What a painful article.
Reminds me of my relationship with my mother living with her as an adult because I got very sick.
She would fight tooth and nail for an apology over things like this. Even if it was a minor thing that only happened once. In the end, she would consistently make me feel like a horrible person even though I _did_ contribute to helping in the house, if not perfectly. My emotional hurt was never accepted as valid, but anything that would trigger my mom was considered huge. It felt so one-sided.
I was eventually asked to leave my parents house. As a single guy with health issues that make getting by tough, the sort of relationships issues described in this article makes me despair about ever getting married, even though it is something I'd very much like.
- em-bee 4y agoyou can talk about this with your partner before getting married. it could even be worth it for both of you to talk to a marriage counselor before getting married. if you are open about your experience and your worries for your relationship you will be able to find an understanding partner.
