People who are quick to support you against your partner without proper investigation will eventually play a big part in bringing your home down. It would be too late by then.

A person who truly cares about you will care about your family and home first, a home whose welfare covers your welfare that is.

Yes, partners can be wrong. Yes, they can be wrong more than once, but regardless, someone who has your true interest at heart will always address your issues starting with a position that is pro good home (emphasis on good) before being pro you.

It doesn't matter if it is family or friends. A mediator should address an issue in a way that involves telling you the truth even when you are wrong, difficult to tell, with your partner present or even with your partner absent.

Many of us keep issues to ourselves for obvious reasons but for those rare occasions when the issue needs a mediator, look out for this.
