    Learning about this changed my life. I did all of these in most of my relationships without realising. I thought it was normal, now I realise the damage this does and try to be very self conscious when communicating. It’s literally abuse to behave like the four horse men. Hurts me to think how many people I hurt deeply behaving like that without realising, awful

    In my 20 years as a marriage & family therapist, I found the 4 Horsemen matrix to be true time and time again. Toxic words and/a negative attitude towards a partner really come down to disrespecting the person, and we all that is downright wrong. Psalm 34:13 says to: "keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies." I tell people to make a mind shift in a moment of anger; voice your feelings with kindness, but in truth. Remember to speak aloud to your spouse something about his/her character for which you are grateful. Considering others before myself can make for a far more humble and grateful heart. With love from Your Nana

      @@Peecgroave not sure if you’re in a relationship now. It doesn’t work like that in a mature partnership, you wouldn’t want someone to attack you every time you have a concern. Just how they want to be listened so do you. you can stop the cycle of attacking and instead listen without feeling like they’re about to screw you over. You probably had an authority figure who didnt listen to you and they only defended and attacked so you feel like you have to do the same in order to be heard. You can be heard without making defending the priority but actually working on it. You’ll have to finally find accountability in anything and you’ll have to tell your partner to do the same. If not, no relationship will not last because you didn’t learn how to resolve conflict or how to get a need met. Also lots of build up resentment because you’re making yourself a victim instead of working for a healthy relationship.
      I’m speaking from experience, I was super defending. Then I realize I wasn’t being heard and neither my partner. We weren’t actually working for the relationship but ourselves and trauma. Also you wouldn’t like to be with someone who can’t listen and takes accountability. Hopefully you can find someone who can do that so you both create a safe space to express.

      I feel you, i think my childhood and the way love was taught to me in different forms has skewed my pov. I treat others with love and respect as long as it’s shown to me as well and not taken for advantage but the people I do allow in my life and speak to consistently sometimes anger me to a whole new level. I expect them to see things the same way I see them, logically, I hear them come to me to vent and I offer obvious solutions to me but it’s taken poorly and sometimes I resort to sarcasm and repeating myself if not listened to and when they come to me still upset about the same thing. It’s one thing to know all that effects your relationships with loved ones and anyone else but it’s another thing breaking those bad habits and creating new ones. it’s also the environment, I remember when I first started realizing what affected me and started taking steps to mend my behavior and my parents would look at me and say something like “what are you trying to get?” or “he wants something” as hard as those words may sting you need to brush them off. you’re stronger than that, let your actions speak for you instead of your speech, most of the time the first thing that comes to your mind is the wrong things to say so take time and realize that although logical it may not be the right way to come about

Some relationships persist even long after they have turned into problematic or even (bi or unilaterally) abusive affairs.

    To be honest, the problem is not whether we act like this or not. The problem is that if we truly loved the other person we would always make the effort to love them the right way. This is why we treat people that we are in relationships with differently. And that’s why it’s sad. Because if you’re truly in love with someone then you will always try your best. It hurts when a partner is not because we know that if they really loved us they would. Just a thought.

      Mmm I disagree, your message is suggesting anyone who’s ever lashed out doing these things doesn’t love the person.
      So I suppose you’re perfect and you’ve never criticised your partner, you’ve never held a grudge against something they did and later felt resentment towards them.
      It’s not about whether you experience negative feelings, it’s if there are communication pathways and repair pathways that make it a healthy relationship.
      Also. People learn these coping strategies, it doesn’t mean they are unloving or unkind. Usually it’s because when we’re vulnerable we revert to protective strategies or survival instincts. So what you’re seeing - stonewalling is like retreating into a cave where it’s safe.
      Criticism - fight or flight (fighting against something that feels wrong/ unsafe/ unnatural)
      Defensiveness - feeling attacked. Defending.
      Contempt - a build up of these things. Compiles over time. (Noticing that person isn’t like you, isn’t good for you, doesn’t benefit you)
      Contempt is disgust in disguise. It really focuses on a distaste for who the person is at their core. It is the worst horseman and leading contributor in gottmans research of relationship destruction.

    • @aclark217
      @aclark217 4 года назад +10

      This is a really good question. Generally in a relationship where these kinds of destructive behaviors are going on, there is a blaming partner and a withdrawing partner. The withdrawing partner is more likely to be the one that stonewalls but not always. In order for the withdrawing or submissive partner to feel safe enough to open up, you usually need the blaming partner to soften up and do the things that this video suggests.
      If that's not happening then it is going to be much more difficult for the submissive partner to express their concerns and feel validated. But what they can do is try to express their needs as well as the things their partner is doing to hurt them as positively and constructively as possible. If they can validate their blaming partner's feelings then that can also help to defuse the situation.
      "It really hurts my feelings and makes me feel unwanted when you say things like that."
      "I need to know that I'm not going to be attacked right away if I bring something up."
      "I understand that you're frustrated. I would be to. But can you let me share my side?"

