What's something you want/have had trouble bringing up with your S. O?

When I was 20 I had an even more blunt way of communicating so I found myself kinda saying nothing which in hindsight probably caused more problems than I realised at the time.

When I sense in a big way that someone else or even a group of people are not good for them and I do nor want them in my life. I wouldn't chose them.

It has always been that I step back/withdraw myself.

If and when confronted why I act this way they are not ready to hear the truth and instead get defensive and protective of themselves and that someone or that group.

I have experienced being right, always, actually, lol, I trust time will tell. I only fear what damage will then be done.

When I have said something, the truth, it only creates distance, more. If I don't they see me as if I create the distance for other reason they don't think are OK.

What I have done lately is that I have said something and then refer it to be my own, and mentally I have this big wall against any way that they will react in a negative way. At leadt then they know earlier that it primarily not them, something they've said and done, but someone in their life they feel different towards than I do, but it does too effect my feelings for them, as in me thinking they are stupid, actually, for not seeing what I am. Not feeling safe with them as in knowing I can trust their socalled instinct when it may come to orher things.

I have been accused of being jealous or envious and that really does it for me telling them they are free to think what ever but that is not my opinion, they are free to go with them and let me be, in fact I would prefer if they did. I withdraw, cut myself loose and mentally, emotionally adapt my relationship.

Deep down, despite all the negative responce I do think they prefer it is not them primarily having done or said something, it is just me thinking they don't see the truth.

I have not spoken at all when I fear they will tell their other favorite someone or group, if I don't want that.

Anyways, this is something I think is difficult no matter what I do.

Oops, sorry, I drifed from talking about so to basically everyone in my life I could face this problem with, but anyways, hope you get me..

i have multiple mental disorders, so bringing up stuff related to it without either sounding crazy, attention-seeking, or nitpicky is hard lol

[NathanDavis]

I didn't have those kind of issues...

bringing it up is easy... for them to accept or agree, different story... lol

[Telekinetic-Potato]

[NathanDavis]

As a relationship coach, it's my aim on Girls Ask Guys to help you navigate these tricky communication waters! 💬 It's totally normal to have struggled with bringing things up in the past. Many of us have been there, myself included. Your partner can't read your mind, so it's important to share your thoughts and feelings, even if it feels awkward at first. Practice makes perfect, and being open can actually bring you closer. Just remember, communication is the secret sauce in a loving relationship! 😘🗝️

I am trying to get her to move to Florida. Winters are way too long here and the state is one of the most expensive places to live and it is really sort of a shithole. My kids all live here so it is a hard sell. I am working on my kids to move too.
