u need to be told ur good

If someone gives you validation, does that mean that you need to validate them, as well?

It means that I don't want to have to pay for the parking....

So, it's like giving a compliment?

...or, like when you are in a relationship with a person who loves and respects you and you risk to express your feelings about something and your partner says "yes, honey I can see how you feel that way..." that is a form of validation. Validation doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with a position, just "validating" that the feelings the person is feeling are real to them.

You hit it right on the head.

I actually did not know that, sylph...thanks

It means you grab them and hug them and kiss them passionately.. oh wait that's something else

Thanks as well, DD...
This is very important. I remember telling my wife on several occasions that she was verbally abusing me. She refused to accept this fact and for the life of me, I couldn't understand how she could tell me that what I felt was not the truth. I mean, if I feel like I'm being verbally and emotionally abused, then I AM being verbally and emotionally abused, right?

She invalidated you my friend or she validated her anger. Either way, it is not a healthy reality.

I validate you because you are a good man.

yes rman, you are right.

It's what scumbag's do for vulnerable woman so they can put their tiny penis in their vagina.

okey dokey then...
