Don't knock. Stop. Have you clearly and clearly explained to the person what you expect from him, but nothing has changed? There are two options for the development of events. The first is to accept reality and lower your expectations. And here many people have a completely logical feeling of indignation. How does it lower your expectations? Smile humbly and agree that he earns little/is always dissatisfied with something/is constantly silent. Well, I do not! Of course, it is very difficult to accept a situation that is completely unsatisfactory. But by continuing to fight, you only make things worse. And, first of all, to yourself. Resentment, anger, irritation are quite strong emotions. They leave traces in the body and manifest themselves in the form of psychosomatic diseases. Headaches, discomfort in the muscles, or something more serious begin. I don't think you need it. The best thing you can do if you are not ready to break up is to forgive the person for his imperfections and understand that he does not owe you anything. It is not for nothing that forgiveness is practiced in many religions. This is where the path to harmony in relationships begins. By forgiving, you stop the power struggle, stop broadcasting negativity, and increase the likelihood that your partner will actually change. Without negativity, it is much easier to come to a compromise that would suit both. How to forgive? One of my favorite ways is through written practice. You write down all the negativity on paper. There is no need to show it to anyone; you can burn the sheets or tear them. If you don’t like to write, then you can take a voice recorder and start talking. Until you feel lighter. This way you will separate unpleasant emotions from yourself. Yes, I understand that not everything can be forgiven. There are some things that are simply impossible to bear. And in this case, it’s worth asking yourself an honest question: “if my partner doesn’t change, am I ready to endure this for the rest of my life?” Then you should think about the second option. The second scenario is to get off a horse that has died. When you are not ready to give up your expectations and you have no strength to endure anymore, it is advisable to break up with the person. Don't torture yourself or him. Trying to change it, to bend it to suit you, is the same as trying to fit into size 35 shoes when you are 38. No one wants to be changed. Change is very painful and unpleasant for many. Especially if you don’t ask, but demand or show with all your appearance: “Well, when will you give birth!” Sometimes breaking up is the only reasonable way out of the situation. By letting go of someone who is not right for you, you give yourself a chance to open up to new relationships and truly meet “your” person. Do you want to understand difficult relationships? I'm waiting for you for a consultation.
