Search Results: using the word love

My stepdad is being an idiot AGAIN.. he doesn't like me around him and treats me like dirt. He pretends to be nice and all but uses "positive" words under a negative tone to hide his fueled narcissism. After walking 3 laps around the block for 2.5 hours, I went and threw out the trash without wearing a glove or mask, and I didn't know he or my mom would be downstairs.

My stepdad said to go wash my hands, and I was just going to do it in my room upstairs so I could change my shirt and possibly take a shower. Then he forced me to wash downstairs because he thinks I can't be in my room without washing my hands in the bathroom downstairs. I told him we've been doing this before the coronavirus and it makes no difference. I told him to STOP watching the news and he went mute.

After having some watermelon I watched my brother play, I would say I love you to my stepdad and he got kinda offended, he said what? I feel like my stepdad really, really hates me and is only around because of my mom. He said Im YoUR fAtHeR fIgUrE Im TrYiNg To Be NiCe GeT ThOse NeGatIve ThoUghTs OuT Of YoUR MiNd like he is trying to SHAME ME.

There is literally nothing in the law or constitution that says people can't criticize others' acts. I did just that while I was minding MY OWN business and he literally overbears me and says he doesn't. What is wrong with him 🤦‍♂️ he thinks I get defensive and offended but HE is the one of all that

My stepdad DOES have a history of being a giant CREEP. 10 years ago when I was just a child I was in trouble and he threatened to take away ALL my clothes except my white underwear. Biggest reason why I hate him to this day. There were worse situations but this is the one.

I know for a fact bitch is a cuss word if used in the wrong way. However, I was quite surprised to hear my brother use that word. He was on his XBOX calling one of his cousins a bitch, but my mom and I both heard it and she didn't do anything about it. I looked at him like, "What the heck did he say?"

He loves to yell while on his headphones too. I know bitch is an audible word on most TV stations. But OK for an 8yo to say?

My mom really only cringes when she hears f*ck or the N-word. My stepdad is a bit more strict and barely even tolerates "frickin"

WHAT IS funny however, is that I never hear my brother use light cuss words like crap, damn, hell, piss or ass (he always uses substitutes like poo, darn/dang, heck, pee and butt); but he went on to use a word at least a level higher. I'd say bitch is on par with bastard or shit, depending on the context.

First of all, I'm not much of a talker. And she ain't either. We both understood that when we started the relationship and was comfortable with it.
But after 3 months into our relationship, the lockdown started and then we had to stick to texting and rare video calls.


I used to find topics to talk about, but now, even I'm having a hard time making a conversation with her. And now, i feel kike she's bored too. Coz she was the one that always used to text and video call me first.
But now, she texts and dissapears, then comes back at midnight and then we talk non continuosly till 2am or something.
I even noticed that there isn't video calling anymore. Especially no I love you or i miss you.
I understand that she's not that kinda girl, but the thing is, she used to say all those things, and now when she suddenly stopped saying it, I don't know... Feel so sad thinking bout it. I talked to her bout it and she said it's nothing like you think. Just coz i don't say those things, doesn't mean I don't love you and all.
But for some reason, it's a bit hard. And I can't make her say those words or anything.

We have fights here and there, coz we are both short tempered and things explode. Is that why things are dull? Is she keeping a safe distance from me and not talking much, so that she can get back to normal?

Is this normal in a relationship?
What have you guys done to tackle such instances?
