He has a tendency to fixate on a problem and can't seem to let go of it. He usually tries to imagine the worst, because in his mind that will prepare him for anything that happens.

In my opinion it's pretty bad, it sometimes does feel like a black hole absorbing my energy. Initially I think that I was a lot more idealistic, optimistic and patient with him, but as time progressed I've felt pretty worn out with my own problems and with him sucking my remaining energy on top of that.

We had some intense arguments where I just had enough because it sunk in how unfair this was, and I suppose I saw myself as a victim and refused sometimes to budge and stood my ground, as did he, which only made the arguments bigger. He realizes he has problems, who doesn't, but his are deeply rooted on resentment, fear and low self esteem.

Anyhow, he has started to see a therapist and for some reason this also angered me a little. I guess the idea of having to spend money and resort for someone else to point out what I see as obvious or have been getting through tho him bothered me I guess where I need the advice is at focusing on how I can stop being so stressed out, frustrated, and allowing any leftover energy I have to be drained by him or his tantrums.

I work a full time job 8hrs , commute to work 1. I am a landlord to a townhome and I have type 2 diabetes. I recently joined a gym hoping that this will also give me an extra boost of energy as well as help with my diabetes. I think I'm often seeing myself as the victim lately, like I've gotten caught up in this mess of a relationship and even though I sometimes want out, I can't also help but care and love him and want to help him. Things have been gradually improving with therapy it's been about 2 months now , except since I feel my patience has been worn thin, I sometimes get frustrated or disappointed at slow progress or lack of results.

I would like to find it within myself to make myself happy and hopefully also be helpful and supportive of him.

When wisdom overtakes our ignorance, then we realize the truth of who we are and why we are here. What is our purpose here on earth? Why are we given this human birth? Blaming all of their problems on everyone else—nothing is ever their fault. They may simply lack the emotional intelligence to deal with disappointment, and genuinely believe that you are the asshole for not going along with them. They demand special treatment. The common thread is the toxic person. These are not out of generosity! This alienates you from everyone else. Honestly, some people will suck the life out of you.

You feel alone, but I guarantee people on the periphery can see the toxic person for who they are, and will welcome you back when you break free. Someone who slowly integrates themselves into your every day activities, texts you all the time but not to the point of annoyance, convinces you to hang out with them all the time to the point you start neglecting your other friends, paying for everything, generally doing and saying all the right things to make you just adore them and make you think you need them. Then once they have you, the subtle insults start…then they get more frequent, then they get less subtle…until your self-worth is literally in the trash and they start yelling and screaming at you for being yourself.

Hobbies, TV shows, movies, etc. Then out goes your self esteem. After they hollowed you out to a shell of your former self the abuse really gets going. Nothing is their fault.

They often start small. As an example, a guy I dated for a couple of months told me that the height I said I was incorrect. This conversation actually happened multiple times. The goal for them is little by little you start to question yourself and rely on the manipulative person to be your compass. The attention, the intimacy, the hijinks.

Possibly the best time of your life. Either way you should be better off in the long run. Why are you getting so defensive? Other kinds of manipulation include people who basically shift all social interaction and behavior to conform to their whims and desires and enforce this with emotional extremes- either anger, pouting, or self-pity. How do you treat her? I love big women! Or A lot of women your size would never wear something that short, but I like how confident you are!

The subtle trait in question, flattering your insecurities: Also, if they do this but then invalidate you when YOU are upset. Some people can be manipulative without being assholes. I managed to manipulate a female friend into moving away to a different city so she could get away from her abusive ex.

It must make it easier for them to remember their lies. They will make you feel like you owe them. My God, they will hold it against you forever. They put themselves on a pedestal. They can do no wrong, while everything you say or do is wrong. When someone is constantly pointing out your flaws but wrapping it in a compliment so you cant really get mad..

To me the most toxic people are the ones who do it so well. Sometimes your too close to the situation to realize whats going on. They try to control your life, ex: They always try to one-up you, ex:
