[quote=Anonymous]I think one huge mistake people make (and this isn't just about husbands) is an intolerance of the negative emotions of others. Being around someone else's negative emotions can be uncomfortable, especially if we care about them. So often people seek to do something to get those pesky emotions away. This maybe okay when you're talking about a parent distracting a toddler who is in distress because they have to leave the playground, but it's often a problem when someone dismisses negative emotions as invalid, useless, dramatic, etc. Emotions, positive and negative, have value and purpose. Honoring and being curious about someone else's emotions is part of being emotionally supportive. [/quote]
