What are some ways to support your partner when they’re the victim of gossip?

Cupid’s Advice:

Rumors, gossip and drama happen all of the time, regardless of your age. Here are some ways to support your partner when gossip occurs:

1. Don’t blow it out of proportion: Do not make a big deal out of the circulating gossip that is currently surrounding your partner. The last thing they want you to do is to focus on what is being said.

2. Offer comfort: Make sure that your partner does not believe the gossip or feel at all responsible for it. Offer comfort and support to show them that you care about them and are there for them.

3. Move on: Don’t dwell on the gossip issue. The longer time you spend on drama, the worse your partner is going to feel. If you ignore gossip, it eventually blows over.
