Is Your Anxiety Sabotaging Your Relationship? (Matthew Hussey)

I post new love life advice for you every weekend.

Have you ever felt insecure about something that’s happened with your partner and got yourself worked up in your mind? I have. Many times.
And when this has happened to me I know I’ve not brought up the issue in a productive way. In fact, I’ve often approached the subject in a way I later regretted.
What about you? Have you said something you wish you hadn’t? Reacted in a way you wish you could take back?
It’s a horrible feeling when we “sober up” emotionally, the cloud of angry or upset subsides, and we are left with this sinking feeling that somehow we’ve just messed it all up.
If you can relate to being the kind of person whose emotions and anxieties can be easily triggered in a relationship, this video is really going to help you.
My aim with this video is not to guarantee you never get anxious again (would you even believe me if I said that was possible?!). My aim is to ensure that even in those moments where your fears and anxieties become inflamed, you have a way of calming them, and approaching your partner in a way that brings you closer together, rather than hurting the relationship.
Let’s take back control over those emotions and put you back in the driver’s seat. And let’s learn to use our moments of friction to make our relationships even more beautiful.
P.S. Even if you feel you’ve already done the damage and this video came too late, you’re wrong! By watching this, you’ll be able to explain to your partner what happened in that moment and hit reset on that mistake, because once you have, they’ll understand you so much better.

    Bare in mind, you can be secure. And the person you’re with can make you anxious because they’re avoidant and dismissive.

    Yes, it's so True..!! I was a secure one and the person who I loved was avoidant and that turned me into an anxious one day by day, little by little, over a period of 4 years... And voilà..!! I'm an anxious one now..lol. Mostly secure when they pay me attention and communicate but if they tend to get avoidant I tend towards anxious to balance it out..!😂 Gotta learn to let that shit go and just move on if they aren't putting efforts...

I have or had a dismissive avoidant person & we can't meet each others needs cause we have opposite ones that trigger us. I'm too needy/clingy, he needs a lot of space to feel free & trustful yet inside I know he feels the need to feel wanted & loved by the way he use to talk like being with a close partner which stems from his childhood neglegent mother who couldn't give him the attention & love he needed. He's afraid of being abandoned & hurt also from his ex wives past trauma relationships.

    And I can tell as a partner who is super loyal, full of empathy and in love, that it hurts like no other. My ex Girlfriend with Fearful avoidant did this to me. I was so depressed I nearly took my own life, because she just ghosted me and I didn’t know what I did wrong. When her and I met we both immediately fell in love. The first months was absolutely magic. She completely love bombed me like I never been loved before. She did however on our first date reveal her past relationship where she survived an narcissistic ex who was constantly jealous, angry and controlling. I have to admit it was strange she would open up about something so serious that early. Little did I know that was a red flag. So was all the love bombing, a red flag. Cause not only did she make me feel like the luckiest guy in the world cause of all that love. But I also felt the need to be her grand protector, because of all that trauma she had experienced in her past. Anyway she told me I was the best thing that happened to her. I was attractive, a stud in bed. Full of empathy, loving. A great listener. I gave her space, and I was fantastic with her kid. She loved me so much. And each day that went my love grew stronger and stronger. I was happy 24/7. But sadly as I became happier, she became colder. She began to have nightmares that I would cheat on her. I did everything in my power to comfort her and tell and show how much I loved her. It worked for a short time and she would colder again. I brought her gifts and flower many times weekly. I would take walks at the beach and draw hearts in the sand and fill them with roses and then send them to her when she was at work. She told me I was wonderful. Still she became more distant. I asked her many times if she was alright, and she just said she was fine. I didn’t believe her but I wouldn’t push her because she got agitated when I asked. Suddenly she didn’t have time to see me because she had a lot of work suddenly. And when she replied to a text it would be cold,short and take up 24 hours before she replied. I knew something really bad was going on. So I asked her. She snapped and told me why I didn’t respect her personal space. Why didn’t I understand that she was busy. She was a mother with a very important full time job, and she didn’t have time. Also she told me her feelings for was gone. And then she ghosted me. I was absolutely heartbroken. I begged for forgiveness for whatever I did to make her feel that way, cause I didn’t know what I did wrong. I tried to win her back for one month where I got a reply where she said " Sorry I don’t know what happened. I just know I don’t love you. Have a nice life" That was the last I heard from her. So I went in to deep depression. I blamed myself and forgot who I used to be. And I almost took my own life... Thankfully I came to my senses and found many channels about this situation where I learned so much. Not only about her but me as well. I learned to forgive myself, I began to work out a lot and gained a lot of muscles. I educated myself more and found inner peace... One week ago I actually saw her at the shopping mall. She also saw me. She didn’t look like herself. She had lost so much weight, and she looked so tired. My heart broke yet again and I began to walk towards her. She saw me and began to cry and then she ran away. A few days later she texted me that she was surprised to see me. And she told me I was looking so good. She even apologized for everything and and said that she had stopped eating because she was sad always. I replied back that i didn’t care what she looked like, cause I loved her so much. And if she ever wanted to talk then she knew where to find me. She said thank you. So yeah I haven’t heard from her since. But I shall remain in no contact until she thinks she is ready. This is very tough.

