A home should be your safe haven, where you find peace after dealing with the chaos outside, a secure place where you find calm and feel content and happy.
But... what if your biggest battlefield is your home?
How do you live with the constant stress of simply speaking making you feel like you're walking through a minefield?
Looking, saying what you think, asking for a favor can become an atomic bomb.
Relationships aren't perfect; nobody will agree on everything 100%, but there are limits, and once they're crossed, there's no going back.
A shout, a rude remark, a derogatory comment, when respect is lost, everything is lost. Respect is the foundation of any relationship, and without it, coexistence is impossible.
How do you solve a problem if the only response you get is:
"You're putting words in my mouth that I didn't say," "You're making them up," "That's not how it happened," "Where did you get that from?", "You're crazy," "You exaggerate everything," "Here we go again," "Don't say anything to me, I don't want to hear you."
Or simply ignore what happened for 30 minutes and then act as if nothing happened, the shouting and swearing never existed and of course there will be no apology.
Apologies filled with hypocrisy are unpleasant; it is assumed that when you apologize you do so from regret and knowing in your heart that you will not do it again, but asking for forgiveness and doing the same thing over and over again is one of the most false actions that exist.
After experiencing those things, in my opinion, there is only one solution, and that is to end any relationship.

Beyond communication, which is extremely important in relationships, understanding and being able to reach an agreement are crucial. What good is it for them to listen if they don't have the ability to empathize with what you're communicating? I sincerely believe that's the key to everything.
reply
Listen, empathize, speak from love and not from ego. "Only I am right."

Perhaps it sounded that way, but he stressed that understanding is only one piece of what we call relationships.

It's not a good sign when two people can no longer have a respectful conversation. Don't get me wrong, relationships are tough and there will disagreements and even blow ups where people say things they shouldn't but when you lose the ability to sit and talk respectfully it is hard to come back from that.
reply
Exactly, it's complete chaos that literally any trivial conversation ends in an argument. Even over something as stupid as a song. It just doesn't make any sense.
reply
Yes. Safety must come first. Many people deal with this for longer than they probably should, but leaving behind what you've built is hard, even if the outcome is bad.
reply
Many stay in relationships out of habit, fear of loneliness, concern about what others will say, or anxious attachments. Yes, ending a relationship is difficult, but you must be aware when it's no longer working.
reply
Agree communication is the key.
reply
Yes, both parties expressing their points of view respectfully and listening to each other, using a low tone and a calm voice.
