A talk on emotional dynamics in relationships, arguing that men should validate a woman's feelings even when they seem incorrect, and practice reflective listening rather than trying to fix or dismiss what she says.
To remain quiet while she's expressing her points about me. Everything she just said may be wrong. She may have accused me of cheating. She may have accused me of all kind of things. But guess what? This is her truth in this moment. Let me shut the up. Let her say what she need to say when she's done. Reflective listening. The problem with us, because most of us was raised by women, we get a little bitchy. You see that? So when our queen get bitchy, if you want to get bitchy right back, that's not the behavior of a man. That's not masculine masculinity. Says she's in her pain. And because she's in her pain, I'm going to validate her, even if she's incorrect, because I don't ever want her to feel that I don't understand where she coming from.
