What women say and what they intend it to mean.
Verses something entirely different...
What men hear when women say something.
A practical example...
A practical example...
It's around 6 PM. My wife asked me if I could please go outside and get her purse out... she didn't want it be in the car all night.
What she heard in her mind was... she wants me to go get it now.
What I heard... she wants might to get her purse, but the time frame to accomplish this was left up to my discretion. She didn't want the purse to be out in the car all night long... Therefore... I needed to get it sometime before I go to bed... 11pm or so. Now I am a reasonable person but technically I could have got it at like 4:00 in the morning and it wouldn't have been out there all night long. But by 11pm sounded good to me.
My wife... 3 minutes later at 6:03... I'm sensing a slight attitude. This continues and increases in intensity until reaching its maxium at 6:05.
I ask... are you okay. Which is clearly a redundant question since something is definitely wrong.
She says... I guess I'll have to get someone else to get my purse.
Now... I'm lost... I agreed to get it, as per her terms for the time frame.
So I guess you see the problem. What she means and what I interpret from exactly what she said is clearly entirely different.
Again ... Not my fault.
And yes... I am sometimes a very literal person. Okay, most times.
So not only there inlies some of the issue but her not asking property... well, you see the problem.
Men and women, separated by a common language, having different interpretations of the spoken word.
Knowing what the issues are, the solution seems easy.
But Understanding... Yields little positive results.
Practical verses probably... alas, nothing is going to change.
