    -Look at their character, not their personality.
    -Can they take criticism?
    -Can we converse and communicate?
    -Are they a person of depth?

      I recently caught my wife of almost 7 years having an affair. She somehow turned it around on me by gas lighting me and telling me “if you put more effort in we can really work this out” her complaint was that I don’t do anything or give her attention which is why she fell for a married co-worker who gave her attention and validation.
      Except these were excuses. I was with her everyday, constantly praised her. The month before I caught her I sent flowers for Valentine’s Day and then again 2 weeks later for March 8th International Womens day, the latter I sent to her work. She was probably already beginning the cheating during this time and still posted my flowers to her story and said how great of a husband I’m and how all women are the office were jealous. Whenever she wanted to go somewhere I always went no matter what I was dealing with in life or how I felt that day or if I even cared about going there. Always went. One of her other excuses was “you never to the grocery store with me on weekends” lmao most husbands don’t do that either.
      Anyways the point I’m trying to make is that part about “can they take criticism” was my biggest red flag. But I just slowly communicated with her and she got better at it but still even 6 years in even she would get butthurt at any criticism. When I caught her having an affair she of course couldn’t take the criticism and the fact that my parents who financially supported her immediately dropped her out of their life. She had the audacity to say “I can’t believe your parents just forget about me. I can’t believe you didn’t fight for me” like completely delusional. Imagine cheating on someone but then expecting that person to fight for you and expecting that persons parents to reach out to you and care about your feelings. Extreme narcissism.
      Anyways pay attention to the red flags boys. Today I can’t even get her to start the divorce proceedings. She hasn’t sent any of my stuff or even answered my inquiries about divorce and my belongings. I think she’s regretting it and doesn’t want me to divorce her because it turns out her affair partner is a SJW weak man who is always crying about his life, always talking about his mental health struggles, and wasn’t even better looking than me. I wish I could say it was the sex but I’m fortunately very blessed in the “size” area so it wasn’t that. And the icing on the cake is the guy has been unemployed for months now.
      So how did I marry someone who threw away almost 7 years of marriage for a weak man with mental issues who isn’t even sought after by other women? By not paying attention to the red flags. In the moment I knew the red flags but I ignored them because I thought “I can be the one who changes her. Inside of her is a decent person” and sure enough many times that decent person came out during the relationship. But in the end you can never change somebody so learn from me and don’t be a hero, a dysfunctional person with moral flaws will almost always remain that way no matter how much you try to change them into a better person.

    Doing the work within yourself should be the first step before requiring anything from anyone. Alot of our wants and "needs" have been distorted because of how we was raised, who raised us,our own exspectations, the world and their abuse of who you should and shouldnt be, struggling to find yourself and who you really are without outside interference. Its really hard,its a war. So therapy really helps to vent through it ALL so you can see you and the world in a healthy way and be confident in that because the world will challenge you. Then and only you can make your request of what you want and dont want, because it will come from still and sound place, without ego and fear.

I have a nice job, we do stuff together, we go out, travel. Now whenever I want to work on my dream and passions, not only doesn't support me, she fights with me why am I doing this, she comes in and stares at my work for a few seconds then acts like I'm wasting my time. When she works extra hours at home, I cook for her, bring her drinks, support her. Now I just need the power to get out of this, because I don't know if it can be fixed

    In regards to being able to take criticism, there’s always elements to being able to DELIVER criticism as well. In a healthy, loving and kind relationship criticism is delivered also kindly and mindful of the other person’s feelings. Don’t fall for the trap of being hurtful because you are getting things off your chest. And if no matter how you do it confrontation still occurs, then it’s time to decide if you need to quit the relationship or if it’s worth seeing a therapist that teaches you how to DELIVER criticism.

If they can’t take my criticism I’m out, I’m not gonna silence myself and my truth and be fake just to not hurt so one’s fragile ego If I got an opinion about a certain matter I need to feel safe to be able to share it if I can’t share it and be myself what’s there?

    Speaking the same love language is ESSENTIAL, be it love for animals, for family life, for literature, for building, for nature, for whatever. And if the other person doesn’t love what you love, then at the very least they shouldn’t get in the way of the things you love. They need to step aside so you can still do the things you enjoy doing. Fulfillment of your individuality should be the biggest treasure that every human being should have the right to enjoy, no matter how deep a relationship may be.

