Understanding Denial in Relationships and Its Impact
The Situation
"She denies things I know happened"
The Brutal Truth
She's denying realities to avoid accountability, manipulate your perception, and keep control. It's emotional unavailability in action, showing she’s not ready for honest communication or a genuine connection. You deserve someone who faces the truth instead of hiding.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person may start to second-guess their own memories, questioning their reality to appease her. This is toxic because it undermines their self-trust and can lead to a cycle of doubt and frustration. You can't base your worth on someone else's lies.
💭 Something to Reflect On
What do you need to feel safe and valued in a relationship, and am I making that a priority for myself?
