault, if it weren't for you..."

…………

From an alternative viewpoint, individuals who frequently ascribe blame to others may exhibit a tendency toward infantile thinking and selfish behavior. This suggests that they have not yet developed a fully mature and autonomous mind. (Psychological perspective).

How might one cultivate a harmonious relationship with a partner who exhibits an accusatory personality?

1. [Learn to distinguish between issues]

The individual in question tends to ascribe blame to others for a multitude of circumstances and attributes these attributions to the actions of the other party. It is imperative to differentiate between the emotions experienced by the individual and those experienced by the other party. It is not the case that the individual has done anything wrong; rather, it is more important to attend to one's own emotions. There is no need for a direct conflict. When the individual is angry, engaging in further argument is unlikely to resolve the issue. It will only serve to exacerbate the situation. In the event that the individual has indeed done something wrong, it is advisable to admit the transgression with a positive demeanor.

2. [Recognize the needs behind emotions]

From her various behaviors, it can be inferred that her current personality was shaped within the context of her original family. It is not implausible to suggest that her childhood may have been spent in an environment characterized by frequent accusations. When she accuses you, it is likely that she is seeking affirmation and recognition. She may believe that she is capable of performing better than you.

Should one wish to exacerbate the situation, it would be advisable to engage in the same level of criticism and scrutiny as the other party. It is also important to note that the more vehement the argument, the more detrimental the situation becomes. In order to alter the current dynamic and foster a more constructive relationship, it is essential to recognise and acknowledge the other person's contributions and abilities. This can be achieved through genuine and heartfelt praise, such as "You are truly amazing," "I am impressed by your ingenuity," "If you were driving, you would surely not get lost," or "You are so thoughtful and considerate, I admire you."

"Upon recognizing her, you have nothing to lose and are not in a disadvantageous position. Rather, your candid acknowledgment of her is what is strengthening your relationship. It may be more aligned with your current circumstances, and at the very least, it will not exacerbate the relationship's difficulties."

3. [Establishing Healthy Communication

It is important to recognize that communication is a fundamental aspect of any relationship, regardless of the circumstances. The key is to assess the quality and effectiveness of the communication in your relationship. Do you tend to withhold information or avoid discussing issues?

It is imperative that you engage in a candid dialogue with your partner. It is evident that you have reached a critical juncture where it is no longer feasible to suppress your concerns. In a relationship, the act of withholding emotions can precipitate difficulties. Regardless of the magnitude of the issue, it is essential to foster an environment of openness and communication. The foundation for this is a genuine and profound love for one another.

In the event of an occurrence, it is advisable to adopt a composed demeanor and ascertain the veracity of your girlfriend's assertions. It is plausible that she may possess a feisty demeanor while harboring benevolent intentions. It is prudent to engage in frequent discourse with your girlfriend regarding your internal experiences. This will facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of her perspective. It is evident that you have formed a strong bond based on your shared history. However, the current challenges you are facing necessitate a collaborative approach to confront and resolve them effectively. It is evident that you have sought assistance at this platform with the intention of enhancing your relationship. It is my sincere hope that your relationship will continue to flourish and that you will soon overcome your concerns.

It is my sincere hope that this response is of some assistance to you. I extend my best wishes for the future to you and to all those whom you hold dear.

Hello, my name is Strawberry.

From our perspective, when we were not in a relationship, we observed couples and perceived their interactions to be positive and joyful. However, when we were truly in love, we came to understand that finding a compatible way to interact is crucial for any relationship. When two individuals face challenges in their relationship, it can lead to doubts about their compatibility.

From what the questioner says about his relationship with his girlfriend, it seems that her personality may have been influenced by the environment in which she grew up, the people she came into contact with, and the education she received. It's possible that she either grew up with strong parents or was overly spoiled.

It would seem that she has high expectations of others.

From what we can gather about the questioner's girlfriend, it seems likely that she will have high expectations of those around her. If these expectations are not met, it's possible that she may blame and attack the other person, letting them know her emotions and forcing them to change according to her standards.

It seems that she may not have particularly high expectations of herself. It could be that she is insecure, and that she uses various excuses to undermine the questioner and cover up her own insecurity, which may make the questioner feel that he is at fault for everything. It could be said that there is a bit of a PUA element present.

It might be helpful to consider your own limitations.

From my perspective, it seems that there is an imbalance in the status of the questioner and his girlfriend. There is a saying that goes, "If you don't have the life of a princess, you'll have the disease of a princess." It seems that the questioner's girlfriend desires a subservient partner who respects her in everything, but she does not seem to offer the same in return.

This may also be related to the concepts she was instilled with during her upbringing. It seems that the questioner can see from her girlfriend what her parents' mode of getting along is probably like. It may be the case that when the questioner is unable to change her girlfriend, she will always be on top, and the questioner will not be able to gain her respect.

It is understandable that two people may choose to be together, and it is often preferable to find a partner who can support and encourage each other in love, rather than one who may occasionally discourage or affect their emotions. It may be helpful for the questioner to reflect on the emotions this relationship has brought them and to consider whether it is necessary to continue to devote themselves to it.

It might be helpful to seek assistance from someone who can provide guidance on how to handle this situation.

The questioner has tried to communicate with his girlfriend, but she has responded by saying that she cannot communicate with him and that there is a generation gap. This suggests that she may perceive the questioner's communication as an attempt to make her admit her mistakes, which she is not open to. It also indicates that the questioner may not be the most effective person to change her perspective.

It might be helpful for the girlfriend to speak with someone more authoritative who could persuade her to consider that if she still values the relationship, she may need to admit her mistakes and make changes. The questioner could also try to encourage his girlfriend to seek counseling from someone she respects. However, it's important to recognize that character formation takes time, and the questioner may need to be prepared to grow alongside his girlfriend, even if the results are not ideal.

In this relationship, it seems that the problem may lie more with the girlfriend than with the questioner. While the questioner may try to change and adapt, it may not be possible to meet her expectations. However, the questioner can learn about intimate relationships and gain a deeper understanding of their situation. "Managing Intimate Relationships" is a helpful resource for the questioner.

I hope my answer is helpful to the questioner. Best wishes,

I hear you, and it sounds really tough being in that situation. It's important for both partners to feel respected and understood. Maybe you could try having an open conversation about how her words affect you and look for ways to improve communication together.

Clive Anderson The power of time lies in its ability to transform.

It seems like your girlfriend might not realize the impact of her words on you. Sometimes people don't mean to be hurtful but just have a hard time expressing frustration. Could you consider talking to her about setting up some ground rules for how you two communicate during stressful moments?

Finley Thomas If you value your reputation, be honest.

This must be incredibly difficult for you. It sounds like there's a lot of pressure and fear in your interactions. It might help to address this issue directly by discussing your feelings with her and expressing the need for more supportive communication. Therapy could also be beneficial for both of you.

Feeling constantly judged and criticized can take a serious toll on anyone's selfesteem. It might be helpful to bring up these concerns gently with your girlfriend and suggest finding a way to handle disagreements more constructively. Mutual respect is key in any relationship.

Haskell Davis The test of a man's honesty is in the small things.

It's heartbreaking to hear that you're feeling this way. Relationships should be a source of support and happiness. Perhaps initiating a calm discussion about your feelings and boundaries could lead to a better understanding between the two of you. Consider what changes you need to feel valued and respected.
