Quote: At one point I did start to gently encourage her to seek help because I really think she would benefit from at least talking to someone professional as well as some meds. Of course, she shut this down quickly. She just won't do it. I stopped pressuring her about this because she started to get upset and shut down on me. I think she just needed to talk and wanted to be able to do that without me "fixing" her or just saying she needed to take a pill. I realized that pretty quickly, said my peace and then went back to validating stronger than before. She seemed to be ok with that and continued talking.
You know what, to me that shows alot of growth, Us men, we want to "Fix" everything, that is who we are. But you quickly recognized it and changed up.. I bet 5 months ago, you would still be trying to fix instead of listening and validating...
I think what you just described is a real life example right out of the pages of Men Mars/ Women Venus.
