A man recently shared his distress over his wife giving her account number to a stranger and disappearing for 20 minutes after going out with his cousin. In response, someone made an insensitive comment: “Why is your cousin giving you all these details? 😮” This remark fails to address the real issue—the wife’s suspicious behavior—and shifts focus to the cousin’s actions. The man was informed by his cousin, not because of any wrongdoing, but to keep him in the loop. Such comments can be hurtful and dismissive, undermining genuine concerns. Instead of scrutinizing irrelevant details, we should address the emotional impact of the situation and offer supportive, constructive feedback.
