Exhausted Men – Combative Women

Posted on

August 17, 2017

Three of my colleagues are on vacation. I also have an extra project that I’m working on… I have some family overseas issues which are occupying my mind in searching for solutions. Relatively, there are some emotional pressure due to the surrounding political events… Have I mentioned the extra financial obligations as the start of school year is just around the corner?

I reach home exhausted with no power for extra demands or arguing. However, staying silent or quitting arguments drives you crazy, ladies, doesn’t it!

I’d totally appreciate your help answering this for me:
What women want?

To be understood without having to speak! A responsible and caring man, a provider, giving with all his heart, his love, his encouragement, even if sounds crazy! A pat on the back for preparing super and doing laundry? Show some appreciation, especially if you don’t do none of the chores! Take out the garbage , put the seat down, clean the sink after you finished grooming, clean the bath once in a while, and help with the dishes would be appreciated! Take me out, show me off, and always say I Love You!
If men can do all these things …. as the saying goes… happy wife! Happy life!

I read once that there is a book out there (dont know how to get it) called something along the lines of “Everything Men Know About Women” and all 100 pages of the book are completely blank

No matter how much exhausted you are in office, women at home as homemakers are also exhausted.. In fact if you work 9-6. They work let’s say 6am- until your family sleeps. Plus you are getting paid for your work. But ladies at home aren’t. So maybe they sometimes demand extra attention, which is perfectly normal. You may plan something for her in the weekend or maybe order some gifts for her whatever suits you or whatever she likes.

The thing is amidst your office works, women feel neglected sometimes. You get to interact with your other colleagues as well. But she gets to stay at home. You are the only one she can count on. So make sure you answer her calmly with a smile. Not answering at all is not a good way to go.. Happy life 🙂

  You’ve already told me much “Just smile” 😉 It’s the key. Thank you, Sherron.

It only took me 25 years to figure this much out. The Bible tells us that God created woman to be a helpmate for the man. Thousands of years later, Jesus put a new spin on it that makes perfect sense and that’s husbands love their wives, like Christ loves the church. Countless times we see Jesus being a servant (the Son of God being a servant. What a concept), washing feet and serving meals.

A woman wants a helpmate too. Someone to give them a break, or simply to have their back. They’re not asking us to fix the problems (which as men is our first instinct), they want someone to just listen, and help them out a little.

So if a woman is a helpmate to a man, the same can be said for the man. He needs to be helpmate for her.

And if that isn’t enough, my wife says there’s nothing sexier than a man doing housework.

  Wow, William, 25 years?! I could learn a lot here especially about that fixing the problem shouldn’t be the goal itself! I also liked reading about the religious prospective… Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience

Women want honesty & understanding. Inclusion in decision making & respect for their opinions. It’s a partnership, a balance! One makes up for the other’s shortcomings. Silence is golden at times. Talking too much can be overwhelming! Women need to know that too! Good thoughts for peaceful days! 🎶 Christine

  Thank you very much. Love is very important. However, it can’t be at the same level all time. Maybe, pretending while it’s in low level could help…

    When we smile, our body can’t help but to respond.accordingly.
    When we frown, our body can’t help but to respond accordingly.
    .
    This may sound ‘selfish’, but it is actually very healthy — in today’s changing times, it is so very important to look within ourselves and discover what truly makes us happy and then to act on it.
    The heart is intended to guide us in life, not the brain.
    At least, that is what I believe.

    I totally agree Ren… Smiling does a lot and heart is the leader in most of our life. Often, the heart leads to the right direction

    Yes, the heart does lead us in the right direction.
    .
    Even science has shown that the heart is a second brain, which is much more functional / powerful than the one in our head.
    And when we learn to listen to our heart and trust in ourselves, knowing that we do know the right answers…. mountains begin to move. 😀

    Lol…actually, if you don’t feel love for someone, it’s best to be honest. Pretending is exhausting. Love is not like lust or infatuation. Real love is very intensely felt one day, and then for a few days it’s not intense like lust, it’s like a gentle continuous flowing stream. It hits the rapids, and wow, it’s a ride, then it evens out again, calm, quiet, but you can never pretend a stream isn’t flowing. Or the stream was in your imagination, never real in the first place. (Ok written a blog for a reply. Oops sorry) 😂

    Wow, I love how you expressed this… Very important point. Thank you very much.
    Marriage should be built on many criteria; love or mutual emotion is one of them. With time passes, love won’t be as strong as it was at the beginning. Hence, the other criteria play a good rule in keeping up the marriage – such as mutual interests and habits… Assuming that other criteria are available in addition to some other circumstances (such as political situations, kids, …), I think pretending won’t be that difficult – at least occasionally. Otherwise, I totally agree, pretending is very exhausting…
