Everyone thinks trust is built through grand gestures.
Nah. It’s built in the tiny moments—like sending the text you said you’d send… or not scrolling TikTok while your partner explains why they’re cranky.
Gottman says trust grows in micro-interactions. Basically, the little things are the big things.
So if you want a healthier relationship, start with the basics: listen when they talk, show up when you say you will, and maybe don’t flirt with the barista “as a joke.”
Wild concept, I know.
