Yeah as they say it’s a “The study design is an owner-reported longitudinal and cross-sectional study which only can suggest causal relationships, not an experimental study on cause-effect. ”
Though the prevalence of CE is in the study is in the same range than previously reported.

I would add that you should also make sure both of you put in the same amount of effort into attaining the goals.

I have an ex who absolutely hated every party of keeping a house clean. So I became the de facto maid as well as the primary care taker of the animals.

Eventually I asked her if all she has to offer is her home but doesn’t contribute to keeping it clean, why would I want to be with her? If I am also paying into it on a monthly basis I can easily find an apartment with less of a mess to deal with.

Trust me, put in the effort into your daily life otherwise you just become useless to the other person and they will question your worth in the relationship.

Reply to To help solve the problem of too much guilt, a recent study found that placebos can reduce feelings of guilt, even when the person taking them knows they’re receiving placebos. by chrisdh79

From the article: In the study, 112 healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 40 took part. Their guilt was measured at the beginning using questionnaires including the state shame and guilt scale (SSGS). This questionnaire asks people whether they feel remorse or bad about something they’ve done. Next, the participants did an exercise intended to make them feel more guilty. The exercise involved writing a story about a time they had treated someone they loved unfairly.

The participants were then divided into three groups. One group received a “deceptive placebo”: a blue pill they were told was a real drug. Specifically, they were told that the pill contained phytopharmacon, a substance designed to reduce the feeling of guilt by making whoever took it feel calmer.

Another group received an “open-label placebo” – the same blue pill, but this group was told it was a placebo. They were told that placebos benefit many people through mind-body self-healing mechanisms.

The third group did not receive any treatment at all. This was the “control” group.

After getting the treatment, the guilty feelings were measured using the same questionnaires to see whether the deceptive placebo or open-label placebo was more effective than no treatment.

Usually there's early warning signs. Like my wife and I spent $500 on our wedding and less than that on the engagement ring. It allowed us to spend big $$$ on our future house and vacations.

​

My friend had the opposite issue where his ex-gf wanted some very extravagant rings/weddings so he broke it off.

Reply to Training does not improve clinical psychology students’ mentalization abilities, study finds by lolfuys

I just can’t wait to tell my psychiatrist everything and walk out with it still in my mind, running on repeat, every day, at every hour… and the psychiatrist just gets to clock out and bill me or my insurance company hundreds. They just won’t get it, and I don’t expect them to. Their expensive empathy has zero effect on my mental health. Just give me my Zoloft and stop making me come in here.

To follow up on that, there's a huge difference between what a person says they want and what their actions show that they are capable of handling. At least if you're obviously incompatible, it's easy to recognize. Less obvious is when you both agree on what you want but one party just doesn't put serious effort in and you're left doing everything. What your partner does and how they act matters as much as what they say they want to do and who they say they want to be.
