I (Greg) was just on KLRC this morning talking about a very interesting article about 25 ways to make a woman anxious and 25 ways to stimulate shame in a man. For women, some of the answers in the article were things like ignore her, take her for granted, yell or get angry, or dismiss her ideas…what about you? For men, the article quoted things like correct what he says, overreact, criticize, or use a harsh tone…what about you? I’m curious about your thoughts…in the context of your marriage, as a woman, what makes you anxious or as a man, what stimulates a feeling of shame?

I’d certainly like to hear all 25…for both the men and the women…
It makes me anxious (frustrated) when my man doesn’t really HEAR me. I’ve talked to him a number of times about things that would really make me feel loved or things in the house that matter to me or issues we have with the kids. I feel like I talk and it’s like talking to a wall - he “listens” when we talk but then later it’s like we haven’t even talked at all (even if we’ve had the same conversation 15 times).
I’m anxious when I talk to my husband about something multiple times (like what would make me really feel loved, issues with the kids, household issues, whatever) and while he seems to be listening - later on he doesn’t even remember the conversation. Even if it is a conversation we’ve had 15x he still can’t remember. Makes me feel anxious and unloved.
