Another way you break their trust, and I know this one is really hard, and I'm

certainly guilty of this, is when you try to fix. So when they come to you and they
say, Idon't know, I'm feeling really distant and disconnected from you. I feel like
at night when you could be spending time with me, you play video games instead,
something like that. Like anytime a problem is brought up in the relationship and
you say something like, okay, I'll stop playing right now, and you go play with
them. Like that's a really good thing, right? You've done something to help your
relationship, and you should do that. But first, what we're looking for is for
someone to say,

that must make you feel really sad. That must make you feel really lonely. I'm
really sorry for the part I played in that. I'm gonna put this down. Soin the
fixing, the fixing is a good thing. I'm not saying never fix. But the thing is,
isthat when you miss the opportunities for emotional connection, when you go
straight into fixing, that can be really hurtful. If you'd like some applicable,
