There's no emotional stability here. It's very up and down, and I do feel very yanked around by the inconsistency constantly. |
I felt like this for the last year in my last relationship. It was up and down. Very draining. It was over a specific issue but I noticed that made me into an angry person. I had to get out to save myself
Sounds like relationship with my dad. You don’t know one day from another how things will be and what he’ll say or do. The only way to maintain sanity it’s keep your distance which isn’t possible with one’s spouse.
