How Happy Couples Give Constructive Criticism
Assume it was an accident
If I mess up, my boyfriend always approaches me with the assumption that it was a mistake, and that I had no idea how it affected him. And I do the same when he messes up. We don’t dive in, angrily, assuming the person made the mistake on purpose. I mean, we love each other so…we probably wouldn’t be with someone who we believed purposefully bothered us.
