    If we ever want to have a relationship with connection and passion and trust, we need to understand what our partner needs to feel close and connected to us. We will not have intimacy without understanding and meeting our partners legitimate needs. The hard part is figuring out what are healthy needs and what are unhealthy needs, this video will answer that question for you.

    Geez. I'm the one who says one thing and end up doing another :( Just yesterday I was supposed to wait for her to come back late from work and go meet her at her house once she arrived there... but we barely slept the night before, so when she was on her way home, I told her I was so tired and sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open and asked her if she would be mad if I cancelled. She said no, but she was disappointed. This morning I messaged her using tips from a video I watched on this channel the day before (the name is "Fix your Fights in 30 minutes") and I managed to get her into meeting me today. She gets away when she's mad, so I guess she wouldn't talk to me for about 2 days if it wasn't for that video, so thank you, Jimmy. Your work here is treasure

      If I may say this - admitting that shows me, a random internet stranger, just how dedicated you are to real change and a healthy relationship. While I could sit here and list the things I am justified in asking for and justifiably disappointed by not getting, I want to follow your lead... you are absolutely not the only person who says one thing and does another. Speaking for myself here, not you, I often get lost in my needs not being met to the detriment of meeting someone else's. When I say I will do something because I have full intention to and then I don't do it, I get defensive. Because I know I'm wrong. However... there's a nice warm freedom in admitting a wrong and being strong enough to be vulnerable enough to change. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense here. I just wanted to say that your willingness to post this and the actions you took to address it to affect change are truly admirable. Thank you for posting this. I wish you two all the best!!

    My little grain of salt, evn a hurt forgiven is not forgot. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting about it. It mean moving forward with the pain the other person inflicted to you. When the person hurt you again in the same way again though throwing the mistake back into the argument isn't resentment, it's supporting the point that the second time hurt even more than the first. My ex kept hurting me in the same way over and over again and I forgave her but at some point started reminding her all the previous time she hurt me the same way, that I discussed it with her, she said sorry and she wouldn't do it again but still did it again. She told me I was just holding a grudge and these were only past and why I couldn't forgive her. It made me think ... I did forgive her, I didn't forget.

We are both conflict avoidant, so it is really hard for us to actually "fight", this leads to so many stuffed-down feelings.

    Helpful ! Each of these could be a video topic. Also maybe add a reminder that giving your partner a chance might include explaining yourself more than once. We sabotage ourselves by assuming that if they didn't make changes quickly that they just don't want to change. Change takes time so instead of that assumption, choose to find another way to explain it. But before you go at it each time, get their opt in by asking them if they'd be willing to revisit that previous request.

      There have certainly been a lot of misconceptions and negative connotation and emphasis on women submitting, but it’s definitely about mutual submission. Loving someone sacrificially is a form of submitting in a way and Ephesians tells men to love their wife as Christ loves the church and gave Himself for her. Not just women submitting to men. It takes a lot of humility to be in a healthy relationship!

    Unmet expectations are a huge source of conflict. And quite often they're unmet because we never said anything to let them know! I've passed along that advice to others, including my daughters.
    I still have unmet expectations, but in my case I have up years ago trying to sort through conflict because it was always my fault. I've been doing a lot of thinking, writing down thoughts and feelings, taking notes while watching your videos, and I have a friend who understands who is praying for me. I plan to write down what I want to say so she and her husband can proofread it and make sure I'm respectful but clear and not tackling too much at one go. If he's willing to listen to me, then we can have future discussing about specifics.

I did not feel safe in that relationship because he hid me from his family. He was emotionally stunted, and could not become vulnerable with me or open up. I wish I had left sooner when I saw the signs that he was never going to tell his family about me, but I loved him and saw potential which is why I stayed. I let that go on for a year. I am the happiest I have been now because I am the partner that fulfills my needs. But I hope someone with a good heart and full with unconditional love crosses my path someday.