      Correct. When he said mystery it made me think of intellectual mystery. Any person of true depth has an aura of mystery to them, because their intellect spans far and wide enough to make you think "I wonder what could possibly be going on in their head" because you are interested in them. You should feel interested not because they are not sharing enough, but because you feel as though they could never share enough - like they are an endless spring

    Robert undervalues the importance of physical attraction. Without it, and that is the main problem for older people who want to find a partner, there is no relationship even if both people have perfectly matched characters. What is left is : Friendship. Not bad, but not good enough for a partnership.

    • @joanofarcxxi
      @joanofarcxxi Год назад +41

      And vice versa. If you put too much value on physical attraction, you will not have a good relationship that is lasting. Most relationships nowadays are based on strong physical attraction. Good sex is not conducive to a lasting relationship and does not keep anyone together. Many people who are crazy about each other and have wild sex in the begining end up in bitter divorces. But friendship lasts, liking the person for who they are works. Not to say you should not value physical attraction and enjoy godd sex, but there has to be a proper balance. Inevitably, physical chemistry wears off, and then, what have you got left? Physical chemistry always wears off to a lesser degree, because a constant state of arousal is not humanly sustainable. I have options in dating, but I will not date anyone for their looks alone. It really does not impress me. And If they have bad character, I can't care at all about their 6 pack , how many hours they are at the gym, or what sexy tricks they know in bed, or how much money is in their account. I need to respect and admire a person and value them for who they are in order to even be attracted to them.

    That character vs personality thing is such a deep insight. Many a time in life I would meet someone or have someone as a friend and be deeply charmed by their personality. But every time I would interact with them I would feel something was deeply off with their character. They're not someone I should trust. I should distance myself from them. They're going to hurt me at some point. Every time I had these feelings, the relationship with such a person would not end well - and it would have served me well to stop and think very very deeply about this person until I got a clear view and insight on their true character. Problem is, our lives are so busy that we do not have that time and energy to stop and do this analysis - but I hope I will be able to do such analysis in future.
    To talk even deeper about this subject. It is usually not necessary to do any analysis. You should just listen to your heart and follow it. If you have an ominous feeling about someone, you should trust your feelings and distance yourself from them. Let them prove themselves to you to be trustworthy before you trust them. And test them regularly.

    When you first meet someone they don’t put all their cards on the table, if you are looking for a long lasting relationship don’t look at their personality blc most pipo wear masks look at their character closely,can they take criticisms,can you two converse, communicate ?
    Look for someone with depth, someone with similar sense of humor, look for someone with a little element of mystery, they physical looks fade away but you need someone who matches your energy.

    Another key mistake that most people do in the beginning of relationships or dates is revealing too much about themselves. Everytime a man reveals a part of himself or makes himself familiar to the other person too early on, he becomes less attractive and losses that mysterious aura that initially attracted a girl to them, instead learn how to sparingly reveal parts of yourself, talk less about yourself, and more about the other person.

    Finding a partner is like buying a house. Often very limited supply and you have to chose something in a scarce environment. The one you want may be not available at all or not available to you. Many people do not even chose their partner, it's just something that happens. People come together by accident and eventually the woman gets pregnant. Unfortunately, but that is life.

    In regards to sharing a similar sense of humor, he’s right. My husband and I still find ways to laugh together, but we hardly ever laugh at each other. That is something that we take as a boundary that reinforces mutual respect. Otherwise, there’s plenty of silliness to laugh about.

    Yes, sharing a love of animals is critical. I am on the other side of this. I moved in with a man who had three dogs and a cat. This taught me that I cannot live with dogs. And I prefer not to live with cats. I like cats, but I don't want their hair everywhere in my house and on my clothes. The tension in our relationship over the pets became increasingly intolerable over time. I have learned that in future relationships, dogs are a deal-breaker for sure, and having a cat is not preferred. Very important.

I guess my life is a heroic tragedy.

These things will improve your confidence which will make you more attractive to others, and make YOU happier

    Engage with Character rather than Personality. Character is the backbone of who they are not the mask they put on.
    Some overall signs to look for:
    1. How Strong they are
    2. Sharing basic values with them
    3. Can they take criticism?
    4. Are they hipersensitive and easily get offended?
    5. Having conversation with them 10 years later and not being bored
    6. Being Intelligent
    7. Can they surprise me talking with them?
    8. Having similar sense of humor
    9. Having an element of Mystery to them
    10. If you have a value that is so important to you then they should have it too. For example if love animals they probably should like them too

    I've had many people judge me from the outside for superficial things. On the inside, I am mentally strong, intelligent, kind, creative and independent. They never get to that point of getting to know me for who I am in person. Those are people I don't want to be with, those that aren't willing to take steps to build, take a chance and accept me for who I am, we all have flaws, and I feel some people are more entitled to criticise others for minor things.
