  • We previously did a video on signs of relationship compatibility. But what about signs that you're not compatible. While compatibility is no guarantee of longevity, studies show that it is directly related to the quality and satisfaction of our relationships. Simply put, the more compatible you and your partner are; the happier you’re likely to be with them.

    I think the most important lesson I learned as a young adult is that true love goes both ways. You can have someone obsessed with you, who thinks you’re perfect for them, and thinks you’re their soulmate; but if you don’t feel the same way back… there’s no way it’s going to work. Dating someone out of pity is not only insulting, but incredibly harmful to them. If you know it’s not going to work out, just be up front and tell it to then straight. The pain they feel now will fade a lot quicker than the betrayal they’ll suffer if you feign romantic feelings for them.

      Yes, my ex did just this with me. We been together for 9 years, and suddenly she broke up with me saying we r too different and I thought she was perfect. 40 days have passed since the broke up and I cry every day. I got depression because she also humiliated me. It’s the worse pain I have ever felt, I even came to think about ending my life some weeks ago. She used to say she wanted to marry me and have kids, and that I was her soulmate. To lie like this, for so many time, and then broke up and put all the blame on the other person It's one of the cruelest things someone can do to another. I can assure you the pain is almost unbearable.

    Me and my ex shared the same views and values about everything. Sadly other than that, all 7 in this video checked out. After the breakup, I learned that the "perfect" relationship does not only require compatibility or similarities - it requires maturity, the conscience to constantly give the best to each other without expecting a thing in return.

      Is it worth it though? I mean, is your NEED to have a partner that big that you're willing to compromise your integrity? I know I don't. I like to be and do whatever I want at the moment. And hey! The plus is that I feel the same way about my partner! She can do whatever she wants whenever she wants to AS LONG AS SHE RESPECTS THE FACT THAT SHE IS IN A RELATIONSHIP. In fact I value my ALONE TIME much more than I do the time I spend with her. Don't get me wrong. i love her and I like to soend SOME time with her. But I much prefer to be alone. Me myself and I.

    The “opposites attract” idea needs to have caution yellow tape wrapped around it very tightly. I married someone who was a polar opposite and at first it was fine it as life became more complex those differences became repeated areas of disagreement and leading toward divorce. We also married very young and didn’t think it through very well.

    • @binebum1
      @binebum1 Před 3 lety +29

      It's living hell. In the beginning we tolerated our differences, assuming that we both would grow a little closer to some middle ground. But we never did, not one inch. What were small differences became the relentless ironclad refusal to build common ground, even in the smallest detail. E.g. I couldn't stand instant coffee and he couldn't stand percolate coffee. That shouldn't matter! ☺ But in the end, after 30 years, it became a symbol of never being able to share a pleasure together; never growing closer together, in not one thing, in our choice of food, friends, an outing, how often to defrost the fridge😅 It's amazing how not being compatible on any issue undermined the love we had. We really dug each other

      When you are young and in love, you tend to ignore the negatives. You hope things will sort themselves out, and the passion is like a drug. However, it’s when time passes and passion fades, that you can see things more objectively. By that time it’s normally too late.

    Being alone is often WAY better than being in a toxic relationship. Sometimes it’s just not worth it. Every situation is different, but we have to be realitic if it is only causing suffering and pain. We have to love ourselves enough to protect ourselves if it is causing more harm than good. Some situations are possible to improve, and some just aren’t. We can change our perspective, but in the end, our mental health has to matter. ♥️

Seriously, most reasonable people understand that nobody is perfect and aiming for perfection is actually a bad thing, because it's too much pressure and we connect with each other more over our failures and struggles than our successes by the simple fact that we all struggle and mess up but not all of us succeed. Plus if people see you as too perfect, they don't like you and see you as arrogant.

