It can be difficult to connect with someone who is only ever remorseful about things once you have pointed out their wrongdoing to them. Even then, it was akin to pulling teeth.
It can be hard to trust someone who each time you bring awareness to their actions, they immediately jump to shifting the blame, becoming defensive, or throwing the problem back onto you.
Relationships like this will drain you. They will begin to hurt you more and more over time. Each time you bring something to their attention only for it to be denied, deflected, or avoided, your heart will break. A thousand heartbreaks will eventually add up to resentment. You tell yourself that you don't want to give up on this person, but this dynamic is not healthy for you.
