>>33345443> It honestly feels like I'm the adult in this relationship and babying her. Despite her being 8 years older. The fuckYou literally are, anon. Put age aside. Most women don't emotionally develop past the age of 14. This is why a man's job is 90% father and 10% lover. No matter the age, they usually are mentally still children. Keep this in mind the next time you have an argument or you have a tantrum or you get weird ass questions like "would you still love me if I were a worm". Shit makes a LOT more sense lmao.
>I feel like I have a little more sway this time because she's anxious attachment whereas all the rest were avoidant. However any little changes she's made so far haven't lasted.She's a broken vessel. You can pour water into her and it'll hold for a while, but it eventually spills out of the cracks and returns to the way it was before. Again, throw out the hardened stuff and get fresh clay.
>I know who I am now more than I did beforeHonestly, you're ahead of the curve. Most people don't even start that process. But lets be clear: you clearly still have some work to do, no offense. But so do I. I'm not holier than thou. I'm in the same boat. Being as aware as we are, we see the areas where we're slacking and can do better. It's those things. And it's always within our ability; never something extreme or crazy. And no matter how much time we waste, whether it's trying to manage broken women or beating off to porn, the work has to be started at some point. Either that or we stay in the same exact place forever. And I've got to say "fuck you" to that shit. Hell no, lol.
