Despite all this, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.\u00a0 By understanding why your partner acts and thinks the way he\/she does can then help you counteract your reactions to them.<\/p>\n
By understanding their actions and thoughts are usually focused on how they feel, even though they may look like they understanding your feelings and needs.<\/p>\n
When you sit back and go over any conversation you have interacted with them in your mind, you will see that they can try to put everything back on you, or they can be nasty, or they bring up things that has no relevance to the conversation.\u00a0 This is all about them, not you.\u00a0 They feel that the world is against them.\u00a0 Their emotions are internalised, and they overthink.<\/p>\n
When you realise this, you can counteract this, by not engaging in their paranoia or what they say, by stepping back and letting it wash over you, by not allowing the behaviour that you don\u2019t like, you can have a relationship and a quality of life you did not anticipate.<\/p>\n
When engaging with him it exhausts you, still keeping in mind you are already exhausted by the shifts in his\/her mood or energy, you make life harder for yourself and the relationship suffers.<\/p>\n
