為什麼你會陷入不健康的感情關係？💔 (Why People get into Unhealthy Relationships)
- Where others would despair of intransigence or meanness, we see every chance of being able to change a partner – so long as we keep quiet and hope. It can take an awfully long time until we are in any position to realise that all told, the situation does appear a little strange and somewhat irrevocable. That it may not be entirely to our advantage to be told again and again that we are mad for wanting greater gentleness, or demanding for seeking a deeper connection, or crazy for wondering why a partner spends so much time on their phone or out drunk with friends. We could be compared to a giant fish, a tuna perhaps, whose had its fins cut off and lost any powers of navigation, so that it bobs helplessly on the current, hoping against hope that it will be taken somewhere nice, but unable to exert any influence on its course. The famous expression runs, when people show you who they are, believe them. But it's hard to be very clear-eyed about who is good and bad when you happen to grow up with a heavy disincentive to perceive certain awkward truths about your own parents, because you were five years old, trapped in a house with them, and love wasn't readily available from anyone else. Our entire perceptual mechanism may have been twisted as a result. Like an animal that can't perceive certain frequencies of light, our emotional eyes may have grown up unable to see difficult traits for what they are. Coldness now just looks like honourable absorption in more important tasks. Sarcasm is read as wit. Being belittled feels like care. We're always more likely to think of ourselves as bad for failing to elicit kindness from a fundamentally lovely person whom we'll continue to adore and admire, despite one or two signs of trouble, as opposed to conceiving that we might have fallen in with a jerk. We may be deep into our lives before we decide we might have had enough of suffering, and start to be curious about what kindness and presence might feel like. We may ever so slightly determine that though our partner may be using every ounce of their considerable logic and charm to secure the status quo, they might in the end just be taking us for a long ride. We don't have to be here. We are, astonishingly, not five anymore. If we're not happy, we can run.
別人會對不妥協或吝嗇感到絕望，而我們卻看到了改變伴侶的一切機會--只要我們保持沉默和希望。我們可能要花很長時間才能意識到，總的來說，這種情況確實有點奇怪，而且有些不可逆轉。有人一再告訴我們，說我們想要更溫柔是瘋了，說我們尋求更深層次的聯繫是苛求，說我們想知道伴侶為什麼花那麼多時間玩手機或和朋友出去喝酒是瘋了，這可能對我們並不完全有利。我們可以被比作一條巨大的魚，也許是一條金槍魚，它的鰭被切掉了，失去了導航的能力，只能無助地隨波逐流，滿懷希望地被帶到一個好地方，卻無法對自己的航向施加任何影響。有句名言說得好
- We are, astonishingly, not five anymore.