    Thank you so, so much for sharing this. I’ve watched many videos about relationship issues and intimacy and this is by far the best one I’ve seen in terms of summing up the issues I faced in my relationship. We just broke up yesterday because of several of the issues you so clearly and concisely talked about here. It honestly felt like you were speaking to my specific situation. A few of my (healthy) needs weren’t being met, and after many, many difficult conversations, and attempts to change things I finally reached a breaking point. I had to accept that my partner simply wasn’t willing to or interested in doing the work needed for continued intimacy and connection. He showed me that through his choices. It took a long time, but I finally had to let go of my (unhealthy) need to make the relationship work even though I was the only one actually trying. It’s disappointing and painful, but I know the choice I made yesterday to finally let go of that need to make it work was the right one. And this video just deeply reaffirmed my certainty about it. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼

      Omg haha. I love this comment. I agree with you but I am those people you mentioned. And I tell my friends the same thing: avoid people LIKE ME. I know that’s self limiting, but it’s more that I used to be this way and am sweeping up the remnants of that version of me, so that I can be a good partner. I have just always said to watch out for people whose defining qualities are adventurous, spontaneous, fun, adrenaline-junkie, “free spirit”. We are people who are addicted to excitement. I’m in an adult children of alcoholics program, and that’s one of the traits of a “para-alcoholic”, so it’s similar to people with addictive personalities. We look for dopamine hits and rushes. So we tend to get bored easily and move on to the next. Not good at sustaining things or even interested in it. I have these qualities but I want a life partner and a family so I’m working hard to change them. I am extremely emotionally immature, and that’s why I’m staying out of relationships for a while.

They love drama, get bored really quick, tend to stick to unavailable people, avoid responsibility. I've been hurt a couple of times, one was worse than the other, and now I get where it comes from. There's definitely a pattern. I wish you the best in your journey, I hope you'll find your lifetime partner and will be happy with them!

    This video was really great. You touched on a great many nuances of this topic and treated all of them with great care.
    I especially appreciate that you hold both sides accountable. Questioning whether you have truly been respectful when bringing something up, "'I feel like you don't care about me' isn't a feeling", "It makes sense that the way I phrased this made you defensive" and generally pointing out that you need to be accountable for the things you do.
    Because let's be real here, these are the problems men seem to face more often when dealing with women. Doesn't mean men aren't causing their own share of problems in relationships. But these are the problems *men* face. And it really makes me feel heard to hear them addressed respectfully, because next to nobody seems to do that these days. These issues either get swept under the rug because the content is actually intended as feel-good emotional reinforcement for women, or it's being brought up in the redpill community as a means to justify resentment against women. Both of which is bad.

    The Gottmans’ studies found that how participants handled the first few minutes of a conflict had *predictive* value for whether they would be together six years later. It is not accurate to say that it “determined” whether they would. It’s not “A causes B;” it’s “When we observe A, we are more likely to observe B, and vice versa.” This may seem like a fine distinction, but it reminds us that it’s never as simple as doing one thing to have a healthy relationship. Those first few minutes are a good indicator of broader relationship dynamics, but it’s not as though they are the one moment that counts.
    Edit: Still a great video filled with wisdom to live by. Thank you for laying these topics out so well.

    The way he treats me, refusing to speak to me for days if I speak about something that does not relate to him or his sexual kink, demanding that I be on call 24/7 and beating himself up because I must be mad at him if I, say, happened to be sleeping or in a meeting at work, is hard on me. I feel like I have a giant container of stinking garbage in my belly whenever he speaks to me. But breaking things off with a kinkster who is in so deep is on a moral level with returning a puppy to the shelter. I hate this so much. Being alone is so much better.

