The Situation

"She brings up everything I've ever done wrong in arguments"

The Brutal Truth

She’s weaponizing past mistakes to control you emotionally. This is manipulative behavior masked as conflict resolution. It's a tactic to deflect responsibility rather than genuinely resolve issues, ensuring you feel guilty and on edge.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might obsess over their partner’s feelings, apologizing repeatedly in hopes of soothing her anger, which only exacerbates their own insecurity. This is toxic because it reinforces unhealthy patterns instead of addressing the real issues at hand.
