Amen sista! I'm glad you were able to get out! I'm in that tipsy boat right now. Just yesterday in fact, I even told him he was blaming me and also changing topics to deflect from him taking any responsibility but then he tosses out the "right dear...you're right dear....I'm wrong dear....whatever you want dear..." in a sarcastic tone that makes me not only want to throat punch him (I never would!) but on top of not taking any responsibility for his part and NOT apologizing, NOW he's being fake and condescending to me. So, I ask myself: How long will I allow him to treat me this way??? How long before I can remain calm enough to articulate TO him that which I articulated above (minus the throat punch part! 😉)??? At what point do I put a fork in it and call it done and move on? What would I tell my best friend and am I willing to be my own best friend?

@@pammypampam6920 Did you decide to be your best friend at last? The ripple effect is positive from your defending your dignity and peace of mind and your good standards for decent relationships. You cannot change him, but you have every right to change your own circumstances -what you are part of and what you will not be. It is difficult to change from a less powerful positions, but refusing to be badly treated (your standads) and simply leaving is one of the few options. You are/were not obliged to stay in a tipsy boat - such a dangerous situation for your mental health. How did you resolve your problem? All the best wishes for 2024, hope it will show a light in tunnel and give you more hope, day by day!

The best my husband could do would be to say " I'm sorry you're depressed but your feelings aren't my responsibility. So stop treating me like crap just because you're sad". And being treated like crap is me telling him I'm unhappy. Basically I'm not allowed to ever be unhappy. He literally doesn't have to clean, cook, or do any laundry because if I ask for help I'm nagging. If there is an argument I have to apologize or he won't talk to me at all.

The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans may be helpful in educating you on the 15 forms of verbal abuse. He can only get away with abuse if you don’t enforce healthy boundaries. If he still doesn’t show up emotionally, you may be faced with a choice to learn to be healthy or continue your live the unhealthy life you are currently living. I wish for your health for you. You have to have some self respect to hold others accountable to respecting you or leaving them. Please choose to care for yourself above people pleasing him.

Your channel should be called "Relationships for Dummies, the manual or how to guide to the marriage of your dreams"

Toxic apologies: "I'm sorry you were hurt." "I'm sorry, but xxxx." "Ok! I'm sorry! Get over it!" REAL apologies include accountability, a plan to do something differently in the future, and truly trying NOT to repeat the offense. An apology followed by the same thing happening again is absolutely impotent. (I'm a couples' therapist with 20+ years experience.)

Always 110% spot on. Are you certain that you are not a counselor or have some sort of training? I don't know what you do for a living, but you would be an amazing counselor.

I’ve been avoiding conflict at all costs for so long, and in the end the cost was my marriage. Last night after 6 years, we finally went over finances and one of the many things I’ve been avoiding, turns out wasn’t so bad. Even though we’re getting divorced, I feel closer and at peace somehow.

Married for 17 years. I am guilty of telling my husband that he is too sensitive and that I cannot handle his extreme emotions about anything I try to communicate. Everything feels viscerally painful to him, which seems a lot, and it is my fault for his extreme emotions and intense pain. I have been trying to bridge the gap between us, but I feel like emotional whiplash. As soon as I am comfortable and we are making" headway," he blows up and coerces me for sex. He gets scaringly angry if I say no and makes me pay with curtness and indifference.The problem is this pattern has made me incredibly adverse to sex with my husband. I don't know my sexuality anymore and have to get sauced to meet his needs; he feels satisfied, and I feel shame. All the advice for preparing seems out of reach if I cannot meet my husband's intense need for sex when I do not think I can anymore if I want to be a healthy person. Bearing much but desperate, being in doubt for 15 years...! A disappointing marriage with sprinkles of dysfunction.