    Food for thought…
    If they keep bringing it up, it may be that they received an apology for something, but the person won’t stop doing it. My ex had BPD. Cluster B personality disorders are extremely difficult to live with. He would use apologies to pacify me, but would never actually change his behavior. I would bring up examples to show him that collectively over time, he had not even tried to change the behavior and thus it remained unresolved. Also, because of his BPD, he would often apply meaning and tone to things I said or did that simply wasn’t true.
    If someone has inconsistent behavioral tendencies, has deep rooted issues with abandonment, and makes up stories in their head all the time… they might have borderline personality disorder. Confirm and run before it destroys you.

    thank you! this spoke to me in so many ways and helps me look deeper within, as I have been doing.
    What I would add is curiosity as a healthy need for myself.
    What i had a hard time within my relationship was the physical reactions I would get from my partner and how her reaction brought up within me was the feeling of being unsafe speaking to her. So for me safety is very important. While I can see my part in her reactions i feel it doesn't mean her reactions were ok. Just as i see mine were not ok either - sorry i needed to say all this.

    I seem to do little more than grieve my needs that can’t be met. I’m doing better dealing with the hollow feeling and it’s starting to be less overwhelmingly painful. I’ve been able to start looking at things from a more clinical place. The hardest part is going to be fulfilling the sexual needs he has while feeling unsexy and physically disgusting. Its hard to get myself in the right mindset

    I asked my partner to please not leave me alone in the path of an approaching hurricane. I'm a 63 y.o. female and can't move or see like I used to and was very afraid. He said, "you'll be fine," and went to stay with other family members. The storm passed. It was terrifying. Other than tripping over debris and bruising some ribs, I was physically spared. Mentally and emotionally, still suffering. Am I too needy? I don't want him in my presence any longer.

    I have heard, “why are you bringing up XYZ!? I’m not rehashing that with you!”. To which I respond, “Because ABC is the same as XYZ. My feeling is clearly the underlying problem was not understood because we are repeating it”. For example, you were late to meet me at the restaurant reservation without calling. Now you are late to the company holiday party without calling. Frustrating…

You also have to look within and heal from what happened also. What I have found is that we have to look at the root cause and what part of myself allowed these behaviors. I had and have to then work on those parts and heal and make whole what has been broken

    I want to get a therapist or couples counseling, but she won't. She's always got a bunch of reasons revolving around fearing me not accepting the therapy unless it is supporting me or as she puts it takes my side. Which again doesn't make sense cause it's not about Me vs. Her it's yin and yang balance and double-edged love not 1 sided

I heard someone say that the real purpose or goal of couples therapy is to help the couple go in separate direction and break up because if a couple go to a couples therapy it means their relationship is broken and I wonder, Is that true ? When people go to consult is it generally because their relationship is already broken beyond repair ?

    • @JimmyonRelationships
      @JimmyonRelationships  2 дня назад +5

      While it’s true that SO often people wait until their issues having eroded all the trust and intimacy in the relationship to seek help and atleast 30% of couples in counseling break up, there are still a TON of couples that heal (if both partners actually want to do the work)

    Maybe my 27yr relationship could have been saved if we both had these insights, skills, and desire to save it. Maybe not, because when resentment festers for too long, or there are core incompatibilities that are never even talked about, then it's like beating a dead horse to get back up.

    I tried to communicate and now I don’t care. I just really hope he leaves in a few days. I’m so desperate, I’m even giving back his rent money for this month and it’ll be the 20th when he gets it. I just asked him if I could get some food which I was going to pay for after coming out of work and going to the hospital with my mom because her blood pressure was too high. He wouldn’t even take me to get food because I was so tired but he wanted me to make him food when it would’ve been easier for me to just buy us something to eat so I could rest too. I’m so tired of him.

    I'm hopeful at some point that you might address scenarious that involve a partner that WANTS to put in the work (as opposed to being disinterested in it), but struggles to do so. My partner struggles with anger, and he wants to be able to bring all of these postive aspects to the relationship, he is looking to constantly improve and have conversations, yet he gets emotionally overstimulated then defaults to attacking my character, yelling, and threatening the relationship most times there is conflict. What if someone wants to do better, but struggles to overcome their own insecurities?
