Men and Women are different. Once you understand that, you have the key to a successful relationship. You cannot change the way men think, communicate or act by telling them what to do.
As you get older and life goes by, you will realize that doing for others will make you happy. Now, what I say is that you concentrate on making the other person happy, then you too will be happy and reap the rewards for your actions. Men learn how to respond to you in kind, by the actions you put forth to them.
Of course there will be days, when you want to just close the door on them, but remember they have the same feelings as well about us. Be patient and remember that men and women are different: different in how they handle situations and emotions and most of all in communicating. We tend to bring things up over and over again, where men see and hear things once and do not need to be reminded over and over. Once a solution is presented, it should NOT be constantly brought up over and over again.
Men need time to themselves to seek a solution, to mull over situation and to find a solution to those situations. Give them their space, do not think they are trying to avoid you. They handle their problems in a much different way than we do.
Men learn more from us, by our actions. To treat them as we wish to be treated. They will learn from your actions and how you treat them. They have feelings and need to be reassured as much as we do. Try it and see if it doesn't resolve some issues.
i don't remember writing this. LOL. Sometimes I think I need to review my own advise. Men are definitely hard to figure out and not sure why we put up with them ... I am thinking that I would have figured them out somewhere in the last 40+ years, but guess even I have some of the same problems to this day. Wonder if it all worth it at times. Probably not. LOL
