Dry Congrats on Career Accomplishments: Are Women More Excited About Relationship News?

Leave a comment

This will be quick as I know you’re busy closing business deals, setting up meetings and planning your life and every one elses.

A close acquaintance of mine was a bit bothered that when she shared some great news with friends and family everyone blew it off as “oh, that’s nice.” 
To her this was huge, life changing almost but it was treated as an everyday occurrence. It got me to thinking (every situation should) why are women so quick to jump on the bandwagon in regards to relationships but when it comes to career success the conversation is short?
Women have discovered how to control their financial destiny but are still a bit confused at how to bag the man of their dreams. The truth is in today’s society it’s an easier task becoming CEO of your company than to find a man that genuinely loves, appreciates and respects you. This is a hard reality for many of us. 
So I guess because a large chunk of women are moving up the corporate ladder a promotion is no longer BIG news but moving up the relationship ladder is bit more of an accomplishment. 
Do your friends seem more excited about relationship subjects than career subjects? Why do think that is? 

The Unspoken Truth: True Love isn’t all smooches and hugs

Here goes. Everyday you spend with the love of your life will not be lovely. There are arguments, sometimes you have 2 stubborn people refusing to admit fault. That foolish pride wrecks many a relationships. Not saying what you want from someone can also cause the union to go down hill. Open your mouth sweetheart as a wise blogger once said ” Closed mouths don’t get fed.” How can someone satisfy you, if they don’t have a clue as to what you want.

Complaining does nothing but make you look like a crazy lady that keeps going back to the unhappy place you just said you can’t take anymore of. Yep, that’s what you said!

What can you do to start living a life of love more often?

Communicate: Not scream. Tell your partner what you need. Let them know what makes you happy. I’m you believe that because you spend so much time with your hunny he knows. No sweetie, you better speak now or forever hold your anger. (We know that’s not going to happen.)

Show them what you want: The best way to communicate is to show your partner what you want. Treat him to a nice dinner, card and little gift. Nothing fancy, just a simple I appreciate you. That’s what you want right? A whole lot of small appreciation (BIG appreciations every now and then too)

Point out what’s good: It’s so easy to say what someone is doing wrong. It may take a little effort and thought but compliment all the things he does right. Women have become very strong, guarded even with our feelings. It’s ok to let that guard down to say “Baby, You make some great hamburger helper.” or “You’re really good at math can you help the kids.” Happy women everywhere agree that stroking a man’s ego is the best way keep him happy (And get what you want 😉
