Husband was in a cranky mood today. He didn’t want to be alone, but also didn’t want to talk. I am a problem solver by nature, so this is the form of support I am least skilled at. I had to try, though, because that’s how marriage works. So I was just laying in bed, scrolling tumblr and feeling mildly guilty for not interacting with him even though this is what he specifically requested. I just kept reminding myself that the waves of frustration I could feel radiating off him were not directed at me. I reminded myself that I need to trust other people to let me know if they are angry at me. Eventually, the anxiety passed, and I became engrossed in my activity. An hour into things, he turned around to look at me and said, “I love being able to look back and see you smiling. I don’t know what you’re reading, but I know you’re enjoying it.”
Love is real. Love is real and I have it.

When a woman is consistently spoken to softly & treated gently, she becomes a new woman. You're helping her heal her nervous system, you're helping her heal generational trauma, you're allowing her feminine energy to flourish, you're helping her to remember who she is.

Something that was crucial to me being able to foster healthy relationships (platonic and romantic) was learning those around me aren’t mind readers.
Communicating honestly and effectively can allow people to be there for you. It can also allow you to work out conflicts in order to maintain long term relationships.
It might seem “wrong” to ask for your needs to be met. But it isn’t. In fact, usually our loved ones prefer us to be up front with our needs rather than hinting at them. (Hinting is exhausting for both parties and easily missed.)
Communicate your boundaries. “When you tease me about —-, it really upsets me. Please don’t do that anymore.”
Communicate what is working for you. “When you reach out to check in when I’m having a hard time, it really helps and makes me feel supported.”
Communicate what you need. “Things are really hard right now. I could use the company of a friend. Can I call you?”
A lack of communication can lead to relationships breaking. Resentment builds. Misunderstandings happen. Feelings get hurt.
If you don’t tell your loved ones what you need, then it’s unfair to us and them to be upset at them for not reading your mind.
You are allowed to have needs and wants. And you are allowed to express them.

Good to be a little wary of advice that sounds too much like a self pep talk.

Don't tell people your boundaries. Show them.
If you tell someone they can't talk to you a certain way or do certain things, those are not boundaries. Boundaries are things we show. If you tell someone "if you do that again I am not going to speak to you" and you stay and continue to speak to them, that's not a boundary. Just words. Words that they now know means absolutely nothing and they can take advantage of.
You show people how to treat you.
You reinforce your boundaries with your actions. Unless you show someone with your actions that what they are doing is not okay, and you do not continue to allow it, they will keep doing it.
