Sorry to rehash this, but no 100% of couples do not act like this. Please give some citations to back up your exaggerated claims.
Note: this does not mean digging through people's comment/submission history. Those are not facts.
Look, I apologize for calling you a child, it was not only uncalled for but it did not help to further the conversation at hand. For that I am sorry I was wrong to do that.
Everyone has problems, whether it be drugs, passive aggressiveness, enabling, or anything between/above and beyond. This does not mean their comments should be immediately tossed aside. In fact the people who have lived through things you haven't may be able to provide a unique perspective on certain situations.
Maybe we can have a sensible conversation now that we both are past throwing stupid insults around. Name calling gets us no where, and I was as guilty as you for doing it.
The best thing to do is to simply be honest and straightforward with not only your SO, but with friends as well.
I wish you the best, and my only suggestion would be to open a dialogue with the person who is causing unnecessary stress. You may be surprised at how effective this may be. The key is to state your feelings clearly and concisely then actually listening to the other persons viewpoint. Not only will this help to alleviate issues but yoj show you actually care about what the other person is saying.
Yes I used to be a drug user, but that in no way changed how I deal with social conflicts. If you want to know I had a botched hand surgery which resulted in me getting addicted to pain killers without realizing it at the time as I'd never taken anything like that before. I was able to get an appointment with a psychologist who prescribed me subutex back in January. Since then I've not only stopped taking the subutex, but I help others in the same position through volunteer work. Sometimes the best advice comes from people who have walked to hell and back. There's some saying about the best way to catch a criminal is to be one. Just food for thought. I sincerely wish you all the best In life and hope you can find a way to make a relationship work with the person you chose to possibly spend your life with.
Be excellent to each other and party on dude.
No I'll feelings, I hope all your future endeavors take you to new and amazing places and that you will one day be happy with not only yourself but with the people you choose to experience life with.
Take care.
