My s/o doesn’t accept advice from ME but will accept the same advice from anyone else. Why?
My s/o absolutely hates when I’m right and very rarely will admit it. I am wrong at times and will admit I am wrong when it’s deemed necessary.
Whenever I give him advice on something, he hates it and goes into a rage.
One time I gave him advice and he didn’t like it but a couple days later, his grandparent gave him the exact same advice and he took it and even admitted how right they were.
This is an ongoing thing. A homeless man can run up to him and tell him something I told him and he will accept the advice wholeheartedly but if I do it, it’s wrong, it’s an issue, I’m the problem etc.
Why is this? On a psychological level, why is it when a partner gives them constructive criticism, advice etc. it’s absolutely out the window?
