The Way It Should Be?

My Inner Torch

In today's podcast, I explore the complexities and challenges of my relationships with my wife who I suspect has a Cluster B personality disorder. I emphasize the importance of recognizing the signs of dysfunction and reflecting on what constitutes a healthy relationship. I share personal experiences that illustrate my transition from initial attentiveness to feelings of imbalance and emotional turmoil. I touch on the one-sided nature of these dynamics, where I often find myself in the role of caregiver, deeply emotionally invested.

I also explore the struggle between my idealized perceptions of love and the harsh realities of manipulation and instability within these relationships. I encourage self-exploration and personal growth, stressing that I cannot change my wife but must focus on my well-being and the reasons for remaining in toxic relationships. Ultimately, this podcast advocates taking responsibility for my emotional health rather than trying to reform an unchangeable partner who happens to be my wife of 22 years.