He could be bipolar

And it's not just whether or not they do chores. When he complains after doing the chores, the emotional connection is worse off then if he hadn't done them at all. Just yesterday I was asking a question whether my husband was going to be meeting up with someone to go over a Bible study and he snapped at me saying that he already told me it wasn't going to meet yet we have not talked about this in a day or two and he could have talked to the person since then. Then all I ever did was ask him to stop snapping at me I'm not putting up with him snapping at me and escalated into me and locking myself in the bedroom for h and him claiming he's going to leave and he actually packed up but never left. Then at 1 a.m. he says he finally will apologize but then he does the fake apology like what you were describing which is not an actual apology. Not only that but he kept changing the topic and talkin about random chitchat stuff instead of actually apologizing for the way he treated me. He called me to c-word and all sorts of other garbage. He also uses the few things I do talk to him about and trying to share my feelings against me during these fights. 😢

@Jimmy - this very well might be the "right" format for everything you share. You have a powerful, CLEAR way of sharing these hard-learned lessons. Have you considered writing a book?

Omg this. 💯 It hurts even hearing the nail get hit on the head.

Watching this on loop, about to take precious notes .... Bless you Jimmy for all these free treasures..... Your contents are a providence that must be spread .......❤ Being a committed husband is a noble chivalry that needs to get its importance back.

Disconnection? Or control. Disconnection is control. " I fail every time I choose to" Logic, I think Dark Places is the song.

This is good stuff. I am like oh boy in the green hat. I can say it back to you but I am still working on embodying the advice. I am trying to create an emotional safe space for me through God as I look to Christ to guide me spiritually and relationally to my fellow human being. I am practicing these tips with friends and family as well. Lastly, just sent my ex-girlfriend a 5 minute apology video. I didn't realize was she was talking about this whole time. Silly me.

@@JimmyonRelationships answer my comment above please

Man, some of these comments from women are so so saddening. 😢 I found these videos because my man is doing all of those things that Jimmy says men do. I have to say just how shocked I am as to how accurate Jimmy is with the way our men make us feel! And I've been trying to calmly communicate to my man how devalued, unloved and unimportant his across have made me feel. Up until a few days ago, we hadn't spoken to each for 2 weeks (we don't live together yet) because he had hurt me, I expressed it but he immediately selected and came back with some stupid argument that had nothing to do with the problem. He does that to always make things about him instead of addressing the problem. I did not even bother responding to his ridiculous comments because I'd learnt from too many times previously, that it's absolute waste of time trying to communicate to him. When we finally did speak, he said that he will never be the kind of guy that would be devastated if I died rookeries. So I said, ok fine, bye and hung up. That's when he changed his changed his tune and for the first time in the 2yrs we've been together, told me that I am important to him and that he knows that he's selfish etc but didn't know how to change it. I said that, if what he was saying was truly honest and that he was 1000% committed to our relationship succeeding then I would like to go to relationship counselling (even though we're not married). The next, he surprised me by sending me a link to one of Jimmy's videos. I'm addicted to them. Lol. I just hope that he also watching them too like he tells me he is. I'm scared that he won't follow through. He's 51 and I'm 53. I know that he's the one for me...... if he can just have the courage to follow through with his desire to change. I don't trust him anymore though. 😢

I've watched many of your videos and this is the first one so far that's had religious references in it, which weakens the message for couples who are not religious.

Regardless, I still find a lot of value in most of what you say.

If you honestly want to work on keeping your wife, you do need to grow into the best version you might become of your true inner self. It takes time and you can ask your wife for some patience as you are learning, but not endless patience. You do need to be afraid of losing her and you need to not try to just please her with small tit-bits, when it is already far down on the slippery slope. The risks are obvious, your relationship is in huge danger, don't slack in your efforts: but you can still gain from learning. You have a chance and there is some hope - take it! Be very determined! Daily study of good books and writing a journal with lists and ideas and mind-maps are effective methods. Take from screen time and make other radical and immediate shifts. You can walk briskly or run to clear your head - but don't run from chores. Up your sleeves, be healthy tired each evening. Good reads are among others: John Gray, Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars; Thomas Gordon's books; Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People; and Julia Smith's Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before. Take them not as Bibles but as prompts for your own learning. I'm sure John Delony's books are helpful, too, though I myself haven't read them yet. Anyways, if you want fast results, your working diligently with books, making notes, and doing the suggested exercises, is way faster forward than councelling/talk therapy once a week. But one can do both. All the best wishes for success through hard work and heaps of repeated honest effort! You can do it.