  • @socco69
    @socco69 Před 2 lety +783

    I left my wife after 20 years together. I think being so different to each other eventually found us out.
    At first, that was the exciting part - surprising each other and learning about our very different backgrounds. We got married about 18 months after we got together and began a family soon after. We had 4 children in fairly quick succession and for 15 years or so, had our hands very full.
    Once the kids became less dependant on us, we suddenly had a lot more time available for each other but found we had silently drifted during those busy early years. All the while there were nappies, school runs, activity clubs, and all the responsibilities that keep you rushing around, we were fine. Occasionally, you might get a sense that you're not really connecting much as a couple in those years but you lie to yourself a little and convince yourself that it's just because you're so busy with work, bills, the mortgage and the kids...........you tell yourself once the kids are a little older, you can get back to focusing on each other. In our case by then it was too late..........we had become strangers with nothing in common apart from being parents to the same children.
    It can take a while in retrospect to see all this - it wasn't clear to me at first and initially we would blame each other and look for faults in each other to identify what was causing the problems. Ultimately, I believe if either or both of us had recognised that we were becoming distant from each other and acted sooner by bringing it out in the open, we might possibly have survived by making some lifestyle changes. I think we were both in denial and shied away from what was happening to us, pushed it to the back of our minds until recovery was simply impossible.
    From my experience, the key is to spot these early signs of disconnect and explore them with each other at the earliest point. Don't ignore them or pretend it's not happening. Whatever your family circumstances might be, the relationship with your partner needs to be nourished and cared for. Even in those hectic times where it might seem right to pour all of your time and effort into other responsibilities and demands of daily family life. I'm one of the few people I know who separated without there being any affairs, drinking, gambling, abuse, etc. Staying together however, when the love has died is just cruel on the kids and indeed each other. It creates a terrible sadness in the home. It's better to part and allow everyone the chance to live life in a healthier home environment.
    For me it was a tough call but a good call - hard at first but eventually the best option from a situation where feelings of guilt and failure can make it difficult to see straight..
    Sorry for such a long scribble but sometimes our experiences may help others.........I'd love to think mine might.

Then I met my now boyfriend and he's the sweetest person alive, I feel he listens to me and I don't even have to make a huge effort to explain how I feel to him, is like he knows, is like we are like in each other's minds, I feel so blessed that I have him in my life.

    I find it interesting how feelings
    can overpower one's ability to think rationally despite how many signs dismissed purposefully and to be hoping for something unrealistic. My best relationship was also the one with the most incompatiblity. Not because we were able to forgive each other for misunderstandings, but when we decided we were not right for each other, we respected each other and learned what compromises cant be made without feeling like obligation or losing one's self. We were hurting each other without having the intentions, we cried together because our vision for relationship and love was different and we wanted to change the person, and if thats you, build the courage and strength to walk away from it so their pain and yours is no longer consuming them and they can be free and you can love them and yourself that you prevented them from losing themselves. If you feel regret, just remember you handed a blueprint for their happiness and now they know what they need and they couldnt done it without your help.

    Happily married 26 years. It's ALL about shared values! And I'm talking about big important things. My wife and I share the same opinions about kids, work, money, religion, politics, and sex. If you disagree on any of these six subjects you will have problems.
    We do NOT necessarily share the same interests when it comes to what to watch on TV at night or what color to paint the house or what time to go to bed. These are little things and are not important for a lasting relationship. Sometimes I've talked to people who get hung up on one of these little things, thinking that they are compatible with a new partner because, for example, they both listen to the same type of music. That kind of thing won't keep you together for long. Soon, one of the six BIG things that I listed first will get in the way of your relationship.
    Shared values are what is important but don't mistake similar interests in little things as being the same as shared values.

It’s a tough time in a persons life nearing 60 when you are unable to meet a person who you are attracted to.

    I used to believe that all relationship struggles could be surmounted if only both parties were willing to put in the effort. Now my views have changed: yes, the willingness to nurture the relationship is very important, but the two people have to be compatible first.
    Another change in me is that I no longer try to change/fix the other person WHATSOEVER. If I feel the need to change the other person, then that person is not right for me. It also can result in unsolicited advice, and I hate that. I hate receiving it, and I don't want to be the one giving it. I also don't try to change myself anymore just so that I can please this person.
    I tend to detect these signs of incompatibility early on now (i guess me being an infj has something to do with it) and I don't force things to work anymore. (This came with another major change in me: I'm fine being alone) I just say to the other person that we seem to have very differing views on things, it doesn't mean that you are wrong or I am wrong, we are just not compatible and that's fine. We agree to disagree and we can leave it at that.
    An interesting thing that I have seen though is that some people get angered by this. They tell me that I need to change this and that, I need to empathize more (it often comes out when I don't agree to their views) if I wanted to have any chance at relationship down the road.
    But I think this kind of reaction is important in another way: it reveals one's true views on relationships. It also confirms in me that my decision was right: we are not right for each other. Everyone can have their own views on how a relationship should be (just like how my views have changed themselves too) but this itself can also lead to incompatibility.

