Absolutely sunrise...I agree that that advice goes both ways. Both partners should communicate honestly with each other in finances

One time my H came to me and said he had decided to buy a second house for investment purposes and had been working with a real estate agent for several months to locate an appropriate property.

At least your husband was purchasing for good. My ex-husband was stashing money away to by comptuer hardware accessories while the kids and I were going to the food bank for food. When I asked him about money I heard him say he had put away to by a comptuer part, I asked him if we could use some of that money to buy food. He gave me $50 whole dollars to by flour, butter, yeast, eggs and milk so I could bake bread.

when a woman is not feeling like herself and is unable to do the things she normally does, do not say, "While you were gone i did not eat, I couldn't sleep because you were not here, and I was so worried about you I didn't go to work" but then i find out that the day you didn't go to work you spent with your friend. This hurts.I guess what I am saying is DON'T LIE!!!!!! The truth is much better. If you say, I didn't go to work because i am exhausted so I spent time with my friend so I wouldn't sit all day worrying about how you were doing, this is soooooo much better. COMMUNICATE (I KNOW SOMEONE ALREADY SAID THIS ONE, BUT IT IS SO TRUE)

Don't yell at us about little things that are not all that important Just say to yourself it is not important, and get over it.

I am hoping someone can help me, or at least understand me. |

Hope no one said these!
Don't just come to us looking for sexual gratification! Be there when we need it too. Don't run away because of an imperfection? If you know a woman who suppresses a lot,and they hint at something being wrong, ask. Or better yet, let us know you'll be there for support. Respect us for more than our bodies. We have brains,you know. |

We LOVE small acts of kindness.... when you hold open a door for an old lady, for example.
Theres times we dont want to communicate at all, and want to just take in the moment, with or without you. They dont mean we love you less. |

If we ask for your opinion about an outfit or our appearance, we truly want your opinion. It is not meant to torture you or to hear false compliments. We can usually tell when you are complimenting us to get sex or to get freedom to watch the game.

<font color="green">Women are not merely objects to be visually evaluated and approved or disapproved of by you. (I had a boyfriend way back when who voiced his opinion on every woman he saw. Watching television it was always either "mmm, mmm, mmm," or "get off the screen, you ugly broad." The only function women had in life was to bring him pleasure, and if he wasn't pleased, the woman was worthless.)
There is no such thing as "what women want." We are individuals, not a category. Just because your ex preferred something a certain way doesn't mean every woman does. I, for one, would rather be told the truth if my butt looks big in this skirt, so I can change the skirt if need be. That's just another form of what someone else already mentioned, saying what you think I want to hear, rather than what you really think. Oh, how I HATE that! Surprise! Women have feelings and need to cry sometimes. It doesn't automatically mean she has a female problem, or just wants you to feel like a shmuck. She hurts. And, I've seen a fair number of men use tears to manipulate a woman as well. Not all men, of course, but there are times when a man's tears are meant to say, "You know, unlike you women, when we men cry there's a reason for it, so you should feel extra bad for reducing me to this." Don't try the "I'm incompetent at household chores" trick. Yeah, yeah: mess up the laundry or the shopping or the cooking, and next time she'll just do it herself rather than asking you again. We're onto that stunt. It's the oldest in the book.</font> |

Oooh, oooh, I've got one!
Oh, yes we DO have a sense of humor. It's just that we don't find it funny to be the butt of your jokes all the time (or hear jokes about our butt, for that matter.) |
