I can assure you it does get better though. usr : i can't bear her activity and when i asked about it she lies at me usr : and afterwards showing rude attitude towards me sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think the best thing you can do right now is distance yourself from her. sys : (Providing Suggestions) It sounds like she is acting toxic and you do not need that right now. I am happy to help and talk with you, but might i suggest going to a local therapist or counselor? usr : yeah, i think so. but i can't control my sadness of being betrayed by my loved one sys : (Information) It will take time, the best way to let it not control you is by talking about it. You gain control over it that way. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Being betrayed by someone you love is one of the biggest heart breaks there is. You have to focus on yourself and healing that wound. usr : but how can i get out of it, it does so hurting. we are in a relationship of almost 4 years sys : (Providing Suggestions) It will not be a quick process that i can heal right now. The best way to get out of it is to see a professional. There are many out there that work on a sliding scale or even free.

(Self-disclosure) I can understand it, it sounds like you are in a position where you oversee others are in a teaching capacity. I too am in a similar position, and when people aren't as responsive to my ideas, it can definitely irritate me.

I'm fine if people aren't responsive to my personal ideas, but as far as a work situation - or any situation where there are pre-agreed situations that must be dealt in certain ways - that is frustrating. I think I expect too much from people - but really my expectations aren't that high, I don't think - if I really think about it.
(Providing Suggestions) That makes sense, but it might be helpful to think about the other person's situation. Perhaps he/she hasn't had the same amount of training? Perhaps, they just need a little more guidance than other people who are more able to complete the tasks.
