@opallauryn: Replying to @Mariale there’s so much magic in the every day moments, I hope this was helpful for you! #breakup #separation #emotionalintimacy #HealingJourney #relationships
Omg you're right, when I would talk to my ex about a bad day at work he'd say "well then find another job" and when I would oppose that (because I just wanted to talk about it) he would get mad and say "well then what do you want me to say??" 🙄 exhausting

this! I just want to feel like my partner is interested in me and my mind/thoughts/emotions. The follow up questions mean a lot. When I start talking about something and they immediately change the subject, it’s like, wow, ok. Cool. So that’s how it is. ☹️

My partner thinks he shouldn’t have to ask questions and that I should just speak freely since that’s what he does. (I engage and ask questions) ):

As a mechanic all I do is fix. It is very hard to make the change and realize I don’t need to fix her mind and problems (all the time) I’m literally conditioned to fix lol but I am self aware I don’t need to. That change is pretty hard

I’m my partners first gf ever…. And I had to tell him when we were first dating, I don’t need your advice or a solution when I’m venting bout my day…I’m Virgo trust me I know what to do …I’m just frustrated and I need a hug. You don’t know what you don’t know but if even after communicating it they still don’t offer safety then yeaaaaa that’s not good

I like this take on it bc I never ask what part of your day brought you joy. I’m adding that, thank you. And also I am a problem solver I like to feel needed and like I fix things so I will try not offering solutions next time. Thank you!

A guy who I work with met his now wife and when he told me he’d met her I told him to always say “do you want to vent and me to listen and support or do you want solutions” because they want to try and fix our problems when sometimes we want to vent about it!

Sadly I’ve done this with my husband and he’s just like “i dont know. I can’t really remember why I laughed or what was good. And nothing is ever bad for me. I handle it how I’m supposed to and move on”

I told my partner before giving advice when Im venting to him to ask "do you want advice or for me to listen?" and that clarified ALOT for him.
He realized I already knew how to solve it, had a plan in place but needed the space to vent my emotions to avoid procrastination

We struggled really hard at first with this bc he’d overwhelm me with trying to fix/do everything for me. I also had to learn it’s okay for him to help as well tho 💗

all I got was, "OH, I'm sorry to hear that." that was it, no follow up questions or anything.

It’s all about emotional support. There is a lot of ways to support a person during a ordinary day or a difficult time, one way is having consideration and curiosity about their lives. You can be an awesome listener, yeah, but asking the right questions can make that person feel seen and heard. Communication it’s a great tool for every relationship ☺️

You are so right in the fact men are tough to fix. We are taught that we bring value in the things we can do. Personally in my relationship I find when my partner has came to me at times with a problem the way it was delivered felt like an attack, and it was my fault and that really blinds me to the fact the problem may not want to be fixed. Definitely something I’m working on.

They rush you by buying stuff (romance) and hurrying up on your “bad” emotions because that takes away from them consuming you being happy and just freely gave yourself away. You’re basically taking away from their pleasure time (consuming you). They are like just not like us. The feeling of feeling . Often times why they use substances and alcohol to numb it.
