Relationship Troubles

Ellicia

I’ve just broken up with my boyfriend, I seem to have trouble keeping relationships and feeling a bit down does anyone want to talk? And has anyone had the same experience of not keeping a relationship as they find it hard to understand your condition?

  • I'm really sorry to hear about your relationship, I was in the same boot, With one of my ex-girlfriends, Who found it hard to accept my condition and learning disabilities. It was a shock to me, But there are people out there who will accept us for whoo we are and the conditions that we have.

    Thankyou that’s nice of you to say and thanks for sharing this too makes me feel less alone knowing that I hope one day someone out there will accept my condition for now I’m just trying to think about what’s best for me and work on myself maybe then in future I can cross that bridge when it comes to it me and my ex still talk but it so difficult for us both right now

    No one is alone. We are all in this together, If someone has a problem with my disabilities and conditions. I just don't talk to them, I know that sounds mean, But it's better to have those kinds of people out of your life in my case, It's better to have positive people in your life.

    Hi, Mac:

    Thank you so much for what you said, there. Your post really touched my heart and yes, we are all in this together. 

    What you said didn’t sound mean at all. It sounded self-confident and wise. I agree that if someone has a problem with our disabilitIes, then we are wise to just move on and wish them well in our minds as we pursue relationships with those who love us and understand us. Positive people lift us up.

    I have learned that if being around someone causes me to feel down, or even to have a small knot in my stomach, I am better off without them in my life. I have learned to gently disengage from people like that in a way that permits them to save face and often just think that I am the person who’s weird, so to speak, and that’s fine with me.

    Meanwhile, I often observe or hear later on that they treat the other people in their lives the same way or worse than they treated me. Negativity was their fall-back pattern, and therefore unlikely to change.
