Is being agreeable and having no backbone a good reason to break up with someone?

Not only my first boyfriend broke up with me because I’m on the autism spectrum but also because he says, its an embarrassment having a bigger and talIer girlfriend, agreed with everything he says, well some things, I butter up (sugarcoat) things than to be blunt and straightforward. That irritated the crap outta him and also he said I had no backbone and he can’t be with a girl that can’t stand up for herself and let people walk over her. You’re a “yes” person and you can’t even be honest and I shouldn’t have to drag an opinion outta you!” He treated me like garbage and I took it. He looked at me saying, “REALLY?! Are you seriously going to let me treat you like this?! Your dad is right about one thing about you. You’re WEAK!” And just walked off. He cheated on me with another girl and he broke up with me over video chat and the girl he cheated on me with is petite and not tall and broad like me.

Although I agree that he shouldn’t have cheated on you and that was wrong on his point, he made a valid point about you being a suck up. From his point of view on that, you seemed to me a people pleaser, you agree with EVERYTHING or most things he says, you don’t have any self respect for yourself and you’re not honest. Also nobody wants to be in a relationship with someone that has no backbone or lets people push them over. I admit I myself gotta work on being more firm and dealing with difficult conflicts and saying what I mean depending on the situation, BUT anyways that’s why he broke up with you. Not only you made things worse for him but you made things worse on yourself. Like I said he was in the wrong for cheating on you but you were also in the wrong for being a pushover and not being honest and straightforward. Why would I want a relationship with someone that won’t be straight up and honest, especially when I screw up? Nobody wants that. Would YOU want that? Even though the truth hurts, it’s better to be told that then a sugarcoated lie. Without TRUST and HONESTY, there’s no relationships or friendships. Just saying.

@CraftyMarieArts You can’t even talk! You said it yourself that you need to work on being more straightforward and deal with conflicts. You have no room to talk! Besides he shouldn’t have cheated on me. I told him I could change and I was sorry. He told me I was a pathetic excuse of a woman because I’m too weak to stand up for myself and let people push me over. Also he said I didn’t even care enough to have my own opinion or agree with everything he says and I rather sugarcoat it and let him go down hill. I don’t want him to do that but it’s too late. My friends that move for the same reason except for the cheating part. They told me until I decided to me more straightforward, honest and not scream at criticism, don’t bother contacting them.

@Abwiee Hell no!!! She can’t even talk! She is isn’t straightforward and scared of conflicts herself. She’s a hypocrite! She is wrong!

@LaylaTheTallGirl except she recognizes that she's like that and is working to fix it, so she is a step further in the process than you are and can speak to it. Honestly, I don't want to get into a deep conversation with you about it. You don't want a conversation, and you don't want help, even though you keep posting about the exact same thing over and over and over again, as if you want advice. But you don't want advice. You just want people to agree with you. Everyone else who has gotten into it with you on this post you've got mad at, and blocked. I agree with them. You can block me as well if you want, but I agree with them and think that you need to look into your own behavior and how you act instead of always deflecting. Because this thing that you keep doing, where you don't listen to what your friends are telling you and then try to get mad at them and turn the entire world against them is toxic. And I know that you got mad at somebody else calling you toxic, but the fact of it is that it's true. You want people to lie to you about your behavior, and I'm not going to do that. It's toxic, and your friends pulling away from you is the outcome and your own fault. NOBODY else's. And even if you go out and get brand new friends, It will continue to happen because you continue to not change your behavior and try to blame everything on everybody else. Now you pushed everyone out of your life and you continue to not be happy. So what are you going to do when you have nobody left to blame? At some point you're going to have to confront that your behavior is the problem. When you do, you can feel free to message me. Or feel free to block me. It's not really a problem to me either way. Your life will just continue to be worse until you learn to take accountability for yourself. I can't try to help you when you Refuse to accept that you have some toxic behaviors and are wrong at times, and just want to act like everyone else is wrong. I don't know how you convinced yourself that you're right and everybody else is wrong, but it's not true.

Even on here, you just called somebody a hypocrite because they are going through the same thing and are trying to help you. Do you realize how mean that is for absolutely no reason? How toxic that is? Especially since you've been acting incredibly hypocritical on this entire post. You aren't treating your friends correctly and refuse to take responsibility for it, but you expect them to take responsibility for the things they've done to you that you don't feel is fair. Why do you expect more of them then you expect of yourself?

