Comment on How to treat a man
TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoI’m not by my partner. Never have been, that’s why I love her, she’s always been kind.
But she also carries some distrust and resentment towards mean-justifiably given trauma-that is sometimes directed at me, inadvertently I think. Which sucks and doesn’t make me feel great, but it also makes sense from her perspective and she’s not got an issue with me

Sounds like she needs kindness. I have someone in my life like that. They’re working on it but it’s a long hard road.

She does, as does everyone. So it’s walking a balance of respecting her and her trauma and being supportive, while also standing up for myself when needed

Good. Sounds like you’re doing your best by her.
