When your partner is upset with you, avoid trying to convince them not to be upset. They are allowed to feel how they feel. The sooner you stop telling them to not feel the way they do, the sooner your partner will begin working through the problem. An immediate shift from upset emotions regarding something hurtful you’ve said or done to being over it does neither you nor the relationship any favors. Those emotions will come back later, so it’s better to process them now.
