Advice for Men on Tears

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:05:57 +0000

I admit I am a little more emotional than your average woman. I tend to cry when I’m sad, angry, or happy. It’s my way of letting it out. Andy is NOT a fan of my crying and wishes every time I start that I would just stop. Sometimes he is the cause of my tears and he thinks he does nothing at all.

I am upset that he has been giving me no attention for the past three weeks. He has been so busy with work functions at night, doing work on the computer, etc. Finally I break down on Saturday night and I tell him that I need some more attention today because I am feeling like I am by myself all the time. He says “This is the way it is, if you don’t like it, too bad.” So I cry and cry some more because now I feel like he hates me. The story goes on and on and on. My point here is that Andy thinks he never does anything to make tears come down my face. He thinks its silly that I cry and refuses to talk to me when I do. Well of course, this just makes everything WORSE than it was when I started crying because now he is ignoring me.

Guys, do see how this is a never ending circle? If you just comfort a girl and give her a hug and kiss, you are much better off then ignoring her. I’ve told Andy this secret several times and he still doesn’t use it or believe me. I am not sure why. Men or women, help me out make Andy see all he has to do is just put in a little effort into this instead of saying, “I’m not dealing with this crying today. I just want to relax.”

Listen and Lecture

I thought Andy had it figured out that I really don’t want his opinion. You see, I had a bad day at work today and I asked him what he thought about my situation with a problem I had with a parent. Andy starts ranting and raving about how I could have handled the situation differently, blah, blah, blah. I am thinking to myself, wait a minute, what does Andy know about teaching twelve year olds? He starts comparing my parent problem with a complaint he once got at work. First, I will have to deal with this parent all year, not just a few phone calls and then it’s done for the rest of my life. Second, he should have just listened and nodded. Conversation over. We are both happy. Instead, he insists he knows “the answer.” For all you know-it-alls, when your “hunny bunny” has a bad day, just listen not lecture.

Champagne and Strawberries

admin — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:07:53 +0000

Okay ladies, help me help Andy understand why last night was not a success. Andy surprises me with a bottle of pretty expensive champagne, no Dom, but a decent bottle. He even runs out to the local grocery store and buys strawberries. As a woman I think to myself, man, he is really being a romantic tonight. We drink the entire bottle of champagne in about an hour and we are having a great conversation. Then his phone rings. Then all of a sudden two of his guy friends come over and open beers. They try to get Andy and I to go to the bar with them. It is around 10:30 and I drank half a bottle of champagne. They finally leave after an hour of trying to get us to go out with them. Andy was confused why I was a little pissed his friends showed up. He says, “I didn’t know you wanted a romantic evening at home with just us.” Come on now, what was the champagne and strawberries all about?? Truth be told we both passed out on the couch watching a rerun episode of Law and Order. Not much of a romantic evening. Andy still doesn’t get why I would be a little put off about his beer drinking buddies coming by.

Female Led Relationship Blog

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:49:51 +0000

Andy came up with the crazy idea that our relationship is run by the female. Ha! I wish this was some sort of female run relationship. I come home today and Andy tells me he is thinking about hunting. Hunting? It’s not like we live in the woods or something. Apparently Andy is half farmer and wants to hunt. I feel it takes a certain kind of person to sneak up on an animal and shot it in the head. Because I don’t support his hunting outing, Andy claims I am the leader. He says he won’t be hunting, but I have a feeling if you check back before the hunting season ends, whenever that maybe, he went hunting. S0 I guess I am starting a female lead relationship blog. Since I am such a leader.

This is definately a female led relatiohsip blog

Kimmy

It was such a beautiful day today that I decided to go on an extra long run. As I was nearing the end of my jog, I saw Andy speed by me. I frantically waved like a mad woman, and yet, he did not see me. I walked in the house, extremely exhausted, and Andy had a huge grin on his face. I asked him what was the smile about and his response is, “I know the neighbor’s wife name!”. After living next door to these people for over Two years, it was about time. “Kimmy” he said. I thought to myself, wait a second. What grown woman says her name is Kimmy. Andy then explained that her husband referred to her as “Kimmy”. I told Andy we should probably call her Kim, but he insists that it is Kimmy, not Kim. So, Andy has a new friend next door, Kimmy.

Welcome to My Life

Welcome to my life. I walk in the door from a grueling day in the classroom with my fiesty twelve year olds to find our house a disaster and someone coming over to look to repair our bathroom in fifteen minutes. After stashing Andy’s belongings in every corner of the house, he walks in with a grin on his face and says, “Hello Honey, oh, yeah, I forgot to pick up my stuff.” Then proceeds to give the lovely dog all the attention. Andy, …..you goonie!!

After three years of hearing Andy say that “no one thinks like I do” I am very excited to finally prove to him that many people think like I do. We decided that the only way to get advice and give advice would be through this blog. Related posts:Advice for Men on Tears Related posts:
