New study of couples over 2.5 years: when they talked about their daily hassles, although it didn’t necessarily improve their moods, it did strengthen their bond—both in the moment and over time. Sharing frustrations showed their partners weren’t just there for them; they were there *with* them. Source: “Ease of mind or ties that bind? Costs and benefits of disclosing daily hassles in partnerships” (Rauers & Riediger) Cartoon: @poorlydrawnlines And for the record, apparently I’m an outlier—I only ever want solutions 😆
