I see that "learned helplessness" is the hot new psychological term getting wildly misused. the phrase you're looking for is "weaponized incompetence," babes

batmanisagatewaydrug

weaponized incompetence is when your partner does chores shitty on purpose so that you stop asking them to do chores. learned helplessness is when you've experienced so much trauma that you've developed the mindset that you can't meaningfully change your situation and have become accordingly passive.

if your partner is exhibiting learned helplessness they aren't manipulating you, they're displaying a trauma response.

This is a pretty wildly reductive framing that is really susceptible to framing some trauma responses and learned behaviours as good and moral, and others as evil and manipulative. Like I don't think the OP is necessarily trying to create that dichotomy but judging by the comments, everyone reading the post is interpreting it that way lol

Learned helplessness is used to refer to lots of different behaviours in lots of different contexts. There is no rigidly defined diagnosis or guidelines for what constitutes learned helplessness. It's not even always a trauma response, and also people absolutely can and do "weaponise" trauma responses

This kinda moral sorting of human behaviours is reductive and unhelpful imo

merry (my cat) walked into the bathroom once while I was on the toilet, and found a moth behind the door (which he immediately ate, of course)

ever since, he'll come into the room while I'm pooping and check if there's another door moth waiting for him. There never has been. It's been like two years of this routine
