Row 5K Time Trial: 18:21. This hurt. PR is 18:20. After all the clean pulls I just didn’t have it. Not sure I have much more in me than that… 

Communication Breakdown

Men and Women are different, drastically different. Aside from the (very) obvious physiological differences, we communicate differently. We feel, think, and we act/react MUCH different than one another. This has taken me YEARS of not only living around, interacting with and dating the opposite sex, it’s taken me years of thought, patience, and willingness to understand and further my relationship with my beautiful bride to be.

People of all ages “date” and form relationships but, very few out of the vast group, maintain their relationship(s). It takes work. A lot of work. It takes patience, understanding – and sometimes not understanding, forgiveness, trust, and you have to WANT to get better; you have to WANT to make it work. Every relationship requires commitment and sacrifice, it’s up to the individual to decide if the sacrifice and work is worth the reward. This post isn’t meant to be “couples therapy” so let’s get back to the point… Men are (mostly) logical beings. We think, generally speaking, in terms of problem solving. If something is “wrong”, we want to fix it. Therefor, in our minds, eliminating the problem, or reason for fighting/disagreeing. Women, are mostly, emotions forward beings. They most often times act and react predominantly based on emotion. And keep in minds, emotions don’t always make “sense”, to us as men, OR to them as women. We are scientifically wired differently. Hormones, balances and imbalances… I won’t get into that – bottom line, logic vs emotion. Women often times express feelings and aren’t doing so because they want you to FIX anything, they’re just sharing. They want you to listen to them. To “feel for them”. This, for a male, is often REALLY REALLY difficult to understand and cooperate with.

This post isn’t meant to be a science lesson but, instead, to help you at least SOMEWHAT understand the differences in how men and women communicate. In every relationship, it’s important to step back and LISTEN to not only what the other person is saying but, what they aren’t saying. Do they want a solution? Do they want help? Are they just venting?

LISTEN.

I highly suggest taking 2min and watching this video, preferably with your loved one, not only is it MIND BLOWINGLY relatable, you’ll both get a good laugh of the situation and hopefully learn a little about one another.
