Dealing with negativity
I was in a relationship in with this guy for about 4 to 5 years. Although we had planned our future together but as problems started piling up, we broke up in 2019. Off late he has been trying to contact me saying all kinds of things like he is very lonely he misses me and all that. But when I start talking to him nicely, there is this sudden change in his behaviour towards me and he starts treating me badly saying all sorts of hurtful things. Sometimes he want to sort things out the other time he becomes disrespectful for no valid reason. I wish to know the reason behind this sudden change in his behaviour and why some people behave like that. Are these people seriously messed up? Or do they just want a reaction from you for attention seeking purpose or anything like that. He has become not only negative but toxic too.

Dear human, thank you for sharing and reaching out. It sounds like you're facing a challenging situation being in a negative and toxic relationship. Whatever might be the case, toxic relationships are always bad for one's overall well-being and affects one's peace of mind. Many people might behave like this but the reasons vary for each individual. In your case he might behave like this due to many reasons such as fear of losing you, anger towards you or generalized anger towards relationships, and many more. This behavior of his could be due to any past trauma events, negative life events or present situations. This could be unraveled only through therapy where his behavior patterns would be probed more deeply. You could do three things at this situation: 1. If you think this is something that you could work as a couple, you can seek couples counseling and sort this out. 2. If not think about explaining this situation to him and asking him to seek individual therapy for his issues. 3. You consider leaving this relationship because toxic and abusive relationship does no good to your mental health.

Hey Thanks for reaching out. I hear u. And I understand that his guy doesn’t make u feel happy for sure. On the contrary very evidently he brings toxicity. Most of the times our body n mind give us a feedback abt the other person. U just need to trust urself ans ur senses for what they are telling you. I know it’s not as easy when feelings and emotions are involved. It might be good to begin with what is it that is stopping u from ending this. Or why are u still in this relationship. Answers to these will be worth exploring in a safe space of counselling.

He has taken you for granted. He has signs of borderline personality disorder. Just try to recover form it and come out of this relationship. He might be into some other relationship.
