Ep. 416: How Much Venting Is Too Much Venting?

We all need to vent about the shitty moments in our lives, but there’s a thin line between venting and complaining. Our partners are often our sounding boards to life’s frustrations, but what do you do when your partner says you’re too negative? How can you tell what the right amount of venting is, or the right time to do it? Your partner should be able to hold space for you, but they’re only human, too, and sometimes they just want to fix it, but don’t know how.
