7 Supportive Phrases You Need to Learn If You Want to Be a Good Partner
Relationships aren't easy (said the most obvious person in the galaxy). The platonic, romantic, or sexual joining of two human beings is somewhere between a science and an art form, something for which no one, probably ever, could write a one-size-fits-all formula for success. People are different, people are complicated, and people are fragile, even when we don't seem like it. But just because relationships are unique in nature, doesn't mean that there aren't some general tips for relationship improvement that might be useful to you. It's sort of like the stuff in Cosmo: not every sex tip in there is going to work for everyone, but sometimes they're just nice to read and think about.
I'm admittedly no relationship expert, but I'm unintentionally hard to date so I've used and seen some statements that have de-escalated some tremendously difficult conversations and confrontations. And hopefully these phrases can be helpful to you as well.
