Women can and want to do that to you. Knock you off your perch and soften you. Once that’s accomplished, they check out. Its crazy cuz you don’t really realize this until well after the relationship is over and you had time to go back and analyze things.
She had an image of you before getting into a relationship and that is what attracted her to you (ie/ you being mysterious, confident, suavè, etc.) Then you got into a relationship and somewhere along the way you started to change either because of her or the relationship. From your p.o.v, you think you may have changed for the better (ie. become more mature) while to her you’ve become soft and weak.
Its crazy! How can me becoming more mature make me appear weak? It doesn’t make any sense
But you could also change for the worst...like saying/doing things to her that is out of character (just as you mentioned).
Either way, its extremely vital brehs always strive to remain true and congruent to themselves and not change for a woman or the betterment of a relationship.