    So true. I almost lost my amazing partner because of my “weapons”. Yes your partner can help you heal your wounds, by showing you how much they love and care for you but also by setting boundaries, sometimes putting the foot down. The best teachers are the tough ones. I’m grateful my partner was firm and didn’t let me carry on. His love made me see that it I continue acting this way, I will lose him. It motivated me to seek help, reach out for it, practice mindfulness and self care everyday. It’s so hard but it’s worth it

    Sadly, some people don't want help even if deep inside they know they need it, they simply will not open to you or any one else until they see it for them selves.. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you care enough for them, they just do what they want and that can be toxic for self. Leave for your own sake. People don't change unless they feel the need.. a real one.

    Speaking from experience, anxious attachment is a very serious issue that can take the joy out of everything. Instead of enjoying life with your partner, you attack them with irrelevant aggression, which can be tiring for them. I know how hard it is to control yourself during this. Bit relieving to know other people are also experiencing this and this is something normal

    With the right people they won’t keep triggering us, they’ll work with us. Which makes it easier to do the work on ourselves too. Avoidants may listen to our needs if we communicate then but are not willing or able to change and be aware of their own patterns. Often unable to ask for their needs to be met and instead just acting out without forewarning , withdrawing without explanation. That is the worst for an anxious attachment style

If you are anxiously attached, you need to be able to talk about your fears. That none of us should feel bad about not being perfect, because none of us are. We’re only as needy as our unmet needs.

    I knew about my exbf's anxious attachment style and his wounds, and i tried to be understanding, compassionate, and accepting of them. But in the end, his turbulent emotions and the story he created about our relationship drove him to breaking up with me as an attempt to manipulate me into "meeting his needs". I accepted the breakup as i had no energy or desire to continue indulging his passive aggressiveness and temper tantrums while i was grieving the loss of my heart dog just 2 weeks prior. For those struggling with anxious attachment, please seek help managing your thoughts and emotions. It is exhausting for the partner on the receiving end to constantly dig deep to find more and more patience every time u come at them with weapons.

    @@chiarabeat sorry just saw your comment! And have learned to be more confident in myself. Knowing that I am more than enough. And that living paranoid will only mess me up and I can’t control the actions of another person. I am not saying you should turn a blind eye, but you shouldn’t live paranoid. And you should trust your partner, especially if they are not giving you a reason not to trust them. Also, trust that things always come to light, and I’m pretty sure if he ever cheats, you will find out. And if that ever happens, be strong and leave. But don’t live in paranoia and know that you are more than enough 😊🙏

    That's true. So often it's not even about what they're saying or doing. It's very often about what gets triggered in us. It's never really about someone not messaging us back. It's more often about feeling rejected, feeling we're not good enough. And sometimes it may even have nothing to do with that person is saying or doing, but more the story we've created.

    Honestly... anxious attachment often matches with avoidant attachment. So it’s not entirely the anxious fault to “sabotage” rather it is an interplay between both. Avoidant pushes away while anxious comes closer, both triggering each other. Anxious people often suffer a lot in these kind of relationships, all their worst fears and insecurities coming out. It’s not easy at all. It’s a survival mechanism and a trauma response imo. I have so much compassion for them as I’ve experienced the same. Avoidant people trigger me. With secure people I’m way more secure as well.

    Haha. I’m very similar to both of you. Except that I ended up exploding my emotions - out if no where tears started coming out of my eyes and I became very vulnerable. I was trying my best in being mature by being open, honest and why I’m hurting. She said: ‘I understand, we both are very similar in the way we think (and our attachment styles), and with our overthinking’. This way I figured, I layer all my cards out in the table, my needs wants and weaknesses, if you take a risk being in an official relationship with me then we could go far. Although, for her, she also has some form of commitment issues. It’s been about 2 weeks since we last saw each other, her communication is worsening, but she always says she will get back to me when she decides yes or no. I’m trying to be patient, but the ambiguity hurts. She has power in our relationship right now, not me. And it’s hard not knowing whether to move on or not.

