Title: How do you overcome your SO’s toxicity? Post by: Trobert on May 31, 2019, 08:33:43 PM My wife has berated me over the years in so many ways: physically, emotionally, financially. Physically, because she doesn’t like it that I have health issues that have landed me in the hospital many times. Emotionally, by twisting events that happened to me, such as when I was at a legal stop, I was hit from behind. My wife wasn’t with me and told me later that I had a bad attitude. So, I caused the accident. After the 2 insurance companies interviewed the other driver and me, the other driver was at fault. I had minor damage to the car, but I had 6 weeks of physical therapy. Financially, because while I pay every bill except for her credit card she uses, she said I chose the wrong profession. Thus, I supposedly should have chosen another profession to take care of her bills, too. She has made me think I am never enough.
So, even though she has very rare moments of being nice, the result of her toxicity, I have gone into therapy over the years. Nevertheless, I find joy in my 2 part-time jobs. When I get praise, it is really hard to accept it, because I was praised by my wife for so long, and she did a complete 180. So, how many of you deal with the constant toxicity, and how have you overcome it, if at all? |
