10 Things
that a woman may not wish to say out loud but expects from her man and for very
good reasons.
Women are
better at expressing themselves than men but even they, sometimes, cannot
convey certain things they expect their men to do or say, out loud. They do
expect their partners to be attentive to these needs (which they should) but do
not explicitly speak of these things. Obviously, not all of these apply to all
women but these are the most common things which a woman wants from her man and
wishes he would notice and figure it out himself.
#10 Be
proud of me
Every woman
wants her man to be proud of her. Women want their men to accept them as they
are and that they appreciate the efforts that the woman is putting into the
relationship. A woman may not say it out loud but she wants her man to feel
proud of who she is as a person.
#9 Protect
me
By
protection, we do not mean physical or financial protection but emotional and
spiritual protection. Women wish their partners to understand when they are
down and help them get back on their feet. They expect their partners to be
aware of the troubles brewing within them and to protect them if they fail to
protect themselves.
#8 I
deserve your attention
#7 Talk to
me, communicate
Men have
difficulty expressing themselves when compared to women. But communication is
the key to any healthy relationship and a woman would expect her man to talk to
her. She may not say it to your face but she would appreciate you to open up to
her and express what you wish to say.
#6 Help me
Women, and
also men for that matter, cannot do everything on their own. Be it a simple
task as getting groceries or something as difficult as raising a child, it's
always when the couple acts as a team that they succeed. So, she may need help
from time to time from her partner but may not say it explicitly. This is where
he needs to be attentive and help out the best he can.
#5 I may
need a break
A woman may
need some time for herself. She may wish to be isolated for a while to get her
thoughts together. It does not mean that she is looking to break-up or has
started hating her husband, it may simply mean that she wishes to recharge. She
would not speak of it but if the man is attentive, he would understand the need
and let her be. She'll be back stronger and happier once she has figured her
thoughts out.
#4 Lead
when I can't
A
relationship is based on equality and most women are more than capable of
taking care of their own needs. They are smart and independent and the
traditional roles of the partner as a leader is no longer confined to men. So a
woman would lead, she would take charge but she also needs her partner to know
that she may not always be able to do so. And it is at this moment that he
needs to step in and help out, just like she would do for him.
#3 I need
intimacy
Yes, a
woman would need intimacy. Physical, mental or emotional, intimacy does matter
to her. She would do things to hint at her need for intimacy but would rarely
speak about it directly. Her man, therefore, needs to understand this and look
out for signals so that when she does need intimacy, she need not even speak of
it.
#2 Be
thoughtful
Being alert
to someone else's need is very difficult but if you are in a relationship then
you have to be alert to them, one way or the other. Think about what your
partner needs, what they like, dislike and what motivates them. A woman does
not make this need explicit but she is right if she expects her partner to be
thoughtful. Doesn't he expect the same?
#1 Accept
my imperfections
Everyone
desires acceptance, mind, body, and soul. And so does a woman, especially from
her companion. She knows that she is not perfect and that she may have flaws,
but who doesn't? The most important thing for her is, and this she would never
say, that her man accepts her imperfections and strengthen her than make her
insecure by rejecting the same.
