You job is to listen to UNDERSTAND how she was FEELING. This is how women connect.


180- Stop being annoyed. Be happy she is sharing with you. Sit there an listen quietly and pay attention. Do not give any advise.

Throw in statements like these every so often:
"Sounds frustrating"
"I bet you were pissed"
"That would make me angry"



The annoyance was only internal, I didn't let her see it. I did continue listening and validating.
