Yes, I did this recently. I didn’t really realize that I was doing it at the time, though. I just wanted to push her away, really. So I kept pushing and pushing and getting her more and more frustrated and I could see that she was getting irritated at me. She actually even called me out and said that she didn’t like that I seemed amused that she was getting so frustrated. I wasn’t actually feeling amused, but I guess on a subconscious level I was because I was getting what I wanted.
Then I told her that she “doesn’t even care about me.” And she got very angry with me and yelled (like actually raised her voice and shouted) at me and said “here, you’re pushing me away, that’s why you wanted, right? You wanted to get me angry at you so I’ll give up on you, right? Well guess what, that’s not going to ****ing happen. I’ll still be here for when you’re ready to stop self-destructing and start trying again.” This whole thing did NOT feel good, though. I cried so hard. I felt like such a jerk after. But, it did strengthen our relationship overall (weirdly enough) and give me the kick in the pants I needed to stop self-destructing. I never want this to happen again though....
Thanks for this!
