After every fight, my partner says sorry. But the same behaviour repeats. I feel confused because the apology sounds sincere, but I am tired. What should I look for?
My partner says a close friendship is harmless, but I feel the emotional closeness is too much. They share things with that person that they do not share with me. What should I say?
My partner lies about small details, then says it was not a big deal. I worry that if small things are hidden, bigger things may also be hidden. Am I overthinking?
I checked my partner’s phone because I felt insecure. I found nothing serious, but now I feel guilty and also still anxious.
The lie was about a small matter, but it makes me wonder what else may be hidden. Am I overreacting?
I feel jealous when my partner talks to certain people. I know it may be my insecurity, but the feeling becomes strong.
My partner says sharing passwords proves trust. I feel uncomfortable and controlled, but I also do not want to look secretive.
There was a betrayal in the past. We chose to continue, but small reminders still trigger fear and anger.
The other person apologises and promises change, but the same behaviour repeats. I am losing faith in the words.
I do not lie to harm anyone, but I hide details because I know the other person will overreact. Is that still a trust issue?
We disagree about liking posts, following exes, private messages or posting pictures. What is reasonable?
I frequently need reassurance that the relationship is okay. The other person says it is exhausting.
The other person asks where I am, who I am with and why I took time to reply. They say it is because they care.
Write the question as a situation. Please do not include names, phone numbers, addresses, school or company names, social media handles or anything that can identify a person.
Use the discussion to understand the situation, then take a behaviour assessment to see your own pattern more clearly.
