Ok, so I’ve seen this quite a lot with a few people I know, so thought I would pose the question on here and see what others think.
Quite often we portray ourselves in a very positive light in front of others. We are kind, polite, and generally rather sociable.
As ‘they’ say we often treat those closest to us the worst. For example you’re having an off day so you end up taking it out on your wife/husband/other half. Or you need to vent some frustration so end up shouting in front of them etc…
However this person may be the one you love the most in the world. Why is it then that some people will treat a complete stranger with the utmost respect and dignity but will can be so harsh and cruel to their significant other?
One could argue that they see you in all your glory - good times and bad times, so for those reasons you are able to be free around them and behave in the way that comes naturally to you.
