Fuel
Are you involved with someone whose behaviour makes no sense to you? Does this person treat you with kindness one moment and spiteful hatred the next? Does this individual flirt with others despite being in a relationship with you? Is he or she boastful, arrogant and always fishing for compliments?
Does this person seem to revel in provoking other people, angering them or upsetting them, yet you cannot work out why this person acts in this way? The answers lie in this book. The driving force behind these strange and upsetting behaviours all comes down to fuel.
Read about what fuel is, how it makes that person feel, why they need it, how they get it and what your role is in supplying them with fuel. Learn all about fuel and you will question his or her behaviour no longer and you will be armed with information to do something about it and protect yourself and those you care about.
We talked about challenge fuel vs wounding. In the instance of “supposedly” his friends saying they dont like me (although I believe it was him planting seeds of doubt) and me being completely objective saying “hey listen, if you think it’s best to go separate ways so that you dont have a gf that your friends dont like, I would understand” you said that was challenge fuel. That there was fuel in that… where was the fuel at?
