Feeling Unappreciated in Your Relationship. Here Is Why..
A partner who lacks empathy often dismisses your feelings, making you feel unheard or invalidated. They may focus primarily on their own needs, rarely showing concern for your emotional well-being.
Apologies or taking responsibility for their actions are infrequent, and they may avoid offering support during difficult times. Instead of understanding your perspective, they may be quick to blame or criticize, leaving little room for emotional connection.
This lack of emotional responsiveness can create distance and make the relationship feel one-sided and you may need to reassess whether the relationship is healthy for you long-term

Narcissist abusers. People who suck the life out of you.
This is so clear and the name of your channel is so apt. As there are a lot of educated women only who do not understand what is a toxic relationship.
Yes mam correct
MILs impose this life on the DILs because they went through the same and learnt to cope only to gain sadistic pleasure out of it once they are able to give back the same toxicity that they got Moms counsel their daughters that this is how it will be because that is all they went through… In the end the girl is left with no one to turn to 😢
Well articulated Ekta. Impact on children when growing up in home with domestic violence is not well understood. I really love that the topic you have touched about myth that having children will solve problem that one is having in a marriage; it only complicates issue and makes victim weaker, while children will either grow to learn behavior of an abuser or a victim (both are unhealthy).
Kudos for picking up such an important topic. Raising daughters understanding when you adjust & compromise is important part of living with dignity. I think others (sons, adults) too need education on this topic.
True
Very well said Ma'am.
Well done Ekta .. good job ...
Great content! Much needed in our society! Looking forward to more videos and regularly.
Good detailed articulation. You might consider putting it out to schools as part of parenting workshops.
Thank you for the idea! Surely I will do that
I wish someone would have told me this... Nevertheless, I can advice younger generation.. thank you for sharing this Ektha... 🙏 Looking forward for seeing more of such videos.

I think this applies exactly to mothers too, isn't it?
A mother in law is someone’s mother. However if you are asking whether mothers can posses such traits the answer is YES.
Eye opening!
Good work Ekta
