Ways that you may be invalidating your partner
Hindustan TimesIn relationships, we often need to validate our partners and their needs. However, situations sometimes may not be in our favour – we may have our own problems going on and, in the process, we may end up making our partners feel bad, or not address their needs and expectations like they want us to. Ways that you may be invalidating your partner Sadaf further noted down five ways by which we may be invalidating our partner and their needs: Remaining neutral: Being silent or ignoring a person when they are undergoing pain and need soothing is a sign of invalidating their emotions. Everyone brings their own trauma from their years of growing up, and the way we speak to them may evoke trauma that we didn’t know about. Dismissive body language: When we use body languages or tones that are dismissive in nature, it makes our partners feel unwanted or that their pain is not important enough for our attention.
