See if that works. My husband (& I) repeated our point over & over, disregarding the other's point of view. Now I repeat just what he said and say "I understand" to shut him up. ( He does the same.) When you are validated, you can go on to find a solution--probably a compromise. Dear Puzzled, My take on that is to look at what is bugging you (stress), & doing it differently. See if that works.

What does this have to do with "optimizing stress"? So far this seems very nebulous. I’m confused. What does this have to do with “optimizing stress”? So far this seems very nebulous.