      Sounds like me and my husband. Me being the silent one. Here’s an idea. Stop complaining. You live with someone else. Expect that they might put things in places that you don’t understand. Just like you are doing without having them question it.
      Very irritating behavior. You have to have the ability to step outside yourself and realize that your partner is dealing with your “junk” as well. The silence is just evidence that your partner feels defeated. Defeated from having to express over and over and over that your nagging is irritating. Words don’t seem to get anywhere and only cause your partner to be more frustrated, so why bother speaking?
      You talk as if when your partner makes what YOU perceive to be a mistake, they must “answer” to you. Perhaps your partner left whatever they left there to remind themselves to take it somewhere else. You should have the respect for their judgement to ASSUME that if they moved it BaCk it was for a reason!
      My husband is very neat. But sometimes leaves things out of place like every human on the planet. Recently I noticed he left his expensive watch out on his nightstand which is not where he keeps it. I literally ignored it and thought “must be for a reason”. He later mentioned (without me interrogating him!) he left it out as a reminder because it needs a new battery. You see how one can have respect for your partners decisions and placement of things??? You see something there.. especially if it was moved there TWICE… and make the assumption that your ADULT partner had a reason. You are not “in charge” of where things should or shouldn’t be and what is junk and what’s important.
      Just thought I’d get you some insight from the other side. Not pissed at all about this type of thing 😏
      Going to keep rambling. This behavior from my husband makes me feel like I am invading “his space”. Like I am a free loader staying at his house. But that’s not it. It’s an apartment we got together and we both pay equal towards it. It just as much mine as his. Yet I feel like I am constantly getting scolded by my parent to “put my toys away”.

      Sounds like too you, hey baby can you tell me why this is here I'm trying to make the house nice as some condescending display to lower your worth and you could be farther from the truth. Basically him trying to resolve the homes clutter or daily repetitive problems is reminding you of how bad your behavior is and its atrocious. Stop treating your husband like this over such trivial things get over your insecurities and just talk it out over such basic things that healthy people just talk about. There is nothing toxic about the way that was asked what was toxic is this modern nonsense that you have concocted. In my example he even put it away so he is upset your just leaving stuff out that he is spending his time cleaning. Honestly he should just let you live in your bubble and not tolerate such nonsense. Nowhere is he making you a maid by simply asking you to put your stuff back after he cleaned the home you both live in together. Go find some hoarder or separate but don't torture some poor soul with that selfish logic... what are people teaching you women nowadays you are so hell bent on being prideful you can't see the forest from the trees. If you treat your man like that i hope he either tells you off or leaves because that mindset is awful.

      @@Jennifer-fk8kb no. Other people's past bad behavior or even past good behavior does not excuse current bad behavior. If it's something that truly needs to be worked through and it's important to the other partner and it doesn't involve any of these other horsemen situations, it's a responsibility of the other partner to communicate in a healthy way too. Silence is stonewalling.

    But I feel like criticism must be a healthy part of any two peoples discussion, on any topic with outsiders for instance. Though I know I have some of these bad habits. My parents had a bad marriage and broke up when I was 11, and I lived with my mum for ages and picked up what I thought was supposed to be normal but was probably bad habits and examples. Argumentation and defensive, accusations and blame was daily, down to physical thrown things some times. And at different times later in life she was around and interfered I would say. Still that's blame isn't it.

    • @rnopes21

      There's a difference between feedback and criticism. Criticism is to condemn judge and manipulate. Feedback is to improve or better the situation. If people truly want things to change, criticism is not the way to do it, feedback is. That requires following the communication styles outlined in this video.

    Is there another way around this? Is there another method I can use without the "I" statement and it sounding like I make convos about me?

      @KxNOxUTA Год назад +4

      Your feelings are valid. How helpful are they in resolving your situations, though? If you are at work and speaking to a person who has moe power than you, is that a principle you follow, too? Let's assume they are a genuinely nice person.
      When you are not feeling OK with another person, then you're by all means very invited to address your feelings first. However, there are actually ways to do this.
      Do you understand that "feeling frustrated" and "dumping frustration between you and another preson" are two completely different things?. You can first take a lookat your feelings and sit with them till they calm down enough so that you can speak with intent and not being taken on a crazy dangerous ride by your feelings. A break may help (as suggested). And then you return o the situation and tell the other person calmly "I felt very frustrated about what just happened. This is what happened for me. What was it like for you? Do we want this to continue? What can we do diffferently next time?"
      Own your feelings. YOUR(!). It does not matter what triggered them, you own them like you're responsible for a puppy. It can play wildly and that is OK, but it's your work to figure out how to keep it from biting people that you want to maintain a relationship with. And train that. And to give the puppy healthy outlets, cause supressing does typically not work on the log run.

    Not bad advice in itself, but extre------mly superficial and with lack of all intricate nuances and interpretetions of real life situations. For instance: No, defensiviness is not always about blaming anyone, stonewalling is not always a concious choice and a break of one hour is certainly not enough if you got really hurt by something. You might need five days before you are collected again.
