It's just that, the validation I've been giving her is pissing her off! When I say 'I can understand how you would feel that way', she would respond with "you have no idea how I can feel this way"! She says that my responses are "nauseating and disgusting"! They are rather different from what the old me would have said! I'm kinda up a stump with this?


I used phrase that too much as well. So learn to say it differently.
"I can understand how me doing ___________ would make you feel that way."
"Then help me understand how you feel because I truly want to know."
Find your own words, make sure you are looking in her eyes when she talks and sometimes don't worry about a response just listen. Don't try to fix anything. You can handle it.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
