The story

My partner and I are in our mid-20s and just everything is going wrong. We've been arguing for the last three days. They haven't let me near them since then. And now they say because I did nothing to "fix" it, they are done with the relationship. I did do things, I offered so many things as well, but none of it mattered. They didn't want any of it, it didn't mean anything to them. They don't feel loved and it's all my fault.

Man, I gotta say, this whole thing sounds kinda fishy to me 🤨 I've been in my fair share of rocky relationships, and blaming one person usually ain't the answer. From my experience, things go downhill fast if only one person does the work while the other is sulking away; sounds like your partner's expecting you to pull off some miracle while doing nothin' themselves. It's honestly pretty unfair to just point fingers and say it's all your fault, relationship's a two-way street, ya know? Maybe they're just not being real about what's actually bothering them. Anyway, I'd say don't beat yourself up too much over it, cuz I've seen this movie before, and it ain't all on you!

sounds like you're really going through a tough patch 😟 I mostly agree with your feelings cause I've been in similar situations myself... relationships can get really tangled sometimes and emotions run high...

hey, sounds like you're really going through a rough time. honestly, kind of feels like a lot of things are being pinned on you unfairly. sure, it’s tough when things go south, but relationships need effort from both sides. sometimes, people just don’t communicate their needs clearly. maybe your partner is expecting something they haven’t voiced. hang in there and try to focus on a balanced conversation. things might get clearer with time.

sounds like a classic case of one-sided blame. you say you did everything you could, but maybe they were expecting some magic fix? in my experience, when someone claims they're not feeling loved and just dumps it all on you, there's usually more to it. "it takes two to tango," remember that; why should you be the only one trying to fix things?!! maybe they're dodging responsibility and trying to make you the scapegoat. give it some thought; not everything's always as it seems.

oh man, relationships can be such a maze sometimes 😅 from my perspective, maybe your partner's struggling with their own internal battles and taking it out on you; you know, misdirected frustrations and all. i've noticed people often express dissatisfaction without offering concrete solutions—or even knowing what they want themselves 🤷‍♂️ it's essential to remember that self-reflection is just as important as trying to mend things externally. in some cases, when two individuals are on different wavelengths, it's more about finding common ground than placing blame. stay strong and perhaps seek common understanding through open dialogue; who knows, this could be an opportunity for growth on both sides 🎯
