2 weeks agoAsking for a friend: 'My partner refuses to back down or compromise when we argue and it's making me feel hurt and frustrated. Is this normal behaviour - am I overreacting?
Q: I've been dating this guy for a couple of months now, and it's mostly going great. However, whenever we have a disagreement or an argument, it goes pear-shaped. It seems like he just says the opposite of what I say just to wind me up, and he refuses to back down or compromise. Sometimes it happens in bigger conversations like politics, but often it's smaller things and I don't know why he finds them to be such a big deal. I'm left feeling frustrated and hurt.
