Something feels off in this relationship/dynamic and I can't tell if I'm overreacting.
The situation:
- Who this is: [partner / friend / family member]
- Behaviours I've noticed: [LIST specific things that feel off]
- How I feel around them: [e.g. always apologising / walking on eggshells / questioning my own memory]
- What they say when I bring something up: [typical response]
Give me:
1. **An honest read on the dynamic** — what these patterns suggest
2. **Named behaviours** — are these gaslighting, love bombing, stonewalling, guilt-tripping?
3. **Questions to ask myself** to distinguish manipulation from miscommunication
4. **What a healthy version of this relationship would look like** compared to what I have
5. **What to do next** — depending on how serious this is
6. **Resources and next steps** if this is a pattern I need help with