We talked 4 hours a night, didn’t matter what it was about. Now it’s about half an hour a day, and conversations are quick to end. We have as close to nothing in common as you can get without having literally nothing in common, and I think it’s killing the relationship slowly. I think not talking as much sometimes is normal, but there’s a difference between not talking as much for space, and because you have nothing to say.

I was left with no other choice.I love my wife so much and I just dont know why she chose to betray me, I have been a good husband and never for once cheated on her. I tracked her down to the hotel where I found her with another man . my heart was broken cause i never thought my wife has been cheating ,i am glad i was able to get help through this hacker You can contact them at ultimatehack003 at gmail or Whatsapp +17202954268 or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into her phone without even touching her phone.I have enough evidence against my wife now and I am thinking of Filing for divorce.

    I am going through a breakup with a guy (who basically shares all my values and trully loves me) because I have lost all attraction to him and even a kiss has become hard work. I believed i was being shallow or flat out imature. But if your bf doesn't respect you enough to make some effort everytime you meet him, overtime you loose feelings. Thanks 4 video.

      It's not necessarily just about being around other people, but also having some time apart. Even if it's just time to yourself.
      I (an extrovert) just got out of a long term relationship with an introvert. He rarely wanted to hang out with friends or go dancing with me. I respected that, but he would get mad when I wouldn't stay in. If I told him I made plans with a friend, he'd get upset because he expected I be home to watch TV with him every evening. He didn't feel like I needed to be out of the house more than two nights a week (including work related events). In three years, I only met a few of his friends in person, and we only hung out a few times. He didn't like most of my friends. The ones he did became "mutual friends", but that meant I really wasn't supposed to hang out with them without him....and he was rarely in the mood to hang out. Once, instead of asking permission to hang with those friends, I phrased it, "So'nSo, invited us over, I'll be going at 8pm. Let me know if you are up to joining." This caused a fight.
      When the pandemic hit and I couldn't go anywhere, he started calling me annoying because I'd want attention while he was gaming. Then when I'd find something to do (like watch a tv show he didn't like so I could watch it without him), he'd finally sit down with me and want to talk or change the channel.
      The problem wasn't that he was an introvert, it's that he was controlling and wanted to control my interactions with others while keeping our interactions on his terms.
      When I talked to my introvert friend about it, they said that if it were them, they'd have loved a few evenings with the house to themselves.
      ***It's all about knowing and respecting each others needs and limits, and building social resiliency so you aren't co-dependent to an unhealthy extent.***
      I know I need to be around people to be happy- especially if I have a stressful week (even if it's people-related stress), I need to recharge with positive social interactions. When I am able to get that, and if a partner is willing to accommodate that, then I am able to accommodate their need for alone time or nights in (which comes first doesn't matter, as long as both people are accommodating). Balance.

She, however, hates social interactions (often times even ones with me), hates physical affection (which I crave), loves alone time, and prefers distance in relationships. I did really care for her and I believe, at a time, I geniunely loved her, but I don't think it would've ever worked in hindsight. It's probably for the best she broke up with me.

    Stayed with someone for 7 years, recently broke up because as we have changed my attraction to them has altered as well (this is more than us getting old, they present differently and act completely different). It has been a struggle to have grown to care for someone deeply, to even watch them grow and heal and to see them become someone better, someone caring and kind but be unable to commit to them because of the attraction feeling platonic. I know they are hurting too, probably more, but the heart ache is so much worse than anything I have ever felt.
    I hope we both do well, I hope we can stay civil, to care for someone so deeply still but not be able to stay with them... If anyone knows my situation and has advice please comment.

