If your partner is a critic, they will have a very obvious characteristic: whenever you say something or do something, they are the first to jump out and argue with you, pour cold water on you, and completely deny you. Even if what you say is correct, they will insist on arguing with you. This habit of being unreasonable towards people rather than things, and being addicted to rebutting, is actually very draining on you. So what is the nurturing part of your relationship? When you have an idea, the other person will listen patiently and help you analyze it rationally. If the idea is wrong, a simple smile is enough to resolve it. If the idea is right, the two of you will quickly agree and turn the plan into reality, which truly boosts your performance.
