Deep dives
Parental and Childish Behavior in Relationships
In relationships, one person may take on a parental role while the other assumes a childish role. The parental partner tends to be instructive, disciplinary, and critical, often overstepping boundaries and doing too much for their partner. The childish partner may cry, fall apart, or manipulate to get their way, feeling victimized and reliant on their partner. This dynamic creates a cycle of frustration and resentment. Both parties should strive for equality, valuing each other's autonomy and independence.