    My anxious attachment made me do and say irrational things. But understanding my shadow side, understanding my own thoughts can weave a story and actually hurt me, using meditation, therapy and my own journey into studying Buddhism allows me to rationalise while also knowing exactly what I do not want. I do not want familiarity, to attach to someone like my parents to repeat a story over and over. It's curse until you're aware of it, then it's a blessing when you learn from it. Learning from Interactions with others is also a gift, having someone there that you can communicate with is gold 🥇

    Yes, I understand exactly what you are saying. It took a long time to recognize that I felt the most secure single. But once in a relationship I felt so insecure. An ex once referred to me as an open wound. I would find one thing and pick pick pick. Ultimately sabotaging the relationship. They were decent “nice guys” but I should of had better taste and loved myself more. After a barrage of failed relationships it’s good to be by myself and work on myself. I know when it’s time I will find the right person. Whatever is meant for you will be for you. Sounds cheesy but I love this saying. 💗

    I love Matthew Hussey's video and they have been so helpful to me HOWEVER I would say that this is ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE ANXIOUS ATTACHMENT STYLE. I've doing a lot of work at the moment to try to heal my core wounds and become more secure rather than having an anxious attachment style, and I was very much the opposite of this I didn't have the kind of protest behaviours that Matthew is talking about here and often I wouldn't protest at all even when I was treated badly for being so scared of being abandoned or alone. For me having an anxious attachment style is all about the kind of behaviour I have when I feel like someone is distancing themselves from me and my constant efforts to try not to get them to leave by trying harder and harder to please them or do what they want

    This is me fulfilling my promise, he’s my favorite after so many heartbreaks. I thought it was time to give myself a break and focus on my job while trying to heal from my previous toxic relationship. After about a year and half I met a man who turned out to be my daughter’s boss , I was reluctant at first but his persistence and high spiritedness got me submissive. We started getting along so well , no day passes without constant communication, I fell in love and didn’t want to be hurt ever again; told him my weaknesses and he told me his, along the line he came across his ex and his attitude towards me started getting cold. Seemed like deja vu all over and so I couldn’t let the anxiety tear me apart. I met a colleague who introduced me to the best set of Private investigators ultimate hack , I contacted and hired them almost immediately and they requested a down payment to commence the job after targets cell number was provided. After few hrs they responded with all the deleted and recent messages , Whats App Facebook Instagram Snapchat gps and archives of pictures he has been sending out; I practically had access to his phone without his knowledge. Turns out he connived with his young sibling to test my patience and tolerance, all the info was carted to me , thanks to the hackers I now pass his test with ease, lol .

    It’s so hard to not assume negative situations when we have those fears because of that person’s actions in the past. So while I know various fears are rooted in a real origin, I could see how my brain was now rewired to always be suspicious or assume negatively when something arises. It does cause a lot of fights by what we build up in our mind. I guess the questions is, does that person deserve your trust, if so try soooo hard to rewire your brain to not assume the worst, step back, think things thru logically before blasting your fears or insecurities. Talk thru them. I’m starting on my road to try my best to improve

    This vid is so short - and probably one of THE MOST VALIDATING AND HEALING EVERRR. Not at all to help me feel "right" - but by explaining so clearly what just happened in a short relationship/dating situation I chose to walk away from due to me not feeling valued or safe after being constantly attacked for dynamics that were not happening between me and the other person. Accusations and misinterpretations of behaviors and intentions that, after raging about them, and being asked (by me to them) if any of it was happening between us to which they replied after a few breaths, "no". Apologies followed. I accepted and understood but had to step away for my own sanity and promise to myself to stop participating in relationships that don't feel good on a basic level. The verbal, emotional and behavioral weapons were very sharp and pulled out on me at the most unexpected moments. You are so right. Their wounds I would have been more than willing to help heal. I have plenty of empathy, understanding and compassion in my heart and mind to share. The weapons used against me though, for situations I have nothing to do with, nahhh. I'm good.

My ex boyfriend wasn't very nice to me (not at all..). He was abusive and violant. My boyfriend now is the exact opposite. Sometimes I wonder how he puts up with my shit, and he is so caring and loving even though some things are hard to get used to. Recently he made an move with his arm, he barely even touched my back with his arm, but somehow that move triggered a bad memory from the past. I panicked and got scared. At first he didn't know what happend, but after a while I explained and he was so understanding and caring. Then I felt save again. He helps me to concour my fears. I love him for that. My fears and anxiety are fading away bit by bit every day. It means the world to me that he is so patient with that and so understanding.

    My exBF also would trigger past abuse memories too but he wasn't understanding and empathetic about it. Once we were washing his car I sprayed his hand with the gun sprayer, whatever those are called. He took the liberty to squeeze the extra large sponge (that was filled with dirty mucky water) over my head. I dropped the hose and he chased me into the neighbors yard spraying me the whole time. I said to stop, I was cold, and he continued to spray me like I was a stray cat that he was trying to chase away. I didn't have extra clothes with me, nor my car to leave. I asked him why he kept spraying me when I said I was cold... he said "because you dropped the hose" (Crazy-making reply). I grabbed my backpack and headed down the street and up the hill, called my bestie to pick me up. He never called to apologize. I think he called later and acted like nothing of it. This was the beginning of the end. It definitely triggered anxiety. I am very envious that your BF was so empathetic and caring. Mine would always say "Im not like your exes" yet then act like they might have. If I tried to explain myself he would try to interrupt by butting in with "B___B___B" (using my name, not B). He didn't help me conquer my fears but rather tried to "poke the sleeping bear' instead. I would always tell him he lacked empathy and he never tried to work on it.
