Do NOT Argue the Facts With Your Wife (here's why) - Dr. Robert Glover

His wife said he hadn't told her he loved her all day. He had screenshots proving he'd said it five times. He kept them to himself, and that was the whole lesson. Part three of our five-part week with Dr. Robert Glover, best-selling author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, and probably the most immediately useful one. Glover draws the line between a factual statement and an emotional statement, and makes the case that when your wife says something that seems provably unfair, the accusation was never the point. The trigger you feel is the signal.   FREE THIS WEEK: We built a companion field guide for the whole series.
