Posted by tizianiI think you're probably right.
If you're coming off detached it is fairly common to attract the greek tragedy reactions in even the calmest of people.
Just being vulnerable and saying what you want defuses the situation. If you can't do that or you're not good at it then practice it. Your reactions in the moment say everything. Record those and if they are below par, just work on them.
The other thing I learnt is not to explain myself after a break up. Just keep it short and keep focusing on sharing what you're feeling, no more no less. Otherwise it is setting the relationship up for failure. Both people start to associate break-ups with being open/putting it all out on the table. Then anytime they are looking for vulnerability from you all they do is break up with you.
And the rest is just being adult enough to agree to disagree on how you feel when you feel differently.

Posted by Amv33Yeah I'm like confused who said we were meant to be good matches hey.
I was dating a Libra guy and it was the same way. He made a big deal out of everything i did but anything he did wasn't a big deal... i think Libra guys might be outta their minds and I'm a gem girl. I don't know who said gem and Libra make great couples because he's the worst guy i ever dated by far....

Basically everything was fine until we got into a relationship. He is a really wonderful boy and I feel like I can learn a lot from him.
The problem is when we fight.
We both handle conflict very differently.
I’m the kind of person who’s of the mindset that there’s nothing that can’t be fixed except maybe cheating, drug dealing etc. Heavy duty things.
But he will act like it is ACTUALLY the end of the world. I’ve never seen someone so hyped up and overreact. He will always break up with me during fights too.
He has already broken up with me twice this year and always apologizes and calls it a huge mistake afterwards but never really learns?
I get the feeling he thinks it’s my fault too...
Anyway we haven’t really been texting much because he thinks our main miscommunication comes from not speaking face to face or in some other way where we can judge each other’s tone?
I feel really out of my depth with this relationship and I love him so much but this feels like I’m going crazy.
I’m not sure whether this is too much for me or whether I should just hold on and learn something?
I’m not sure. SOS.