Maybe talk to him about having kids, not useing protection can also add a little bit of spice to the sexual relationship. Obviously I dont know your situation, I can only judge from what ive read. If you want him to initiate sex more often, make him confident about it. Like if he only succeeds in initiating sex 1 out of three times, he will do it less then if you get exited every time. As a man myself I can say that it makes a huge difference how eager the woman is about you.

      I agree on this. Everyone is different. Even if we did come across common interest, hobbies or fun. There will always be a margin of differences in outlooks in life. And those differences is not meant to tell that you're incompatible with each other. But it's something that will take mutuality and vulnerability to work on each others understanding, boundaries and acceptance.. then that's the work that makes compatibility. Not the other way around. I mean, we're all different. In beginnings of relationships, weren't we all different individual people when we met our lovers? And they too the same?
      Compatibility gets easily become a misconception of becoming a "packaged" deal with people. It puts people in a box and when they found out their differences in the long run, they stop putting the work. And this i think, in my opinion is the problem. Compatibility is something that is willingly abd mutually worked on. Not granted on a golden plate or instant package. We're all born and raised different. And thats why relationships take work too.

    Discussion idea: how to leave an incompatible relationship that you feel stuck in, especially if you lack money. Should you leave first or get financially secure first?

    The problem is when you fall in love with someone and you realise they’re bad for you it doesn’t mean you just fall out of love with them then and there even if cutting your losses is the better choice it’s still severely painful when you’re in love with someone

      ForzaTerra89 yeah. It took me over 20 years to finally stop caring for my toxic ex. We have children together and they’re all grown up. I hate having to be around him at family gatherings because he still tries to make me look stupid in front of everyone. I have no feelings left for him now. I wish he would find someone else and move on. Like actually move hundreds of kilometres away lol 😂

    Having experienced a longterm relationship with a person I wasn't compatible with and breaking up with them, this video just hit my heart and soul. The feeling of liberation after the break up was the best thing in my life, before I met my current partner who is all the things I dreamed of and more

      I've had exactly the same experience, it's crazy. My long term relationship was also my first one, but it took me years to find out that this person was not good for me. Now I'm with someone that loves and respects me deeply, and it makes all the difference.

    I have a habit of stalling, but videos like this give me some reassurance that it isn't worth it to hide discomfort. I've been in a relationship where i don't have passion, and my worst comes out around them.
    Time may improve communication, but not incompatibility

    I feel like a lot of people stay in incompatible relationships because we've been conditioned to believe breaking up with someone is wrong, or mean or insensitive, but the reality is that sometimes relationships just don't work out, and that's okay. You're not a horrible person for not wanting to be with someone anymore.

      @@zekken8250 dude I calmly broke up with my girlfriend because we are at 2 different life journeys. She didn't do anything wrong and I explained that. She seemed understanding but few days later she blew up my phone and was all nasty to me and I completely understand she is angry and frustrated at what happened as she didn't cause this situation. I sent her a text saying I understand she's hurt and she needs to vent, I forgive her actions and am still available to her as a friend. Unfortunately after her venting she blocked me so she never got the message

      Psych2Go I found a new boyfriend while my ex is dating other girls trying to flex on me by sending me pics of him with the two new gfs he got with while I been with the same guy for 6+ months after my breakup last year. It was hard at first, believing I wasn’t good enough but in the end...the new guy has helped put me back together because I know I am good enough. My ex is funny though, if he’s trying to flex and even mentioned wanting to get back with me after he cheats. When I said no, he said he wanted friendship. I told him no still, since I don’t want trash in my life anymore but he still wants to argue about the cheating thing if I got screenshots of him admitting to said cheating. What a joke. I only wish he was honest with me in the end, but he still tried to change his story yet again, to make himself seem like the good guy when he tried to say I techinally cheated on him for being sexually assaulted is just...no. Straight up no. I hate that guy. I did not ask to be sexually assaulted and him saying I cheated by being sexually assaulted is...wrong on so many levels.

    My ex-wife and I were together for a total of 8 years. The main things among that broke among others us are as follows:
    1. Attraction and passion disappeared with weight gain.
    2. We didn't enjoy socialising with each others' circles of friends
    3. We didn't get each other, each others' emotions.
    4. I am a bit more orderly, tidy and proactive than she is and that was always a sticking point.
    We are still friends.
