Why Do Men Not Talk About Personal Issues? Understanding Why He Won’t Open Up to You
Emotions. Women thrive on them. Men hate them. Have you ever wondered, “Why do men not talk about personal issues?” Women find it extremely frustrating when a man won’t talk to them about what he is feeling. A woman can usually sense that something is wrong, but it can be extremely difficult to get a man to open up and talk about personal issues, especially if they deal with emotions.
Let’s just say that Chrisette inspired me.
I have to admit it, I have been wasting my time…and maybe he would say the same thing.
Have you ever met someone that you’d never–not in a million years–think that you would click–let alone that they would be someone that you’d end up in this weird back and forth relationship? (And I use the term relationship loosely…)
say you love me…or your hate me.
say you like me…do you want to date me?
say it’s over–but it never began…
say its over–just tell me its the end?!
say we’re friends…or enemies
say we’re lovers…are you that into me?
say we’ll never…be anything
just say something…because i can’t let it be
The Relationship Manual
I often talk to clients who are furious over how someone has treated them. They assume the other person should have known better. For example, a girl complains that her boyfriend didn’t have her favorite wine on hand for their anniversary dinner (although she never mentioned wanting it), or that her girlfriends should’ve known she’d need to spend the entire girls-night-out venting about her boss.
How will I know if he really loves me…

I do not know about you, but I am not particularly fond of playing the guessing game. There is nothing worse than having strong feelings for someone, and not knowing if he feels the same. Yes, I could always ask, but then he may feel backed into a corner, and obligated to give the answer he feels I need to hear…not necessarily the truth. Not to mention, I feel that actions speak louder than words, and for me it’s usually about the little things.
What is the significance of titles in a relationship?
While some may say that titles are only words used to describe or define your relationship to others, I feel that titles are important in helping us to define who we are to one another. Has of late, I am hearing many bois say that they don not believe in titles…they are not down with the boyfriend/girlfriend mumbo-jumbo. They feel that their actions should let us (women) know how they feel…what we mean to them.
I have a question, how are we defining right back?
A guy I was involved with in my former life, would abruptly end phone calls with, “Let me call you right back.” In my naivete, I would sit around waiting for him to call me right back. There were times when I fell asleep waiting for him to call me back…I would go to bed about 10pm, wake up thinking (more so hoping) it was 10:30, only to realize it was 4am and I am still waiting on that call…I soon came to learn that with him, “right back” meant within the next 24 to 48 hours.
as i watch the encore presentations of “the real housewives of orange county,” i find myself being infuriated with the intrusions of one housewife into the married life of another.
having friends is a great thing, especially when we are going through the trials and tribulations of life; however, when you start counseling people about relationships, it is time to be truly cautious. if it is a marriage, then your “advice” is impinging on a covenant relationship (AKA that’s “God’s stuff), if it is a monogamous relationship, then you run the risk of creating a situation where you become a negative influence, and ultimately an object of loathing.
A hoodie and a pair of Timbs head my way
He takes his hands and pulls his dreadlocks out his face
He caught me eying him and looked at me, like I got this
Me being me, quickly had to smack my teeth, roll my eyes, and look at him sideways and crooked
Why you gots to be So Ghetto.
You don’t know me
But yeah I do.

Do your friends (past and/or present) not get along with your significant other (past or present)?
Think about the reasons why they do not get along… then ask yourself…
Am I partially (or wholly) to blame?
