Are you guilty of telling your man not to stay up too late? Do you go to his house and tidy up when he is at work or in the shower? Do you remind him to finish his dinner or he will get sick? Do you criticize how long he spends on his x-box? Do you remind him when he is out with his friends that its not a good idea to drink so much?
Sexy to be so caring and concerned right? Wrong. It works the opposite way. Let him be. It's very easy for a woman to unknowingly and unintentionally to hurt and offend the man she loves most.
Need an example? Friends of mine, lets call them Andrew and Helen were going to a party. Andrew was driving. After about twenty minutes of going around the same block a few times, it was clear to Helen that Andrew was lost. She finally suggested that he call for help.Andrew became very silent. They eventually arrived at the party, but the tension from that moment persisted the whole evening Helen had no idea of why he was so upset.
From her side she was saying "I love and care about you, so I am offering you this help."From his side, he was offended. What he heard was "I don't trust you to get us there. You are incompetent!"
I suggest you use your natural mothering instinct to instead worry about yourself first and then the state of the economy, climate change, the orphans in Cambodia and whether or not that baby on Packed to the Rafters is going to grow up dysfunctional having such older parents and weird siblings.
If he wants your advice, I guarantee he will seriously ask
