There's a term in psychology called help rejecting complainer, and it is exactly what it sounds like! This episode describes this type of communication style, why it is so irritating, how to handle it if your partner or parent acts this way, and what to do if (gasp) you yourself recognize that you are a help rejecting complainer! I also dispel the myth that it is terrible to try and problem solve when a partner is consistently unhappy. Please subscribe and thanks so much for listening, everyone!
