How well do you know your partner?

The things you do for your partner may actually be hurting the relationship.

Men may think what their partner wants from them is doing household chores, the garden, mowing, cooking, washing the car etc. But their partner still isn’t happy.

What is it they’re actually needing?

For a woman, it isn’t just about doing, it’s about the emotional connection first.

If the man is too busy around the house their partner will feel rejected, lonely and disconnected.

There needs to be a happy balance agreed between both people.

It isn’t that their partner is ungrateful which is how it can appears to the man. Their partner really needs to emotionally connect with her man.

What does this look like?

When she comes in through the door, she needs that hug at the end of her day. She needs the kisses and the embrace. What she needs then is to be able to unwind with her man and talk to him about her day.

For men it could be different.

Some men after they walk through the door, though they too may need an affectionate embrace, like to unwind on their own because they have so much going on in their head.

Whatever it is you both need to feel loved and wanted, you need to communicate this to each other. Find out how you can best support your partner.

Each person’s needs are different and needs to be acknowledged.
