Here's the order you chose to handle things!
In a moment of crisis, you answered the important Phone call first, took care of the burning Rice next, pushed the crying Baby back, and opened the Bell last.
"The person who believed a relationship was safe only if the other person submitted."
You only feel safe if you never lose the upper hand, even inside a relationship. The problem is that instead of sharing love, you believe it survives only if you win, so equality itself feels unsettling to you.
Maybe I did not want love. Maybe I just did not want to give up control until the very end. The problem is that the more I need to win in order to feel safe, the less the heart stays with me.
Your Love
You are someone with great ambition.
The problem is that when that ambition fuses with the anxiety of never losing superiority inside the relationship, love stops being connection and turns into a structure of domination.
The Pattern You Repeat
The more the relationship shakes, the harder you try to take command.
Rather than trying to understand the other person, you focus first on protecting your position and restoring your control.
Instead of stepping back to listen, you may set firmer standards and use a stronger attitude to overwhelm the other person.
At first, this can look like confidence and drive.
But over time, the other person feels less loved and more tested and pressed down.
At that point, the relationship stops being a structure of moving forward together and becomes a structure of proving who stands above whom.
The Choice You Regret
You may not have wanted to lose easily.
It may have felt like if you yielded first, you would collapse, and if you softened first, you would be pushed aside.
You may have felt that the relationship would only be safe if you won against the other person.
At the time, that approach may have felt like the strongest kind of protection.
But later, the regret becomes clear.
I may have won the argument and the situation, but the heart I should have held onto left in the process.
PMLD’s biggest regret is the moment it tried to defeat the other person’s heart and lost the heart itself.
