I read something and I didn’t understand it at first. It suggested to resolve relationship problems with unrelenting kindness and openness. Now, I’m starting to see the benefit of that advise. If someone is angry or you’re worrying about someone being angry it can put you on the defensive. It’s easy to worry, does this person think badly of me or will they be mean to me.

Women can be very open with their feedback and not necessarily think of it as critical. For one comment it might not be, but it all adds up like a thousand papercuts.
