Throughout my life I would fawn a lot because I was always trying to be respectful and noncombative and maintain harmony. I especially did this in marriage with my wife because I was always taught as a Christian "husbands lay down your life for your wife as Christ did for the church" and this was twisted projected onto me to believe that since I am a Christian it's my lot in life to be a doormat because that's what Jesus was. Jesus wasn't a doormat. He's a king. And he has authority, boundaries, rules, and he won't be mocked. So I finally grew a pair and learned that this false representation of Christianity actually is what many men believe, and as a result they enable evil, abuse, and injustice. So I started pushing back and as soon as I stood up for myself, the oppressors would always resort to playing the victim or gaslighting me in response. If you stop one form of manipulation, the abuser will just resort to another kind. But never back down. Hold the line and hold your ground. You stick to what you know in your heart of hearts is right, healthy, and wise. As long as it's not evil, defend it with all of your might and don't ever let others walk all over you. If you fail to do this for yourself, you will betray yourself and you will never be at peace.
Thank you for sharing such a powerful and deeply personal perspective. You’re absolutely right-true strength comes from setting healthy boundaries and standing up for yourself, not from allowing yourself to be mistreated or used as a doormat. It’s important to recognize the difference between self-sacrifice out of love and enabling harm. As you’ve pointed out, Jesus stood for justice, truth, and love with strength, authority, and boundaries. I’m so glad to hear you’ve reclaimed your voice and are living in alignment with what’s right and healthy for you. Your experience of pushing back against manipulation and standing firm in your truth is an inspiring reminder for anyone struggling with the fawn response. Healing comes from honoring your own worth and holding the line, just as you said. Wishing you continued strength and peace on this journey!
