Though I am not married, my girlfriend and I are moving in together in a scant month and I am now realizing that I really need to do what I can to sooth her nerves. She's already told me that she does not move well, that it affects her greatly, so I must do what I can to assuage the problems that I can staunch.<BR/><BR/>Once again, thank you.John Alan Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00667838167778227753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219874887932551072.post-6268094245513994322008-07-02T22:53:00.000+03:002008-07-02T22:53:00.000+03:00I do this too. I think one aspect of our male response of being uninterested is an attempt to show her how foolish her being upset is over something so silly. That if we act cool, then she'll calm down and realize that it's not a big deal. <BR/><BR/>The better response is to acknowledge her upset and find the right way to show that we care, whatever that is depending upon the situation and the couple involved.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14726949166373732451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219874887932551072.post-6645904273711741622008-07-01T14:57:00.000+03:002008-07-01T14:57:00.000+03:00Exactly. I make things important in my life that are important to my husband (whether or not it would be important to me otherwise), yet getting him to return that level of respect and care is a never ending battle.Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13783085707283000645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219874887932551072.post-44759492110378648702008-07-01T06:50:00.000+03:002008-07-01T06:50:00.000+03:00I can relate to this pretty well. My wife definitely likes to get things done early so she can rest. I tend to be more of a procrastinator. It definitely adds to the tension at times. Thanks for reminding us that we need to put ourselves in her frame of mind in order to help things along at times. :)Peter Schotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08234754312915202260noreply@blogger.com
