show him this list, and say, this should be both of us.
When I read this list, I knew I was guilty. I have NEVER asked any man in my life those questions, and my relationships would have been a lot healthier if I had.
I think I just expected that the guy would always feel so lucky to have me, that I would never need to change, and that if anybody apologized for anything, it would be HIM apologizing to me (for anything). I never remember truly offering a genuine apology to a man, anda have never once say anything like “I’m going to make more of an effort to ____” What’s truly pathetic is that it never even occurred to me to say it – those sorts of statements are what men have to do, not me.
Well, I see now that I need to change too. Better late than never! 🙂
Where are the questions to ask your wife when it gets hard?? Why does the wife always have to start the conversation or say she is sorry??? In my 30 yr marriage, I always had to initiate any solving of anything, doesn’t the husband ever have responsibility in these matters??? It gets old always being the one to make things better. My marriage ended after 30 years, he was having an affair. It takes two for it to work, and when only one half is trying that doesn’t work, and resentment sets in.
