I was really paying attention to her mood and I realize that it really swings dramatically from my venting

there isn't much of a way around it other than me Acknowledging and validating her feelings when this occurs. This I need to work on.




sorry No

you see you can't be responsible for all her feelings and I am glad that you both had a discussion about it

what needs to happen is for her to realise you are venting to her as she is safe
you are in business together and she is the most logical person for you to vent about business stuff to
other wise you would get into a bad business practice of doing it with another 'customer' and risk it getting back to the first person

what she needs to do is not get sucked into your venting emotion and realise it is your emotion not hers and when you have finished smile and say - feel better

so sorry to disagree but you cannot be watching your emotions and hers in this type of situation
she needs to learn that it is not hers and to dare I say it 'detach' from what you are saying

thanks for pointing out to me that I should let go of my 'rescuer' mindset in relation to h

need to keep the focus on me - and what is good for me in the long run

do you realise that you have what many people on here would kill for
'great communication'

you really do deserve a big pat on the back
pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat
