Does a relationship change if you seek support from a strong partner because of a trauma and that partner is weak and mentally unstable for a long time?

Naturally.

When an otherwise strong partner has to "keep things afloat" with two people, it can quickly become too much. Personally, I would never choose a mentally unstable partner because I know I can't handle it.

Everyone has to deal with their own burden.

It's always individual, but in my case, everything changed back then. Things weren't the same anymore, because I suddenly needed support myself and couldn't rely on my then-partner in this absolutely tense situation. I don't know if it was trauma, but my past caught up with me again, and I hadn't yet processed a lot of things. I encountered absolutely zero understanding and had to sort out important things between myself and my best friend, even though I wasn't feeling well and I would have been the last person to reject my already mentally unstable partner, no matter what. It ended with the worst.

This sounds like classic codependency. Everyone has to work through trauma on their own; your feelings are projected onto them, and vice versa. This means that your mental health issues can negatively influence your partner, and vice versa.

Regardless of your psychological issues, your feelings as a woman depend on his superiority. A woman's hypergamy means looking up to her man. If he loses his superiority in the dynamic, for example, by putting you on a pedestal, declaring you number one, etc., your feelings for him will disappear in an instant! That's what feminists simply don't want to understand.

The sense of shame is completely abolished and neuroplasticity atrophies until self-development is hardly possible.

Shame doesn't feel great, but it's still healthy! It prevents you from acting like a complete asshole.

I understand. You feel attacked. Do not worry. I'm not trying to get personal, just explain the situation.

I also laugh because I simply love to laugh. I'm a happy person 😂

OK. Then I must have misunderstood. Happens to the best of us 😉

I assumed that it was your and your partner's problem, hence "you" and "yours" 👍

Yes, a relationship can develop into the opposite, especially since in your example both are unstable and cannot support each other.

A partner is not there to treat this person's trauma…they have to go to a psychiatric hospital or something…If the partner seeks help, nothing changes!
