In official psychology, a term such as an “energy vampire” does not exist. However, everyone and everyone is familiar with him, because he is an integral part of our harsh reality. This "flaw" may be inherent in our parents, friends, family, employees or boss. But what if the husband is an energy vampire? After all, this is the closest person with whom you live your whole life ...
Small introduction
The phrase "husband is an energy vampire" in itself sounds extremely ominous. By this term we are used to call people who live somewhere far away, and even if they touch us, then indirectly, and we will never come into contact with them. But for many women, alas, after several years (or months) of marriage, such a cruel truth is revealed. They begin to understand this after the family ceases to "get along". The woman feels inside that something is wrong here, she is not completely happy (even if there is money, success, love, etc.), she constantly wants to change something.
But what if the native man is faithful, cares, loves and makes gifts? After all, this is the very same family happiness. If such an inexplicable desire and thirst for a change for the better arises, be sure that there are two answers to this question. First, you do not love your spouse. This is a completely different topic. The second is your husband, an energy vampire. Let's take a closer look at just the second aspect.
Your feelings
First of all, you should pay attention to yourself. From the point of view of your (not your personal, but acceptable for your family) worldview, are you behaving ideally? Are you faithful, love and care enough for your soulmate? This is important, because perhaps you personally make mistakes in the relationship, not noticing that the spouse reacts negatively, and as a result, you are offended and are constantly in decline.
We draw attention to the fact that such an analysis does not have any clear evaluation criteria, since everyone has a completely different idea of ​​an “ideal family”. If there is nothing shameful in your behavior, then we switch to it. Everything seems to be going well, even perfectly, but suddenly a quarrel may arise out of the blue. This happens once a week, maybe more often, and after the scandal you feel exhausted, exhausted. But such sensations may arise in you because of his constant “whining”, complaints and insults, and sometimes even from his seemingly simple actions. This is a sure sign that your husband is an energy vampire. The signs by which this can be accurately determined are very clear and simple, so let's now consider them.
Vampire stats
These include:
- Spouse constantly evokes negative emotions in you. He makes you angry, jealous, cry, torment. He knows what exactly causes such a reaction in you and intentionally creates all the conditions for it to manifest itself.
- Your husband just loves to ride in crowded vehicles and also loves other crowds of a large number of people. The flip side of this quality is that he regularly sits on forums and trolls everyone on the Internet, that is, he is a hater.
- He constantly complains about everything. Work is horror, the boss is a tyrant, parents love little, friends are more successful and better, etc. He does not miss the opportunity to omit you in this way.
- It seems that he feels that you need to call just when you have made time for yourself to read, go to a beauty salon, and go for a walk with friends. And all because at the moment you are not with him and are not thinking about him.
- The energy vampire husband fulfills his promises for a very long time, keeping you in suspense and constantly provoking indignation on this score.
- Such people do not get along with cats, often equipment breaks quickly in their hands.
- Extremely unpleasant everyday moments, such as tapping a slipper on the floor or table leg, “spitting” with saliva, and also addiction to bloody films, especially at the most inopportune moment for you, are a sure sign of vampirism.
- The following factor follows from the previous one - husbands-energy vampires constantly monitor criminal reports, and then they describe and retell everyone in paints to you.
- The last signs of vampirism are jealousy, vindictiveness, revenge and selfishness.
What is the catch?
After reading this list, you probably ask: "Why would such a terrible person just take and not leave?" It is not that simple. Energy vampires do not always attack, and this is what they keep their victims in. The key to a relationship (any) is love, and when you marry a vampire, you must have loved him, and he loves you. At the very beginning of the relationship, such “attacks” look like a bad mood, setbacks at work, mild autumn depression, etc. You forgive and forget, but soon everything repeats more and more often. But still, the moments of attacks alternate with something good, and you don’t want to leave your beloved person with whom you are happy, although sometimes alive. That is why most women simply get used to this development of events and do not look for an answer to the question of how to live with an energy-vampire husband, because they do not consider him to be such.
