Y'all are precious! So really heartwarming to see you interact with each other as the loving couple you are.

Great video, A month ago, my five-year relationship came to an end. I really can't stop thinking about the love of my life, who made the decision to leave me. I've done everything in my power to win him back, but it's all in vain, and I can't imagine my life with anyone else. I genuinely miss him and just can't stop thinking about him, even though I've tried my hardest to stop thinking about him. I'm not sure why I'm saying this here.

It's hard to say goodbye to someone you love; I experienced this when my 12-year relationship ended. However, I couldn't just let him go; instead, I tried everything to win him back. Eventually, I turned to a spiritual counsellor for assistance, and he was able to help me win him back.

I want to give more positive reinforcement & encouragement to people when they do something well. But I'm a mom & I've worked with kids so I'm worried they'll feel patronized by my natural speech. 😅 It's not overly coddling, but still pretty kid oriented.

[@uuclmusic2711]

In my experience, the best way to defuse an issue like that is to just come out with it first. Say “I know I’m being patronizing, but I think you do a great job” or whatever positive reinforcement you want to say. You will invariably get a lot of thanks and affirming that you are NOT patronizing!

Gleaned /extrapolated from a book titled, How To Raise Children Who Think For Themselves by Elisa Medhus, M.D., help others foster their own self-esteem rather than making them seek approval coming from outside of themselves, even the parent or other influential adult. (I think it's possible to do, even with other adults because it's never too late to learn how to develop self-appreciation, with a lil help from our friends.) Help nurture that they be proud of themselves for exemplifying virtues -- being a good friend to themselves and others, taking the high road, etc.

I want a man who listens and looks at me like John Gottman looks at his wife.

Contemptuous jokes are the same as mocking. 😭 I'm sorry your mom wasn't nice, Julie.