What everybody has said on this post is true. Just from this post alone, I can tell that you do not treat other people well when they have a different opinion than you. You don't know how to respectfully disagree with somebody, or how to let them respectfully disagree with you. You ask for advice, and then take constructive criticism as a personal insult. You just want to be right all of the time, and not recognize when your own behavior is wrong. And even when you are willing to notice that your behavior is wrong, you take away from it by trying to point out that you think everybody else is way worse than you are. Which is the opposite of taking accountability for yourself. Which every adult needs to know how to do.

Like I said, when you're willing to work on yourself you can message me and I can try to help you. I don't care how many times you post on here, nobody on here will be able to help you so long as you refuse to take responsibility for yourself like an adult. Which so far, you haven't done. Though I assume you will block me after this message, because you don't seem to like people being upfront and honest with you. Either way, I won't be replying again on this post and will turn off notifications for it.

I would seriously suggest that you actually think about what I said rather than just getting triggered by it and trying to act like everyone else is the problem, since so far that is all you have done and you haven't taken any accountability for your own actions like an adult should. Because I don't even know you and have no reason to dislike you or want to say something to hurt you.

I'm not here for a debate, and like I said, I won't be looking at this post again. Even if you reply. But if you are genuinely willing to recognize some of your toxic Behavior, are willing to stop blaming everybody else for your own behavior, and genuinely want to improve yourself, you can message me. I have nothing to gain or lose either way- YOUR life is the one that's going to go downhill if you continue acting the way that you do. And if it does, that will also be as a result of your behavior, and nobody else's fault. Eventually, you're going to come to a place where you hit rock bottom and you're forced to confront yourself and your toxic behaviors even if you don't want to. I would highly suggest that you do it before there's nobody left in your life because you pushed them all away by not treating them right. Because your logic that you're right and everyone else is somehow all mutually wrong doesn't make any sense at all. You just made a post less than an hour ago asking why people don't want to talk to you. The answer is on this post. You've just blocked everybody who said it. That's proof to me that you don't actually care about the truth, you just want people to make you feel better by telling you that you're right even though you aren't. So again, if you ever come to this realization and are willing to work on improving your own behavior, you can message me and I'd be more than willing to help. Or block me for being honest. Either way works for me. It's your life on the line, not mine. But I can assure you that if you continue acting the way you do, eventually you won't have anybody left it all. Because nobody wants to be treated the way that you treat them.

Up to you if you want to block me, or if you are actually willing to self reflect and take advice without getting insulted and work on bettering yourself. In that case, you can message me, but I won't be looking at this post again. I can only assume that you'll treat me the way that you've treated everybody else who's come on to this post trying to help you.
Otherwise, have a nice day.

@CraftyMarieArts I assume that you've already been blocked, and I will be as well soon. But I just wanted to let you know that I agree with everything that you said, and that others said on this post. Accountability for your own actions is super important. And nothing will ever get better until she learns to be accountable. the same is true for all of us. We can't improve unless we are willing to recognize when we are in the wrong, and even though I don't know you I'm proud of you for being able to do that for yourself. It takes a lot of emotional maturity and self-reflection. And even though it wasn't well-received in this case, that's just because she doesn't want to be responsible for her own actions. Good on you for trying to help somebody else who's in the same situation as you. I hope that this negative experience doesn't stop you from doing that in the future. Its something that many would appreciate and be grateful for. As they should be.

@Abwiee YOU ARE SO MEAN????!!!!! How dare you?! How can you say it’s my own fault. Of course I don’t want to do lie to me but you’re being harsh and I don’t like that!!!! I have my family to back me up but they said they don’t wanna help me until I get my act right. My grandparents went off on me today BIG time. I ticked them off and it scared the CRAP OUTTA ME when they got stern and scolded me. They yelled at me and said harsh things that they won’t apologize for. They’re brutally honest and said they won’t talk to me until I get my act right.

@Abwiee Thank you so much. Also no she didn’t block me. If she chooses too, that’s fine. I couldn’t care less. Yes you are correct, we all need to take responsibility for our actions and how we say things to people. We all have things we have to work on. The problem is she does not want to take responsibility for it. If she wants people to help her, she needs to have a better attitude and admit what she did and stop twisting everyone’s words. Know what I mean?
