The next time your partner, friend, etc. shares something that is frustrating them, make your job easy and just hold that space with an, "I hear you. I understand." and watch them feel loved!

GASLIGHTING IS A THING. It is a huge relationship DESTROYER. If you do this: STOP. If you are on the end of this: SET A BOUNDARY. Or Leave.
