You've Been There; All Seems Well And Suddenly You're Getting The
Silent Treatment, And You Don't Know Why. One Of The Most Confusing
Things For Men In A Relationships Is That Men Are People Of Action.
They Typically Like To Think Their Actions Speak For Themselves. But
Women Highly Analytical, And Rarely Do They Take What Men Do At Face
Value. That's Why There Are Countless Seemingly Small Things-That Men
Think Have No Significance-That Can Set A Woman Off. Like These:
#1• A DIRTY DISH:
It's Just One Dish. It's A Blip In The Midst Of Your Otherwise Clean
Kitchen. But, She's Asked You Twice Now To Clean It, And It's Still
There. And Now Doors Are Slamming And You're Certainly Not Getting
Laid Tonight•
YOU DON'T TRY TO MAKE HER LIFE EASIER:
It's Not About That Dish, Or The Trash That Needs To Be Taken Out, Or
The Rug That Needs To Be Vacuumed. It's About The Fact That Women
Constantly Go Out Of Their Way To Think Of Little Things To Make Their
Man's Life Easier. It's Second Nature For Them To Keep An Eye Out For
Things That Would Take A Load Off Their Men And Make Them Happy. The
Fact That One Dish Has Been Sitting There For A Whole Week, Says To
Them That You Have To Be Reminded To Do Something That Would Make Life
Easier For Her, And That It's Not Just Second Nature For You As It Is
For Them•
#2• CRITICIZING WHERE YOU ARE:
You Call Her From A Restaurant And She Talks About How Gross That
Restaurant Is, You Call From A Sports Game And She Complains About All
The Noise In The Background. No Matter What You Are Doing, She Has A
Criticism About It. And She Seems To Be Judging You For Deciding To Be
At That Place•
IT'S JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT WITH HER:
Typically, When A Woman Begins Criticizing Any Place You Go Without
Her, It's Because She Feels You Don't Take Her Out Enough. If A Woman
Feels She Isn't Treated To A Good Date Often Enough, She Begins To
Resent Any Place You Go Without Her. Just A Few Thoughtful, Planned
Out Evenings A Month With Your Woman Could Make Her Perfectly
Complacent About Everywhere Else You GO•
#3• YOU GIVE HER ADVICE:
Your Girlfriend Comes Home Unhappy With The Way A Job Interview Went,
Or A Presentation At Work. You Give Her Solid, Thought-Out Advice That
You Know Would Help Her Next Time. She Proceeds To Either Argue With
You About Why Your Advice Wouldn't Work, Or Even Worse Point Out A Way
That You Failed In A Similar Manner•
SHE WANTS TO PROVE HERSELF:
No Woman Will Admit This (And I Might Get A Figurative Slap On The
Wrist For Saying It) But, When In A Relationship, Many Women Become
Insecure About Their Careers, Often Comparing Them To The Careers Of
Their Boyfriend. Perhaps Its Decades Of Fighting For Women's Rights In
The Workplace Deeply Ingrained In Them, But Many Women Feel The Need
To Prove To Their Partner That They Are Respectable Professionals Who
Know What They Are Doing, Just As Much As Any Mam Does. And When You
Advise A Woman On Something Regarding Her Career, That Little
Insecurity Kicks In And She Thinks You Don't Find Her Competent•
#4• YOU DRINK TOO MUCH:
You're Not Doing Anything Wrong, You Haven't Gotten Into A Bar Fight,
Or Been Kicked Out Of The Club For Being Rowdy, Or Been Arrested For
Indecent Exposure. You're Perfectly Harmless, But You're Drunk, And
She Doesn't Like It. She Nags At You, Disgusted By Every Move You Make
While Drunk. And You Haven't Done A Thing To Offend Or Upset Her•
SHE WANTS TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR FUN:
The Issue Behind This Is Similar To The One Behind A Woman Criticizing
Every Place You Go Without Her; She Feels Left Out. One Of The Times A
Person Is Having The Most Fun And Completely Letting Loose Is While
Drinking. If You Often Leave Your Girlfriend At Home So You Can Have
Boys Nights, Or Go Away On Guy's Weekends Without Inviting Her, She'll
Start To Believe You Take Her For Granted And You Only Want Her There
To Comfort You Throughout The Challenging And Often Monotonous Flow Of
"Real Life." She'll Think You Don't Find Her Enough Fun To Have Along
For The Fun Times. And Seeing You Completely Relaxed And Having
Fun-While Drunk-Will Bring Up All Those Insecurities•
#5• YOU CAN'T READ HER MIND:
This Is A Constant Question On The Minds Of Men: "Why Does She Think I
Should Be Able To Read Her Mind?" Your Girlfriend Is Mad At You For
Something, And Then She Is Even More Upset Because You Can't Guess
What That Something Is. And You Think It's Unreasonable That She
Expects You To Be A Mind Reader•
SHE WANTS TO FEEL IN SYNC:
Remember When You First Started Dating? Each Time You Picked Up Your
Phone To Text Her "I Miss You," She'd Already Texted You That Same
Thing. When You Called Her To Invite Her To A Movie, She Answered The
Phone By Inviting You To That Same One. You Were Always On The Same
Page. And It Made You Feel So Right For Each Other. As Relationships
Go On And The Hyper-Excitement About A New Person Dies Down, You Start
Thinking More About The Other Parts Of Your Life And You're Not As In
Sync As You Used To Be. Deep Down, Women Miss That Time Period. And
When You Can't Read Their Minds, It Makes Them Feel That You're Not As
Close As You Used To BE•
#6• SHE CRITICIZES YOUR JOB:
So Your Girlfriend Criticizes Your Job. She Criticizes The Goal Of The
Company, Or The Inteligence Of The Staff, Or The Morals Of Your Boss.
She Is Openly Against Your Job, And You Can't Understand How She
Thinks That Is Appropriate•
SHE THINKS YOU ARE NOT FULFILLING YOUR POTENTIAL:
Every Woman Communicates Differently. While Some Will Be Open With You
And Tell You They Don't Think You Are Fulfilling Your Potential,
Others Will Hope You Come To That Realization On Your Own, And They
Use The Strange And Admittedly Rude Method Of Berating Your Current
JOB•
#7• SHE GETS UPSET OVER A FRIEND'S JOKE:
One Of Your Friends Teases Your Girlfriend In A Small Way And Suddenly
You're Being Pulled Aside To "Have A Talk." If Not That, Your
Girlfriend Is Full On Verbally Assaulting That Friend Now•
SHE THINKS YOU'VE FORGOTTEN WHY YOU LIKE HER:
All A Woman Cares About Is What You Think About Her, Not What Your
Friends Think. If A Woman Feels Confident That You Are Conscious Of
All The Things That Are Grateful For Her, A Little Comment From One Of
Your Friends Won't Set Her Off. But, If You've Failed To Compliment
Her In A While, Or Just Let Her Know How Much She Means To You, She'll
Feel That That Disrespect From Your Friend Is A Direct Result Of Your
Disrespect For Her. A Woman Knows That Usually A Boyfriend's Friends
Draw The Line Where He DOES. And If Those Friends Knew Their Buddy Had
A Lot Of Respect For His Woman, They Wouldn't Be Teasing Her•