Sorry, I accidentally
Energy vampirism is a phenomenon more than common in the modern world. We can say that these "parasites" are a large part of the world's population, regardless of gender and age, but there is one BUT. Basically, people simply do not understand that with their behavior they literally empty the entire energy supply of their loved ones. That is, they are energy vampires, but they do not realize this. All their actions, no matter how terrible and annoying they are, are performed on a subconscious level (like a cat hunting a mouse - instinctively). Deep inside themselves, they feel energy hunger and begin to provoke you, cause scandal or tears. After you quarrel and go into different rooms, such an energy vampire will start asking himself: "Why did I do this or say that?" It is this type of husbands, despite its danger, that lends itself to "re-education." They sincerely love their wives and cause them such inconvenience completely unconsciously.
How to make a difference?
It is in those cases when energy is pumped out unconsciously that there is hope for a brighter future. First of all, it’s worthwhile to understand how to confront the energy-vampire husband who “poisones” you unintentionally, and after you learn to neutralize his attacks, his behavior will gradually change for the better.
What to do:
- Analysis of the vampire's action pattern. Most often, unconscious "bloodsuckers" act on the same tactics. This can be groundless scandals, regular nagging, minor annoying actions, etc.
- Do not respond to provocation. If he tries to start a quarrel, leave, if he starts to complain - do not pay attention. Imagine that he communicates with friends at this moment, and you don’t even want to delve into the conversation about basketball and other men's hobbies. You will not be angry, do not “give” your energy to him, he will understand that such actions have become meaningless.
- In order to personally remain strong and be able to withstand attacks, it is worth finding "batteries". Each has their own - interesting books and films, drawing, playing musical instruments, swimming and other sports ...
- Try to eat right and regularly. Under stress, we can break down and overeat (or, conversely, starve), which causes not only emotional, but also physical exhaustion.
- Well, the last thing you should do after all of the above is a frank conversation. After all, it is important for your unconscious husband-energy vampire, just like you, to save your marriage, he also loves you and hurts you unintentionally. Point out to him that it hurts you from such and such his actions and ask him not to do so from now on.
The fate of those who did not cope with the task
For one reason or another, some women cannot fully understand how to protect themselves from an energy vampire husband, do not cope with the recommendations of psychologists and remain in captivity. In such situations, even a sincerely loving spouse who “parasitizes” unknowingly turns into a monster. Just the excess amount of his wife’s energy nourishes him more than necessary, and he takes on the features of a tyrant. Such men are often afraid, they allow themselves a lot and do not understand that there is a certain framework of decency and respect.
Scandal - let it be public, humiliation - it will be powerful and cruel. In the "paws" of such a spouse, a woman ceases to be herself. She no longer has a craving for creativity, no hobbies and hobbies, no friends. Even meetings with relatives are very painful, as they are the focus of attention, not the husband. Often in such families, a man does not give a woman the opportunity to grow in a career plan, to develop something new, does not even allow to obtain a driver’s license.
Conscious vampirism
For the olden days, the phenomenon of an energy vampire husband was extremely popular. How to defend and cope with such an onslaught, no one knew and did not even want to know. And all because a woman, in fact, was not equated with a "man." Remember, before the beginning of the twentieth century, men ruled the world. The habitual phenomenon was the humiliation of a wife, not taking into account her desires, not paying attention to her, etc. In a modern, we can say, feminist society, this has long become obsolete, but some girls who are weak in emotional terms fall on the hook of such "medieval tyrants." The latter, in turn, are aware of their superiority and the fact that they need to constantly be energized by their neighbors, therefore they commit all their negative actions intentionally. The only thing a victim can do is get away from such a “patron” as soon as possible.
Do not rush to draw conclusions
Having recognized in your man at least one of the above factors, you can think about whether he is an energy vampire. But there is no need to groundlessly blame a person for such a "sin" if he stumbled or broke once. Remember that the "bloodsuckers" commit their "atrocities" with enviable regularity, and after that complete devastation reigns in your soul. If a husband once came home from work without any mood and spoke to his boss or you had a fight over something, this does not mean that he decided to be saturated with your energy. There is no perfect relationship, people are often in a bad mood, and the reason for this can be many external factors. Therefore, first of all - analysis, and only then we make a diagnosis.
Conclusion
We figured out what qualities a husband-energy vampire may possess, signs. How to protect yourself from the influence of such a person is an individual matter, but generalized tips will help you find the right way to solve the problem. It’s not worth hacking and getting divorced, but you can’t tolerate it either. Such problems can be solved, but only if both sides want it.
