When Flattery Crosses a Line Into Stalking

When Flattery Crosses a Line Into Stalking
yeah this
There was a period just over 3 years ago when (even I as a male) I was suspecting I was being stalked (which would've been by a couple other males). In the meantime,, I've moved some 360 miles away from that spot,,, and presumably they do NOT know where I've moved to. One of the (suspected) stalkers received a DUI about that time. Since he temporarily lost his Drivers License he had to move OUT of the area the opposite direction which I moved (I moved West and he had to move East). Good that one was to move,, and hopefully he does NOT know the specific town where I presently live (in case he gets his old Drivers License back and is able to return to this state). But hey, almost 3 years have passed since all that.
Thank you for creating this video.
This was great advice however I can’t help but to despise my MIL. My husband was adopted and his caretaker never told him she loved him, never hugged or kissed him, no type of attention and if he did get attention, it was only if he did something wrong. Other than that she used him as if he was her slave. And now I’m left with an avoidant man who I feel doesn’t genuinely love me but is with me because he’s desperately wants to feel loved and now that he has it, the only way he knows how to show it is by finding things to do for me. When all I want is his time and attention. I hate that that woman adopted him! And I hate that I can’t express this to him because I know he’ll get angry with me about this!
Title is misleading?! The video was about dating and courting and not as stated in the title
My dad got with another woman (who was married at the time) just 6 weeks after my mom died. I learned that this woman also secretly went to my mom's funeral. Then I heard a rumor (a very probable one given the timeline) that my dad was already in communication of some sort with this woman even while my mom was alive and dying from cancer. My dad has not stopped trying to get my brother and I to accept her because she's "good to him". I don't trust either of them. They are a pair of cheaters who only care about their own feelings. A good reminder that just because you're an adult and a parent, it doesn't make you mature. Not one bit.
I know a few people that need some help 😂😂 o lord zezus please help them
Why does a person kill someone who rejects them?
This is really insightful💭 Thank you!
Girl who I only talked to in university for a bit - never once dated or hung out with - brought her parents to meet me one day. Turns out she’s married. I am stepping away, but still feel bad. She still wants to date and am sure her marriage is ruined
Thank you for this video. My ex-wife told me she wasn’t happy when she dropped the bomb, and for the 3 years prior she had been hanging out with a bitter divorcee across the street who constantly called her ex a narcissist. And all the while she was refusing to go on dates with me.
This happened to me and I cut the relationship after 5 years
I'm scared of having sex because of the pain, STDs, and pregnancy. Especially that I don't want to have kids is a huge risk to have intercourse. I know there is birth control women can take and men wear condoms, however they are NOT 100% effective! 😞😓
Thank you for the video. could you suggest which video should i refer to 'How to handle Contempt' ? During initial phase of my relationship (first 2 years) ,she indeed makes me feel invalidated and makes me feel stupid. And, it was really hurtful. (eye rolling, and feeling of disgust). Was able to find courage to talk about it ,after 4 years into relationship. She said sorry, she didnt want to make me feel that way. She acknowledged it. however, she does get angry sometimes, speak in loud tone, etc. how do i navigate and tell her, if I am asking her to speak in light tone, or watch her tone, or dont speak harsh words to me... its not about I dont accept her. (She feels I used to accept her as-is, but now as I have started expressing things which hurts me, or i would like to change, she acts confused, surprised like why now? and you were so accepting at that time, i need that old version, etc?) how do i navigate this. any workbook or other video I can use? thanks!
I can't believe it could happen in a good marriage... and don't think it isn't painful for the two involved. AND bizarrely...it may be good for all involved.
From what I understand there isn’t a lot of help for men or support
Re "I'm not going to talk to you about this any more." Isn't it possible that this is actually one person setting a healthy boundary? For example, when the "feelings" smuggle in passive-aggressive (or just plain aggressive) messages, gaslighting, etc.?
thanks for your shitty advise..... thought than an older woman was going to be wiser
"He never leaves you" Amen 🙏
Cortisol, insulin resistance, depression, low testosterone levels, stress, anxiety.... NO ability to address due to refusal of Wife to address or change her behavior. The affection and sexual withholding is devastating to the marriage and you individually. After so many years, the empty promises mean literally nothing - not changing, have to escape
Seems like the federal government is doing this to the entire population
Being honest will give your woman an advantage and control of you (weak position). She will not have to be honest (and often is not). As for me very dangerous idea.
And don't forget, cheating isn't a mistake , it's a concious choice your partner has made.
Sorry Madam. If he does not want to knaw he is an idiot. Betrayals, lies, technical partners for many years,,robbery (during dovorce also) ect are qute important as for me. Those informations are certailny not for first date. It is not enough to present herself as victim or nice looking.
This my man he is very possessive and jealous like even if I tell someone thank you for holding the door for me he flips
I think also being there, showing up with food. People grieving can feel so lonely. We need community. Individualism has gone too far
Definitely my partner is chaos, is a cicle on and off
1-grass isn’t always greener on the other side. 2-do you have realistic expectations? 3-are you valuing other people’s opinions more than your own? 4-consider your finances 5-you will still need to coparent & you likely won’t have your kids for all special occasions 6-separate only if you’re trying to work on the marriage & need space
Leave dont stay like me go pack youre things and leave and dont GO BACK
Then you need to leave
Thank you for this video. Do you think it is safe for to stay in touch with someone they were having an emotional affair with, even though the relationship was one sided? This means that one party was sending love letters while the other insisted on remaining friends.
Wow... This is enlightening. I've just escaped a relationship with someone who constantly created chaos in her life.... And our relationship. Thank you.
My husband does this. He brags about himself and then tries to fool around with me. It’s so gross. I feel so turned off, I just try to make up some reason I don’t want to be close to him. It’s a gross feeling. No way in hell I’d want to be intimate with someone after that.
This is a waste of time but interesting to hear and listen to. After twenty years of rejection, I have long time not had any joys left in my life. My day will come to depart this world, and then she need not shed a tear, she can actually rejoice. I stay and lump it for the sake of my children who I love dearly.
You are very right to learn from the mistakes. So I will not marry anyone and I will strongly suggest my sons not to do this mistake.
Better give up with longer relations.
Less than 10% of affairs marry?….ok, what percent of people having affairs shouldn’t be married to their partner in the first place?? As in, divorcing, whether or not for someone else is the CORRECT path?
I love your insight. Though for me, while I do feel loyalty to my partner, I don't want to pretend they wouldn't cheat under the right circumstances. Statistically, you are inside the percentage of cheating couples. Christian or no.
Nevertheless, the grieving after finding out is as bad as any other type of affair or infidelity. What made a big difference for me was reading their text exchanges to establish how deep they were in their relationship, talking with a couple of his coworkers (since the AP was a co-worker and I wanted to figure out what type of person I was dealing with), and husband's willingness to go cold turkey with the affair, and getting permission to work from home versus being at the office. We are lucky his boss accommodated my husband's request to make our recovery possible. Still a lot of work ahead of us, taking it step-by-step and trusting the process, is all I can count on right now.
I only wish this stuff on marriage and cheating was available 30 years ago. I sure could've use this information back than. Our marriage relationship end up, what I call it back than was a brother and a sister love relationship. It was like living in the same house with no Intimacy
What for to "form a relationship"? I have learned my lesson after first divorce. I do not need another. I am over 50ty robbed by cheating ex in court. This was really a great lesson. There is nothing to fight about. Regards PS I really like your videos. Keep going like this.

How would you personally explain the difference between someone that is saying these things and is a narcissist vs someone saying things like this that is very self conscious and self loathing?
i hope my gf sees this
