Marriages work when both of the partners put in equal efforts to sustain and nurture the relationship.
It’s all about taking equal responsibility and working hard to make it work. But sometimes your relationship comes to a position where your partner just can’t stop blaming you for everything.
There might be several reasons for that which you may or may not know. Here are 7 reasons your spouse blames you for everything.
1. They have low self-esteem and confidence
A person who has low self-esteem and struggles with having confidence often ends up creating trouble in a relationship. They don’t like themselves. Thus, when they are struggling, instead of asking for help, they end up blaming the person next to them.
2. They are controlling
Some people want things to be perfect, which couldn’t be the case in real life. They are hardcore perfectionists who couldn’t tolerate someone going against their will. So, if you fail to live up to their perfection you are the one who is often to be blamed.
3. They are stressed
Life can be very stressful at times. If your partner has been undergoing a lot of stress recently, they look out for a way to vent out their anger and frustration. This leads them to blame you for anything or everything.
4. They are self-obsessed
A person who is self-obsessed and a narcissist can never ever take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. Narcissists always think that they are right and seek someone else to blame. You will always find yourself being apologetic about everything in your relationship
5. They are unhappy
If your partner is blaming you for everything, it means that they are unhappy with the relationship. Rather than talking through the problems in your marriage, they look out for a way to blame you for everything. Now is the time when you really would want to do something about it.
6. They aren’t ready to change
Change can be scary to many people. They most likely don’t want to be involved in something that requires them to change. Instead of changing them for good, they end up blaming you for all of the shortcomings in your marriage.
7. They don’t like taking responsibility
Some people are not just ready to take full responsibility for their actions. If something goes wrong even if they are the ones who made it go wrong, they won’t take responsibility for it. They often feel that they are putting more into a relationship, which might not be the case at all.
