How to best deal with difficult situations?

[Glivre]

So my little and I have been in a relationship for a little over 2 years now. It wasn't a DD/LG relationship from the beginning, but around a year in we really embraced it in earnest. My question to all my experienced CG out there, what is the best way to deal with difficult situations? Lately we have hit a rough patch, and she has been talking pretty negatively about me and what she sees in me. I have been trying to show her that I am better than what she is saying, but it always seems to happen. One second she will be ok with me, the next she is saying she wants someone else. I am at a loss on how best to communicate with her and be able to show her that I am the CG she wants (as when we are doing well, she is happy as a clam, but when rough patches hit, its like a completely different person almost) Thank you in advance for any advice you would be able to give.

I mean in any relationship you have to do your best but any undo negativity can be just as toxic fora relationship.talk to her and try as hard as you can to see her side but at the end of the day if she's going to keep bashing yourself not going to be a great situation

Is there a common thread of things that she complains about with you?  Is there any validity to what she says?  Does your little receive medical treatment for any type of mood disorders?

I think it could be a number of things but every relationship is unique in its own way. All you can really do is do your best . Maybe it’s time to set her free and see if she comes back ? I’m not implying that you should breakup, just saying you can’t force someone to feel something that they don’t. Be strong , be brave , be yourself !

Remember that being the caregiver does not obligate you to sacrificing your own mental well being. 
 

Perhaps take a weekend, a few days, a month or however long it takes apart to look deeply into your situation. It’s never comfortable, but you need to take a honest look at yourself and decide if you truly are doing your best. 
 

It sounds to me like you both may be a cycle of complacency. If you see areas you can improve then you need to decide if the relationship is worth the effort. If it isn’t worth the effort or you make the changes and she is still unhappy, then it may be time to move on. It is better to part ways when you can shake hands and be civil then get to the point where you are attacking each other. 
 

Based on you posting this it is obvious to me that you care about her and want to protect her, but remember those things can exist independently of this relationship. 
 

Good luck.
