Hot take: All the messaging around "communication is key" has done more harm than good. I'm sick of my friends "communicating" with their bum ass boyfriends and holding out hope that THIS TIME it will get better.

I also think it’s dismissed peoples feelings in contexts where it’s like “well if it hurt your feelings you should’ve said something” when there are some circumstances that are just such obvious betrayals it should be common sense that you hurt their feelings. I agree communication is so important but I think ur right that people misconstrue this message sometimes.

Maybe one more emotional talk will finally convince him that it hurts your feelings when he ignores you. Of course he said he would "work on it" the first 9 times too but THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT? Maybe if you just "communicate" your feelings again, he'll fix himself?

No amount of communication can fix a relationship with someone who DOESNT CARE

RIGHTTT like obviously you need to communicate for things of personal preference, but then you catch people saying shit like "well i didn't communicate with him that it makes me uncomfortable for him to spend the night at his ex's house, so really that's my fault" YOU'RE BRAINWASHED!!!!!!!!!!

Just because he's not yelling at you or refusing to hear you out on your "communication" attempts doesn't mean he's actually hearing you or that he gives a single fuck about what you're saying or that he is going to change his behavior. But if I verbalize any of this then I'm a misandrist. IM SICKKKKK
