@thebeeingtony: Teach your partner this: "Say the hard thing gently and I can hear all of it. Say it harsh and I only hear the tone. Same truth. Two completely different landings." #Love
Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh word stirs up anger” God knows ball!

And understand that you are responsible for how you absorb information. Your partner may never be able to sing it enough for you if you are adamant to hear it defensively.

When you repeatedly say it gently, and nothing changes, and then it becomes about your tone. RUN!!!

I will say it calmly the first couple times. But if I'm repeating myself the tone is getting sharper.

My husband says he's running out of gentle ways to ask me to ," stop going to homegoods & Trader Joe's 3 times a week!" Lmao

With that said; what is gently and what is harsh is completely up to the reciever.

This but as a parent...my daughter will ask me can I ask you something without you being frustrated...and that cues me my tone of voice matters. we have had several talks about my face and tone (i have rbf and my tone can be harsh) its just a cue so I know she needs to have a more gentler conversation

But tone is based on how I feel. I’m angry and hurt but I’m expected to sound like a butterfly for the person who hurt me? STOP IT😭😭😭

I said this many times during hard conversations, but everytime he would hit me with ( what are you? a child ? you need me to be gentle and hold your hand ? if you cant handle honesty then go to therapy to figure out your daddy issues ) so I went to therapy and got a divorce 🤷🏽♀️

I agree totally but also the partner has to be open and receptive to listening.
