he differences between men and women–how we think and act–are obvious, and even humorous at times. But when a wife expects that her husband should completely understand her, seeing things through her lens and from her perspective, it s unreal expectations that are impossible for him to fulfill. I remember Susan saying to me when she was frustrated with me, “You just don’t get me!” I wanted to respond, “Oh yes I do.” But instead, I quickly thought about it and responded, “You’re right! I don’t think like you think or feel like you feel. So, please tell me how you’re feeling.” That then opened a further discussion that helped me to better understand how she was feeling. |
